My name is Catherine Powell and I am the founder of Ripple Tide Health. I was born and raised in Virginia where I found my love for nature which I believe led me to the College of Charleston (and it’s nearby beaches). After many years exploring Seattle and the Pacific NW, I’ve now settled back in Charleston, SC soaking up the sun and sea with my husband, 3 kids and our big ole bernedoodle named Otis.

As an Integrative Health Practitioner my goal is to spread knowledge around toxins we face, natural healing and give you the power to heal yourself. A diagnosis doesn’t define you and the body wants to heal. I want to help people remove the roadblocks to healing.

I launched Ripple Tide Health in 2023 after a long history of illness and disease that dates back to my childhood. I have dealt with eczema, asthma, leaky gut, allergies, depression, anxiety, neuropathy, systemic inflammation, auto immune diseases like ulcerative colitis and rheumatoid arthritis. I have been in and out of hospitals, specialists’ offices, on 5+ prescriptions at once and still couldn’t get out bed.

Today I can happily say I am free of all prescriptions, have more energy, a clear head and feel positive about my health and future. All this to say, I know what it feels like to not feel your best, to not have the energy to do the work needed to feel better and the frustration that comes with wanting more out of life.

Over 4 decades, I saw countless specialists (some considered “the best”) and all I ever got was a new diagnosis with new prescriptions or a shoulder shrug saying “your labs are fine.” In 2020, I made it my mission to learn all I could about traditional healing methods. These methods include whole body modalities that have been used for centuries without the harsh side effects of pharmaceuticals. This stage was followed by all the supplements. Too many to count. However, it didn’t seem to matter what or how much healthy food or supplements I put in my body. I just kept getting sicker. It wasn’t until I started to detox and remove existing toxins that my body, mind and life changed. My health journey is one that continues and I don’t think will ever end because I see my body as always evolving and improving.

Maybe you’ve been diagnosed with a disease, are overweight or just don’t feel your best. Maybe you feel good but want to learn how to reduce your toxic load or ensure you have a non toxic home. Maybe you’ve stood by watching a loved one’s health journey and want to feel more empowered. And maybe, like me, you are sick and tired of the conventional bandaids our society pushes for health. Regardless of where you are in your health journey, Ripple Tide Health can help you find the root cause of dis-ease and rebalance your body. You are worth the investment! Life goes by fast and the last thing you want to feel is regret that you didn’t take care of yourself. Let me help you make small choices that lead to big changes!
