About
I'm Rachel and I created Brown Bear Wellness to help provide practical, easy to follow information to help you take control of your wellbeing. I offer a variety of Workshops and Classes with the aim to help people understand of the importance of nutrition and movement.
My Story
I spent 14 years working in Nursing in both Ireland and Australia. Upon returning from Australia I embarked on a Masters in Food Science, Nutrition & Health, as this is an area I am greatly interested in.
Nutrition is a fundamental part of our overall health and wellbeing but can often be poorly understood.
The importance of movement and exercise in supporting healthy ageing was evident throughout my career as a nurse.
In recent times I have gained a qualification as an Accredited Personal Trainer, embarking on this course helped me to better understand biomechanics and exercise programming. Exercise and movement also promote health and wellbeing.
I have created this website to provide visitors with information on the variety of services I offer as well as provide some useful, easy to digest (pardon the pun!) advice through my blog.
Be sure to follow me on social media as I also use those channels to frequently share advice and updates. I look forward to hearing from you should you wish to reach out and find out more about what Brown Bear Wellness offers.

Services
I recently had the support of Rachel re my ever changing symptoms and challenges of menopause. The support I received was that of understanding, compassion and practical suggestions. Rachel's understanding of the physical and emotional changes were evident and with this understanding she provided some easy to implement steps in the right direction with the offer of follow up support when needed. I really appreciated Rachel's sensitivity, non-judgemental support and her time when I needed it.
