I’m Catherine Powell, founder of Ripple Tide Health. A Virginia native and College of Charleston alum, I’ve always felt most at home near the water. After many years in Seattle starting my family and exploring the Pacific Northwest, I’m now back in Charleston, SC, soaking up the sun and sea with my husband, our three kids, and our big ol’ Bernedoodle, Otis.

My education spans Cellular Healing, Ayurveda, Bioregulatory Medicine, Traditional Chinese Herbalism, Traditional Naturopathy, Eastern Philosophy, Orthomolecular Medicine, and Functional Medicine. I specialize in cell membrane health, circadian biology, and photobiomodulation.

As a Certified Integrative Health Practitioner, my mission is to empower people with a deeper understanding of environmental toxins, the power of sunlight, cellular health, and the body’s innate capacity to heal. I believe a diagnosis does not define you—and that the body is always working toward balance and healing.

I launched Ripple Tide Health in 2023 after a lifelong journey with illness that led me to question the conventional (symptom suppression) approach to health. I found myself wanting to understand not just how to manage dis-ease, but what truly helps the body thrive and heal from the inside out.

Whether you’re navigating a diagnosis, struggling with weight, wanting to feel your best, looking to reduce your toxic load, or simply wanting to be more proactive about your health, Ripple Tide Health is here to support you.

I believe your diagnosis does not define you, and that small, intentional choices can create meaningful change. Through personalized education, functional health testing, and ongoing support, I help you better understand your body, identify potential roadblocks to wellness, and take an active role in your health.

You are worth the investment. Let’s make small choices that lead to big changes.
