Rachelle’s Clear Skin Transformation
When Rachelle came to see me in June 2023, she was feeling frustrated and self-conscious. The persistent acne along her jawline had not only affected her confidence but also left her feeling like she was out of options. She told me how her skin issues had been impacting her social life—avoiding photos, hesitating to meet new people, and spending too much time and money on makeup to cover her blemishes. Despite trying various treatments and seeing skin specialists, nothing had provided lasting relief. Her goal was simple yet powerful: she wanted to feel confident enough to go makeup-free within three months.
During our first consultation, Rachelle shared more about her overall health. Alongside the acne, she often felt bloated and uncomfortable after meals. She experienced abdominal pain, burping, and occasional reflux. Her energy levels were low, and she relied on quick snacks like biscuits and chocolate to get through the day, which only added to her frustration. She drank about 750 ml of water daily, far below what her body needed, and frequently felt tired and dehydrated. Together, we started piecing together the underlying factors contributing to her skin concerns.
Through private blood tests and collaboration with her GP, we uncovered that Rachelle had Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, mild iodine and Vitamin D deficiencies, low iron levels, and signs of gut dysbiosis. These imbalances were significant contributors to her acne and overall wellbeing. Understanding her body’s needs allowed us to create a tailored plan to address these issues holistically.
The plan we designed focused on rebuilding her health from the inside out. We supported her immune system with herbal formulations and targeted supplements, addressed gut imbalances with a healing meal plan and specialised probiotics, and developed a custom botanical skincare routine to calm inflammation and repair her skin. Nutrient deficiencies were addressed with strategies to improve selenium and iodine levels, while practical lifestyle adjustments like increasing water intake and morning sunlight exposure helped restore her energy and vitality.
The results were transformative. Within one month, Rachelle noticed a visible reduction in redness and inflammation. Her skin looked calmer, and she felt energised and hopeful for the first time in years. By three months, her skin was clear and glowing. Her Hashimoto’s was in remission, her iron levels had stabilised, and her confidence soared. Now, 12 months later, Rachelle’s skin remains radiant and blemish-free, even without supplements. She’s maintained her results with a balanced diet and proper hydration, feeling more in control of her health than ever before.
Rachelle expressed her gratitude, saying, “Ashlee was so thorough in her assessment, and I felt immediate relief knowing we were addressing the root cause of my acne. It’s been life-changing to feel confident in my skin again. I was nervous about stopping supplements during the maintenance phase, but I’m so proud to say my skin has stayed clear without them. I can’t thank Ashlee enough!”
Later, she shared: "You were the first person to help me on this journey and it's changed my life!"
Rachelle’s transformation didn’t stop with her skin. Inspired by her journey to better health, she has since taken a bold step in her career. Rachelle has opened her own business in holistic dentistry, offering care that emphasises the connection between dental health and overall wellbeing. She has dived deep into understanding how oral health impacts the entire body, providing her clients with a more comprehensive, health-focused approach to dentistry. We are thrilled to be collaborating together to combine our services, offering an integrative approach that bridges internal health and dental health to help our clients achieve optimal wellness.
Why Personalised Care is Essential
Rachelle’s success wasn’t the result of a one-size-fits-all approach. Every aspect of her plan—from dietary adjustments to supplementation—was specifically tailored to her unique health needs. The results she achieved highlight the importance of working with a qualified practitioner who can connect the dots between symptoms, lab results, and underlying causes.
Attempting to replicate this process without professional guidance can lead to suboptimal outcomes or even exacerbate existing issues. If you’re ready to discover the root cause of your own skin or health concerns, I’m here to help.
