About Rachel McConnell

Board Certified Pediatrician

Profession: Pediatrics

I provide comprehensive pediatric care with a focus on building long-term relationships with families and supporting children through every stage of development—from infancy through adolescence. My approach combines evidence-based medicine with practical, family-centered guidance to help children grow, thrive, and stay well.

In addition to routine and acute care, I work closely with families navigating challenges related to sleep, attention, behavior, and overall wellness. My approach emphasizes looking beyond surface symptoms to provide clear, practical strategies that support both the child and the family.

I am especially interested in how daily habits, environment, and physiology impact a child’s ability to feel, function, and succeed, and I take a whole-child approach that integrates both traditional care and supportive, non-pharmaceutical strategies when appropriate.

I’m especially passionate about helping families make sense of ongoing challenges when things don’t feel fully resolved—and guiding them toward a clearer path forward.

Ideas for podcast episodes :

  • How sleep, nutrition, and the nervous system shape your child’s daily behavior
  • Moving from reacting to understanding—and what to do instead
  • The After-School Meltdown Explained
  • How to Stay Calm When Your Child Is Not

Questions I'm always ready to answer :

  • Why are they still having tantrums?
  • Why can't they clean their room?
  • Why is sleep so important?
  • THey drink juice and milk, isn't that good enough?
