Rachel Niles

About Rachel

After serving eight years in the Air Force, I spent the next twelve years searching for answers to ongoing medical concerns. In 2009, I was finally diagnosed with Celiac disease—an ironic twist, given that my family owned a wheat farm in Montana. At the time, I knew nothing about living gluten-free, but through extensive work with my Dietitian, I gained the knowledge and inspiration to pursue the same career. My passion lies in guiding others through their nutritional journey, drawing on both my personal experience living gluten-free and my professional expertise in caring for patients with end-stage kidney disease.

Approach to care

Open communication will be the foundation of our journey together. Through honest and thoughtful conversations, we’ll uncover the changes that feel most meaningful to you in this chapter of your life. These discussions aren’t just about nutrition, they’re about understanding your goals, your challenges, and the unique circumstances that shape your path. I’ll walk alongside you every step of the way, offering encouragement when things feel difficult, support when you need guidance, and genuine celebration as you achieve victories both big and small. Together, we’ll create a plan that not only improves your health but also empowers you to feel confident and inspired in your choices.

Together, we’ll take the time to explore your experiences, challenges, and hopes that have shaped your decision to join Nourish. This is more than just the start of a nutrition plan, it’s the beginning of a relationship built on trust, understanding, and collaboration. By listening to your story and honoring your unique needs, we’ll create a space where you feel valued and empowered. Our work together will mark a fresh start in your journey toward better health!
