Hi, my name is Rachel Seltzner, and I’m a Naturopath on a mission to make the world a better place by helping others feel their best. Once, I felt my mission was to help save the planet by helping people protect our natural environment. Through my own personal health revolution, I discovered it’s darn near impossible to do much of anything when you’re not well. My lofty plans were put on hold because I had to get myself out of a hospital bed. Once I was well enough, I started in a Master’s degree program in health, just for my own knowledge basically. Rather than continue with the MS, I found myself transferring into a Naturopathic Doctor program. While I was working in my practice as a Naturopath, I wanted to keep learning and somehow combine my newfound love for natural health with my ever-present passion for our natural world. Guess what? They are incredibly intertwined! I went on to complete my PhD, writing my dissertation on the powerful healing properties of nature.
So my new mission is really helping others with their own personal missions! I realize that most people are dealing with some degree of pain or other health struggles on a daily basis, and that affects not only their own health, but their relationships, their work and their own passions. Imagine a better, happier and healthier world! One where we almost always feel great and can enjoy life the way we want to. It would make a huge shift in our culture! Part of my mission is calling for a new perspective on health care. Rather than focus on just managing symptoms, like our current mainstream medical community does with drugs and surgery, I want us to focus on prevention. While medications and surgeries can offer life saving options, we need to focus on getting back in touch with nature and our true selves, and honoring our bodies with real food, sunshine and (eek!) even touching soil! It’s all good for us. My personal health revolution has led me to be a champion for change, and I hope to inspire others and guide them in leading a healthy lifestyle! This blog and website will be part of my platform for health revolution! I’m glad you found me. Join me and my mailing list to stay up to date on it all!
