{design your life for balance}
Discover health, vitality and balance through learning Ayurveda. Ayurveda is the system of biocharacteristics medicine that originated in India thousands of years ago. Ayurveda is ‘medicine for the people’ - not just for experts. Its is a tradition that has been passed down through families for centuries, a tried and true system of healing.
As an Ayurveda Health Counselor, my job is to teach you the tools you need for health. Personal counseling sessions use ancient wisdom coupled with modern clinical practices to optimize your health and vitality. Following a detailed assessment of your biocharacteristics, diet, and lifestyle, together we will co-create and implement a plan to outline and achieve your wellness goals in a unique and accessible way that is authentic to you.
Ayurveda can help you design your life in a way that brings about more ease and freedom.
I’m Rachael Harper. I am an Ayurveda Health Counselor and Biocharacteristics Clinician in Mount Holly, NC.

- Artists, Musicians, Eccentrics, Misfits, Free Spirits, Night-Owls…
Sample areas of focus:
- daily routine and implementing healthy habits in an accessible way
- Ayurvedic nutrition for your unique body and individual needs, based on your biopatterns
- digestion, specific digestive issues, + weight management
- improved energy levels + better sleep
- mental health, clarity + focus
{breaking through anxiety for better health}
I am no stranger to anxiety. It can be debilitating and prevent us from doing all kinds of things that we want or need to do, even the most ‘simple’ tasks are not always so simple with anxiety.
I see you.
So how are you supposed to get started with health counseling when there are so many unknowns and potential triggers for anxiety?
Options to begin:
- a Free 15 min consult (phone call) with me to see if these sessions are a good fit for you
- a group presentation (in person / virtual / pre-recorded) as a general overview of what it might look like to work together
- jump right in with a full Intake Session and begin the work!
common Triggers —> Encouragements + My Pledge to You
- Opening up —> I will offer guidance, but ultimately, you control the direction of the sessions, what you want to share, and you choose which recommendations to implement for your wellness plan. Our conversations are 100% confidential.
- Trying new things —> Again, you are ultimately in control, I am here to offer suggestions and guidance. (Also, ‘No’ is a complete sentence.) This is a co-creative effort, I will not tell you what to do. I will educate you and hold space for you to make your own choices. I will not try to convince you to do things that make you uncomfortable.
- Fear of Failure —> Failure is not a thing in this scenario. You will succeed in improving your health in some way. Simply showing up for yourself is already success. We will employ baby steps as needed based on what you deem accessible during our conversation. I will encourage you, and you will never be forced to take on more than your comfort level. Together we will find a strategy that fits you and your lifestyle, rather than trying to fit you into a mold.
- Financial —> Payment Plan and Sliding Scale options are available for those who need it. If you are on the fence, schedule a 15min Free Consultation with me to chat about your goals and intentions, and how I might help you reach them. (Please do not allow the pricing to deter you, let’s work something out.)
- Commitment —> You are under No Obligation to make changes or follow my recommendations, however, I am happy to be your accountability partner if you choose it. If you struggle to commit to healthy habits, you get to choose to begin again, try something different, or let it go. I will support you in whatever decision you make.

I first fell in love with Ayurveda in 2009 and was drawn more deeply into the teachings when I began experiencing chronic headaches and minor digestive issues in late 2011. With John Immel of Joyful Belly Ayurveda as my first teacher and mentor, I learned how to heal my own body and design my habits to live a life of better health and greater ease. Further studies over the years with a variety of teachers including Joyful Belly’s Clinical Ayurveda Health Counselor certification has helped me to create a well-rounded clinical practice and curriculum to share with clients, students, teachers, and loved ones.
