You’ve been told that health is a number, a look, a diet trend, a pill. But what if wellness is more than that? At Arukah, we’re here to teach you how to care for your whole self—body, mind, and spirit—with tools that actually work.
Arukah: To Heal, Rebuild, Restore –
to bring into wholeness – Body, Soul, Spirit.
Most of us were never taught how to truly take care of ourselves.
We push through pain, ignore burnout, chase fad diets, and treat symptoms instead of root causes. We call it “normal.”
But what if that’s the problem?
We created Arukah as a space to relearn health the way it was meant to be lived: in rhythm with your body, your beliefs, and your biology. Through our workshops, classes, and community, we help you reconnect with what your body, soul, and spirit have been trying to tell you all along.
– Workshops on brain health, trauma, nutrition & hormone shifts
– Women’s weekends to nourish identity, not your to-do list
– Tools like fasting protocols, red light therapy & detox support
– Faith-based support rooted in Biblical wisdom
– A safe space to grow, learn, and heal without judgment
Health is more than metrics. Healing is more than managing symptoms. At Arukah, we teach you how to care for the body, mind, and spirit together—so nothing gets left behind in your pursuit of wholeness. This is where education meets restoration. This is Arukah.
Body
Fuel your healing with nourishing foods, movement, and restorative therapies that support your energy, strength, and overall vitality.
Soul
Strengthen your emotional wellbeing with honest conversations, creative practices, and tools for everyday clarity.
Spirit
Rebuild your spiritual foundation through faith-based guidance, community, and mentorship.
I had a great experience with Rachael Bills at Arukah Ranch. She is trained in the science of Ear Seeding. It is unbelievable that there are pressure points on the ear that correspond to every area of the body. I was seeded for both Stress and Anxiety and I will tell you the results were amazing. I could truly feel a sense of calm and relief come over me pretty much immediately.
I will definitely do this treatment again!
I had such a positive experience with Rachael, the ear seeding practitioner from Arukah Ranch. I frequently have muscle spasms and the ear seeding provided me relief immediately. I am definitely eager to come back and would highly recommend Rachael and this service
My ankle was swollen so bad it was very hard to walk. Rachael told me I should try the ear seeding procedure. I was skeptical at first but let her do it, and right after, she put them on my ear on the special points she used on me, I was so surprised I could see my ankle swelling going down as I was watching. And, just a few minutes later, my ankle felt great. I got up within 5 minutes after she put the Ear seeds on and my ankle swelling was all gone and never came back. I am not completely sure what the seeds do, but this was nothing short of a miracle. I will be doing this for any ache or pain from now on. I still have been doing great, and it has been weeks now. The next time I went to Rachael was for my lower back pain. She seeded my ears in a different place, and within a few hours, my back pain was almost gone. The next day, after a good night’s rest, I felt like a new person. I felt great. It has been a very good experience and I would say, if you have problems (the list is very long as to what this Ear Seeding can help with), I can say it has been very helpful both times for me and you never feel the seeds. Keep up the great work, Rachael.
I was skeptical prior to using BrainTap, but even after one session I noticed a few things.. After my first experience, I felt very calm and relaxed, but not tired or groggy. I could actually feel my energy building after taking the headset off. From there, I started experimenting with different programs from sleep to cognition, and my favorite… breathwork. It’s definitely a program where you get what you put in.. The more you can use it the more pronounced your results will be. However, I noticed a difference in sleep quality (especially falling asleep quickly), calmness and peace, and even more positive/sharper thinking! It’s definitely worth setting aside 20 minutes a couple of times a day, especially right before bed!
I was part of the first Intro to Brain Rewire & Detox Workshop at Arukah Ranch. We were introduced to a variety of modalities while the Beacon40 lights were running in the background (which were introduced and explained). I cannot believe that I slept for 9 hours straight that night which has been an extremely long time to not have a sleepless night. The only thing that was different that day was my exposure to this form of light therapy. Amazing!
Rachael from Arukah Ranch’s ear seeding treatment effectively relieved my muscle spasms. Highly recommended professional service with immediate results.

I had such a wonderful experience with Rachael Bills at Arukah Ranch. She is trained in the science of Ear Seeding, and I was amazed to learn that points on the ear connect to different areas of the body. I was seeded for stress and anxiety and felt calm and relieved almost immediately. I will absolutely return for this treatment and highly recommend it.

Ear seeding with Rachael at Arukah Ranch worked miracles for my ankle swelling and later my back pain. Within minutes, inflammation reduced and pain disappeared. Completely non-invasive and surprisingly effective. Highly recommend trying this treatment.
DE
BrainTap exceeded my skepticism. One session brought unexpected calm, energy, and mental clarity. Different programs improved my sleep, focus, and overall well-being. Highly recommend dedicating 20 minutes daily, especially before bed!

Arukah Ranch’s Brain Rewire & Detox Workshop was transformative. Beacon40 light therapy helped me sleep soundly for 9 hours – the first uninterrupted night in ages. Truly remarkable experience!

With 30+ years of experience as a practicing out-patient counselor and therapist, she claims that nearly every person struggling with substance abuse is masking hidden pain, false beliefs and trauma, adding, “Recovery centers are masterful at teaching people to avoid their drug of choice or compulsive behavior. Instead, we find people replacing their substance abuse problems with switching addictions or doing more of what they are already doing, such as gambling, cigarettes, sex, food. Removing the addictive substance or behavior is only the first step. We need to treat the whole person.”
