About Rachael Welsby

I qualified as a paediatric nurse in 2003 and continue to work in this role as a Clinical Nurse Specialist within a Paediatric Symptom and Palliative Care Team. 

I experienced my first reflexology treatment at the age of 19 and still remember it as if it were yesterday. The overwhelming sense of peace throughout the treatment was new to me and found it so beneficial that I was informed of possible areas within my body that may be slightly out of balance. From this treatment I was able to speak with my GP and after investigations was given a diagnosis of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, which I have worked hard to understand and manage naturally. I continue to have reflexology treatments on a regular basis to ensure my body is working in harmony- after all prevention is always better than cure in my opinion. 

In  2015 I completed a Diploma in Reflexology and continue to love working with people to help balance their bodies and minds and have been privileged to see incredible changes within people who have opened themselves up to this treatment. 

​

By 2018 I had completed my Reiki level 1 and 2 with the Reiki Academy London. Again, the sense of peace from giving and receiving this treatment is out of this world and I have had some incredible experiences with this therapy.

I became hooked on yoga in 2013. I had signed up to a 30 day hot yoga challenge and before I knew it my journey into the world of yoga had begun. 

Whether in a studio, at home or just in a quiet space I discovered the real freedom that yoga can bring. Not just mental and physical freedom but also emotional freedom and real peace of mind. 

By December 2018, I was ready to develop my own Yoga practice and became accredited with 200 hours of Seasonal Yoga Teacher Training with the Yoga Alliance.  Seasonal Yoga is a blend of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Seasonal living and Yoga which is tailored to suit the time of year by matching the yoga practice with the energy of the particular season and the natural cyclical flow of the year.

My yoga journey and my asana practice have taken me on a path of understanding which has shown me that the postures adopted in the various yoga moves are an important element and that these are made complete when combined with breath control and the power and therapeutic effects of meditation. I have dedicated time within my Yoga practice to develop my own teaching skills, with additional courses in Seasonal Yin and teaching Yoga to Children. 

​

I was blessed to transition from maden to mother in 2021 where I delivered  my beautiful daughter earth side. The journey of motherhood has taught me so much more about myself and I feel incredibly passionate about supporting women and families during this life changing time. 

​

I believe that we can choose to experience and find happiness and peace in our lives no matter what may be going on around us or what has happened to us in the past.  We can’t control the world around us but we can make a choice in how we perceive, view, and react to things.
