Rachel Olivas, NTP

Rachel's background includes medical sales and a life-long hobby of studying nutrition with a particular interest in Detoxification. She battled her own weight throughout Jr. High and High School and then lost several loved ones to cancer in one year. She became fascinated by what we put in our body and how that affects our health.

Suddenly being thin wasn’t as important as being healthy and nutrition became a passion and a hobby. She feels so blessed that it is now also her career.

Rachel believes that disease is the result of nutritional deficiencies in our diet, and that our bodies have the innate intelligence and ability to heal virtually any ailment provided we give it the appropriate tools to do so. Unfortunately today we are inundated by poor quality food and we also enter this world inheriting the nutritional deficiencies of our parents.

Through proper diet, exercise, a spiritual practice (whatever that means for you), and good quality supplementation we can live healthy, energetic and inspired lives! Rachel's approach to Nutritional Therapy looks at the body as whole and integrates that philosophy into what she does with her clients.

Rachel has a strong passion for Detoxification and digestion, and works with all ages. Sometimes we know what we should do but we get stuck. She is a coach to inspire, motivate and keep clients moving in the right direction. Do you want to have more energy, feel healthier, and get inspired about the food that you are eating and your life? Then she is the right Practitioner for you.

In addition to her Nutritional Therapy practice at The Gem Clinic, Rachel is a Nutritional Consultant for Healthcare providers throughout Western Washington. Outside work she enjoys hiking and camping with her 12-year-old son, reading, and singing.
