PLEASE NOTE - DIRECT BILLING TO INSURERS IS AVAILABLE Rachel is a graduate of the 3,000-hour Registered Massage Therapy program in Nelson, BC. She has gained valuable clinical experience throughout the Kootenays, including time working at the renowned Mountain Trek Health Reset Retreat in Ainsworth, BC. As a practitioner, Rachel is known for her attentive, thoughtful approach to care. She is a highly attuned manual therapist who listens closely to both her clients and their bodies. Her treatments are informed by a strong foundation in anatomy and physiology and may include work with joints, soft tissues and musculature, fascia and connective tissue, as well as the nervous system. Rachel’s goal is to help create a sense of safety in the body, supporting the release of long-held patterns that can contribute to pain and discomfort. Rachel also believes in empowering clients beyond the treatment room. When appropriate, she offers guidance on self-care strategies that support ongoing nervous system regulation, movement awareness, and long-term balance. Rachel’s interest in integrative care is shaped by her own experiences navigating a chronic health condition. Through this journey, she developed a deep appreciation for a broad, holistic view of health and healing. She explored a range of complementary approaches, including Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture, herbal medicine, naturopathic medicine, somatic therapy, and counselling modalities such as Internal Family Systems. These experiences have informed her respectful, whole-person approach to care and her ability to work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary healthcare team. Rachel is passionate about supporting individuals wherever they are on their healing journey and is dedicated to creating a welcoming, inclusive, and non-judgmental therapeutic environment. Outside the clinic, Rachel enjoys music—playing piano and singing—as well as dance. She is always happy to talk about movement and creativity, including contact improvisation.
