I have always wanted to be a writer since I was a kid, but I was told “writers don’t make any money.” I kept writing as a hobby, and I decided to pursue a career in nursing.

I found a love for science and helping people. I became a nurse and have been a nurse for about a decade. Primarily, my nursing experience has been in the home-setting caring for special-needs children and adults.

My experience in nursing combined with my personal health journey dealing with health conditions led me to a path of finding true wellness. I have been combining traditional medicine, holistic medicine and lifestyle medicine into my healing journey. I became passionate about wanting to spread awareness to all about the many options that people have to achieve a better quality of life.

We deserve wellness and a quality of life. We deserve to heal. Your health matters.

I finally decided that I wanted to start my own writing business. I chose the name “Rael” due to a play on words with the word “real” and the first 3 letters of my name. I chose “Thymes” for a play on words with referring to news publications as “the times” and the herb “thyme.” I founded Rael Thymes Health Writing and Poetry LLC in August of 2023.

The second part of my business is writing poetry. I write custom poetry for people for special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, wedding vows, funeral services, Valentine’s Day and more!

I also write poetry and publish my poems on Medium. If you are interested in my poetry, come check out my profile! https://medium.com/@raechel_95216

In 2024, I will be publishing a book that features a collection of my poetry dedicated to those dealing with grief, mental illness and addiction. Mental health matters, and this is a cause that I hold near and dear to my heart. Stay tuned for updates about my upcoming book, Verses with a Voice!

When I am not busy with my business, I enjoy spending time with the ones I love most. I am a proud dog mom to my two dogs Brady and Baxter.

I also love exercising, listening to podcasts, spending time in nature, reading, kayaking, meditating and working on DIY projects.

I hope that you enjoy this blog! Cheers to learning and healing together! ❤️‍🩹
