Herbal Consultations
It is an honor to support your healing journey
Focus
Most of the individuals I work with are burnout workaholics knocked down by fatigue and chronic dis-ease. They are usually high achievers who have been doing everything for everyone else for too long, living outside the capacity of their nervous system.
Background
My educational background is well-rounded, drawing upon Hawaiian, Western, and Eastern Herbal traditions. I specialize in plant-based living and regenerative detoxification for recovery from Chronic Active Epstein-Barr Virus, chronic fatigue and adrenal dysregulation.
Consultations
Your wellness protocol will include herbal, nutritional, and lifestyle recommendations. If you are seeking assistance, I offer a Free Clarity Call to discuss your goals and see if working together would be a good fit.
A Journey of Self Discovery
I was recently hosted on a podcast where I speak about how I came to study healing plants. After being plagued by mystery symptoms for four years and seeing 20 doctors who could not help me find clarity I came to learn through a friend that my health challenges might be due to Chronic Active Epstein Barr Virus (commonly referred to as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome).
This was a good possibility as I was a driven professional overworking to the point of burnout. This revelation led me on a physical, spiritual, mental and emotional healing journey to research and implement ways of living to support daily recovery. I now use this insight to help others suffering from chronic illness because I believe that nature's wisdom holds the keys to helping humanity heal.

Schedule a Free Clarity Call with Rachael McNerney
I began studying herbalism in 2018 to learn how to heal myself naturally when conventional medicine couldn't give me clarity. I understand that your healing is multifaceted and that your journey has been unique. That is why I take the time to get to know you and your constitution so well. The more insight you share with me in our session, the better I can tailor your protocol to your individual needs.

My Approach
I love working with clients that are committed to the daily work necessary to build longevity.
I see a limited amount of clients per week so I can provide the most comprehensive support to those choosing to work with me. You get my humanity along with my skills. I am dedicated to drawing from my education and resources to ensure suggestions provided help you see improvements.
I take into consideration your budget, time, and energy. Links to purchase all suggested items are included in your protocol. I aim to have you source from only one or two places, and always try to pass along discounts if available.
I share with you why I’ve choose elements of your protocol, and explain how each multitasker addresses your top concerns. Plants are versatile and have the ability to perform a variety of actions that will lead you to greater health.
I don’t hold back. I am honest with you because the truth will set you free! Others may only provide you with a fraction of the advice you’d benefit from . On the contrary, I include as much education as possible so that you return to your protocol in the months to follow. I want you to understand why you are implementing these changes in your life so they stick!
I include a Follow-up Consultation in the Initial Consultation Package because it is important for me to hear how you are doing to modify your protocol based on your feedback. Hearing how it is going for you helps me better assist you.
I aim to keep Follow-up Consultations affordable so that you can turn to me over time as you navigate the healing path.
Why Work With Me?
Experience
In addition to bringing my multi-cultural Herbalism training to my work, I have personally experienced health challenges that provide me with a deeper understanding that I use to enhance my clinical work.
I can more effectively help you navigate your recovery because I know better questions to ask, and have better resources to refer you to.
Empathy
I love being a part of your journey because I know along the way you will continue to discover your strength and resilience. You will learn more about yourself as you listen to your body and intently care for it.
I can teach you what to do when you are in a flare and are far from okay so that you become self sufficient. I will walk you through this process with compassion and encouragement.
Intuition
I help you be accountable to yourself. It is important to me that you harness your intuition on your path to resilience. Your intuition and mine will help us formulate your protocol.
I am here to listen, synthesize your thoughts, and reflect to you your top goals. I then provide well researched suggestions on how to achieve them with an integrative earth-based approach.

Understanding Chronic EBV
I gave a presentation on Understanding Chronic Active EBV to Herbalist colleagues in one of my Herbalism classes at the end of 2022.
It details truths about EBV, how I came to specialize in helping people heal from it, associated conditions, and common patterns in those that suffer.
It covers predictable triggers that cause EBV reactivation, which body systems to support, holistic guidance on nutrition, as well as, recommended supplements, lifestyle interventions, and botanical advice to help you improve.
“And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in.” -H. Murakami
I would love to hear your story…
“You don’t need to struggle alone. There are plant allies surrounding us that can help restore your vitality. I would be happy to share their healing properties with you.”
