Hi, I'm Rachel 🐻
I created Brown Bear Wellness to give busy people practical, easy-to-follow support to take control of their wellbeing through nutrition, movement, and a good dose of no-nonsense encouragement.
Grounded in a nursing career and a Masters in nutrition — real science, translated into things you can actually do.
Holistic support built around your life, your goals and your stage and never a one-size-fits-all plan.
No extreme diets, no unrealistic routines. Small, sustainable changes that fit around real, busy lives.
From the ward to Brown Bear Wellness
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.
“The aim is simple, help you understand the value of nutrition and movement, and build the skills to take control of your wellbeing.”
