About me
Hello and Welcome!
I'm Rakhi and I offer tailored support designed to meet your unique health needs, whether you’re managing a chronic condition, overcoming health challenges, or just seeking to improve your overall wellbeing. Here’s a brief snapshot of what I can help you with:
- Managing weight, controlling sugar cravings, or addressing insulin issues.
- Feeling unwell despite "normal" GP blood test results.
- Struggling with skin conditions like itchy, dry, and inflamed skin or pore blockages.
- Understanding food intolerances and food related pain.
- Reducing symptoms of unexplained pain that stops you leading the life you want.
- Strategies to ease brain fog, constant fatigue, and sleep disturbances.

- Health MOT - to check how you can improve your diet and nutrient intake
I’m here to give you the knowledge and tools you need to live a healthier life. If you're feeling overwhelmed by conflicting health advice, my practice is here to offer clarity and direction.
As a Registered Nutritional Therapist and Lifestyle Medicine Practitioner, I help my clients to lower their health risks and improve their wellbeing.
My expertise spans a broad range of conditions, including gut health, metabolic issues, autoimmune disorders, thyroid dysfunction, skin health, weight management, and immune system health.
How I Get to Know You: I take a deep dive into your eating habits, lifestyle choices, past health issues, and take your family health history to spot what’s off balance. I listen closely to what your body is telling us, so we can tailor a health plan that’s all about you. This plan tackles your diet and lifestyle, getting to the heart of what’s causing your issues, to help you feel better from the inside out.
Functional Medicine: Drawing on the principles of functional medicine, I take a holistic view of your health, considering how factors such as stress levels, sleep quality, diet, physical activity, and family history could be impacting your wellbeing. By using functional testing, I gain a clear understanding of your health, which allows us to craft a personalised plan tailored to your specific needs.
How To Connect: For your convenience, my practice is entirely online, enabling me to support clients internationally, although I am based in London.

Personal experience
My journey into nutritional therapy was profoundly shaped by personal health challenges, including being diagnosed with PCOS, type 2 diabetes, lupus, and an underactive thyroid. These conditions had a severe impact on my health, leading to symptoms such as debilitating fatigue, painful menstrual periods, weight gain, thinning hair, brain fog, slow digestion, joint pain, and extensive inflammation.
Given my family's history with metabolic diseases and my genetic predisposition, I recognised an urgent need to take control of my health proactively. The conventional medical treatments available to me involved a regimen of multiple medications with the of burden side effects, which only compounded my difficulties. I knew I had to try something different that saw me as a whole person, not just a collection of symptoms. Motivated by my personal health challenges, I committed to a different path, seeking out holistic and integrative methods to manage my conditions and improve my wellbeing. This approach has not only shaped my own health journey but also deeply informs how I help others navigate their unique health challenges.
