Empower, Educate, Evolve:
A personal story of overcoming

Kristy Rackham founded My Holistic Nurse to help people deal with and heal from the debilitating emotional and mental struggle, and lifestyle impact that living with a chronic condition can have on the patient, their family and friends. 
Founder and Director, Kristy Lee Rackham was frustrated with the limitations of the medical health system for chronic illness.  She spent year after year, test after test, doctor after doctor trying to find treatments that worked for her chronic illness, and to find out what was going on with her 3 year old son's diminishing health. No one knew how to help either of them. Tests came back negative. Many told her there was nothing wrong and that it was all in her head.  Sometimes she believed them and those were the toughest days.
At the peak of her illness in 2012, she realised she already had the tools and knowledge she needed to find a path back to health.  She turned to her 20 years experience in natural health, mind sciences, energy medicine and lifestyle knowledge, and her learning as a student nurse.  She immersed herself in research on stress, emotions, trauma and how the state of the mind influences the body and sought to turn the family's life and health around on her own.
The journey was so hard, demoralising and sometimes a minute by minute challenge to stay alive for her kids and keep moving forward in the search to get her health back. She fought for 4 years for herself and to heal her son.  The emotional agony and mental toll of the struggle to care for her children with a chronic condition was overwhelming.  

​However, ultimately Kristy's belief and the strength of love for her children brought healing and continual improvement.  Over the years, she and her son steadily became better and better.  A diagnosis of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, a hereditary connective tissue disorder was finally given.  Whilst the diagnosis brought both tears and the relief of knowing she was not crazy, by then, the family's healing was well underway and has continued in an upward trajectory ever since. 
Through her healing journey Kristy developed an unwaivering belief that somewhere inside every person is the answers to their healing.  Her belief is backed by 20+ years of scientific research and empirical evidence in the mind and energy medicine sciences, and best-practice methods from her repertoire of qualifications. 

Her approach to health is one of 'whole-person'  and 'person-centred' assessments, complementary diagnostics and treatments from western and eastern medicines, quantum physics, energy medicine and other traditional and ancient philosophies and sciences.

With the three 'E' keys plus persistence, awareness, a loving and supportive support team, and a mindset of continual personal growth, Kristy believes everyone has the potential to heal from the anguish of persistent ill health, and to rediscover their authentic self, true freedom and a rock solid foundation of joy and peace with which to live their life.

It is our hope that you consider us your go-to-hub for sound and safe advice, empowering and engaging health and healing programs, and vital information on how to live the best version of yourself, heal from the ravages of chronic illness and create lifestyle sustainability.
