About Me and Why I Defy the Diagnosis
Through years of study in A&P (Anatomy & Physiology), nutrition, holistic therapies, applied herbal choices, energy work, and animal wellbeing, I created my Animal Healing & Wellbeing Programme, helping people better understand the emotional, physical, and energetic connection between themselves and the animals they love.
🌹
If you notice a common thread running through all of this — health, animals, creativity, mentoring, healing journey — you would be right.
Everything I create is about helping people understand themselves more deeply, reconnect with possibility, and feel empowered rather than overwhelmed.
I believe knowledge matters.
Research matters.
Stories matter.
Animals matter.
And when we combine science, curiosity, compassion, and courage, extraordinary things can happen.
Welcome to my world — I am glad you found your way here.
🌹
I defy my diagnosis and dare you to do the same.
Not because I reject medicine — I do not. Medical support matters deeply. But I believed there had to be more we could do to better support our bodies, minds, hormones, and long-term wellbeing. For our family and our animals.
That belief became a mission.
🌹
Now, my mission is to help others feel informed, supported, empowered, and hopeful again.
🌹
Because I believe we are often capable of far more than we are led to believe.

Writing became both therapy and purpose while raising twins as a single mother.
I write both fiction and non-fiction, which is practical, experience-led books designed to help people explore the world with more confidence, realism, and joy. My new “So… Is It Worth It?” travel series combines honest experience, practical tips on navigating travel while managing chronic health conditions, and a touch of humour to help readers decide whether iconic adventures truly live up to the dream.

If you love worlds such as Star Wars, The Hunger Games, Dune, The Matrix, Harry Potter, His Dark Materials (The Golden Compass), Stranger Things, Shadow and Bone, or The Last of Us, then you may just find yourself at home in The Storyverse: https://www.rachaelruthholistic.com/enter-the-storyverse
🌹
I wanted to create the kind of travel books I could never quite find — honest, inspiring, and genuinely useful. Because life should still include adventure even when health challenges try to convince us otherwise.
🌹
Today, I write and publish as R E Lewin, creator of The Children of Pisces series — stories inspired by resilience, transformation, animals, hope, and the idea that even impossible worlds can be survived. Energy healing and animal communication run through my writing.
🌹
My love of storytelling eventually evolved into writing and publishing mentorship programs, see Enter the Storyverse, where I help aspiring writers move from idea to finished book, while learning the practical realities of writing, publishing, and building confidence as an author.

I also love seeing people transform, whether that is at work with a project team or as a holistic coach with an individual.
I have one overriding passion:
🌹
Helping people and animals transform their lives through knowledge, creativity, health, and self-belief.
🌹
For more than 25 years, I have worked in IT as a Trainer, Technical Author, Business Analyst, Programme Manager, and problem solver. My career has centred around analysing complex information, data mining, systems thinking, process improvement, and turning overwhelming detail into something practical and meaningful.
🌹
In simple terms?
I investigate problems and connect the dots.
🌹
That analytical mindset became deeply personal when my own health began to unravel through chronic health issues. Rather than simply accept deterioration, I used my Business Analyst and research skills to explore everything science had to say and combined evidence-based research with studies to better understand how the body works as an interconnected system and how others had found positive results.
🌹
For PCOS/PMOS & Diabetes, the result became The MENTORS Path — a wellbeing programme designed to help people navigate hormonal imbalance, fear, and overwhelm with more clarity, knowledge, and support. Everything I wish I had been given all consolidated in one place.
Animals have also shaped my life in profound ways as you can see on the animalcare page. At the same time, another part of me was quietly demanding space. I have always been a storyteller. The Children of Pisces series is a science-fiction fantasy adventure I created to be enjoyed across generations — a story designed to feel as engaging for adults as it is for younger readers. With characters based on my animals, one might easily assume my husky is my Chewbacca, whilst Bardo is a somewhat moody character based on my fox red Labrador with whiskas like an otter and is somewhat of a cross between Yoda and the racoon out of guardians of the galaxy.
🌹
I wanted to create something families could genuinely enjoy together. Although published as a Young Adult series, the books were written to feel age-neutral and gender-inclusive, with themes of courage, identity, resilience, transformation, animals, hope, and what it means to find your place in a changing world.
🌹
One of the things I love most is seeing how different people connect with the story. Men I have worked with in IT enjoy it. Women love it. Teenagers become immersed in it. Grandparents read it together with grandchildren.
Stories have power.
🌹
For many people facing stress, health challenges, grief, or difficult periods in life, creativity can offer something deeply healing — escapism, imagination, hope, and the chance to reconnect with possibility again.
🌹
Everyone has a story worth telling, and sometimes the most difficult chapters of our lives become the inspiration for something meaningful. I have found the best work often comes from my darkest of times.
🌹
So keep a diary.
Write things down.
One day your story may matter more than you realise.
You can also listen to The Rose Goddess Pod on YouTube and Spotify, where I interview inspiring professionals and share practical, science-informed insights to help us better navigate the often overwhelming world we live in — so that we can move from fear and survival into greater health, resilience, joy, and empowerment.

As a single mum of twins, I know what hard times feel like. If finances are a worry, please reach out about payment plans. Your wellbeing matters, and cost should never be the reason someone neglects their own healing, growth, or self-care.
This is your reminder to pause.
To breathe.
To remember who you are.
