Harmony Nutrition & Lactation, LLC seeks to educate and empower new and expectant parents of color to embrace good nutrition and breastfeeding as they thrive and adjust to their new norm. After working in a variety of settings for many years, Rachel noticed gaps in service for a number of families, but especially families of color. It was then that her passion for decreasing racial/ethnic health disparities and achieving health equity among all people emerged. After seeing an immense need, she wanted to create a space where the health of families of color was being addressed intentionally. Rachel makes every effort to build a supportive, informed and overall happier and healthier community through education, outreach, and support. Rachel offers preconception, prenatal, postpartum, infant, and preschool nutrition counseling as these are critical times in both a woman and a child’s life in determining health outcomes and developing habits. Rachel provides individualized care to each client and offers materials and tools to assist them in achieving their goals. She conducts one-on-one consultations and also has packages available for additional follow-up assessments. Rachel’s overall goal is to assist families of color in achieving more positive outcomes through early nutritional guidance, support, and education around relationships between food and health and to empower them to make the best possible nutrition and lifestyle-related decisions for their children and themselves. She is ready to help you reach your unique goals and believes it is so rewarding to see people get excited about taking charge of their own health!
