Meet Rachel 🐻

Nutritionist, Health Coach & Personal Trainer

I spent 14 years working in nursing, in both Ireland and Australia. Returning home, I embarked on a Masters in Food Science, Nutrition & Health, an area I'm genuinely passionate about.

Nutrition is a fundamental part of our overall health and wellbeing, yet it's so often poorly understood. I wanted to change that to make good information clear, warm and doable.

The importance of movement for healthy ageing was clear throughout my nursing career. So I trained as an Accredited Personal Trainer, which deepened my understanding of biomechanics and exercise programming.

Brown Bear Wellness brings it all together: services, classes, and easy-to-digest advice (pardon the pun!) through the blog.
