*Practices Virtually Worldwide
Hi there! I’m Rachel Galperin. I’m a Certified Integrative Health Coach, Artist, Writer & Recipe Developer. I enjoy teaching folks with allergies, autoimmune symptoms and disordered eating habits how to heal am passionate about using food, plants and nature as all equally important sources of medicine to do so.
When working 1:1 with a client I often integrate writing or art to process trauma or roadblocks. The practice of writing through trauma has helped tremendously in my own healing journey as a creative with autoimmune conditions and I love using similar methods with my clients.
Being on an autoimmune healing journey can be a long, hard and lonely road. And it has taken me over a decade to get a proper diagnosis. I spent a majority of this decade trying to convince doctors that I am worthy of treatment, which is a tremendous process to take on alone and I am grateful to have had my own source of support and guidance.
This is also a big part of my focus with clients. Having the encouragement, guidance and support from someone who had been through a similar process and is able to guide you from illness to health is an incredible opportunity. I am so grateful to be able to offer this service to you.
In my spare time you can find me reading, writing novels and poetry, playing with my pets, cooking up a storm and foraging for local wild plants.

I spent 6 years going from Dr. to Dr. trying to get answers for my exhaustion & random symptoms only to be told by them all that I was healthy or it was all in my head. It wasn’t until my leaky gut entered the picture & started causing undeniable problems that they paid attention. This is despite 2 miscarriages & a stillborn son & testing ANA positive during that time (although showing no symptoms). I was told I had Microscopic Colitis, but I knew there was more, & continued to push for more testing. My ANA came back positive again, 19 years later. A visit to the Rheumatologist showed I had SIX autoimmune diseases, Fibromyalgia, POTS, Auto dystonia, Neuropathies & Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I felt it was a death sentence! I was given meds & told these are chronic illnesses, so expect them to get worse. I was devastated, my Dr’s had let me down, how had things gotten SO out of control?
I came home & started researching, Autoimmune Protocol Diet (AIP) came up & it is not an exaggeration to say it has given me my life back. I went from barely being able to get out of bed after sleeping all night to working all day & then hiking & climbing mountains. As a licensed therapist of 25 years, I can help you nail down the stress, sleep & lifestyle piece, which is just as important as our diet. We will discuss baby steps to AIP & working smarter, not harder, to get you in a healthy life style where you are FULLY living life again. We will learn to have balance & feel at peace. I help you learn how to plan meals & batch cook, how to make AIP easy & how to set healthy boundaries to bring joy back into your life. My journey has taught me so much, & now I want to teach others how to reclaim their life & power. You can reach me at the email or phone number above, I look forward to hearing from you.

My name is Celine Barrica, a Licensed Acupuncturist, AIP Certified Coach, and Certified Massage Therapist.
I support my patients with a holistic approach by taking into account all aspects of their life and how it relates to their health journey. I help them feel empowered and be able to advocate for themselves and what they need. I came into healing work as a patient first, and along with my own autoimmune journey managing Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, Psoriasis, and Psoriatic Arthritis, I understand the difficulties with navigating the health system, and the emotional, mental, and physical struggles involved. My practice’s focus is primarily in autoimmune care, and am also a strong supporter for BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and other underserved communities.
An in-person session with me may include a combination of Chinese Medicine practices such as acupuncture, herbal formulas, cupping, moxa, in addition to a mix of manual manipulation techniques such as Cranial Sacral Therapy, or Visceral Mobilization. We first start out with a deep dive into health history and then tailor a customized approach to treatment specific to your needs. Online consultations specifically for autoimmune coaching are also available.
