Rachel is a recent graduate of the 2024, 3000-hour Registered Massage Therapy program in Nelson, BC. She is known by her clients for her ability to help down-regulate the nervous system in order for deep, targeted massage to be as effective as possible. She believes that a safe, relaxed nervous system is more responsive to tissue manipulation and releasing chronic tension patterns. You can expect an environment of intuitive healing touch and collaborative body work; if you have desires in terms of pressure, location, and intentions, let Rachel know! A bit about Rachel: She has a plethora of experience in the massage industry, including almost 500-hours of supervised clinic experience. She also had the pleasure of offering massage at the world-renowned Mountain Trek Resort in Ainsworth, BC for the spring and summer season of 2024. As well, Rachel received her Yoga Teaching Certification in the fall of 2021. All of these environments allowed her skills as a manual therapist, health practitioner, and space holder to expand greatly. They also allowed her to interact with a wide variety of individuals in the health industry, and to understand what “holistic health” really means (hint: it’s a little bit different for everyone). Rachel is a big advocate of person-centred care. This means working together with a client in regards to their goals- something that encourages the practice of clear communication, educated encouragement, and top-quality, knowledgable care. Rachel’s clients can feel like they she is on their team, and has their best interests in mind. Her natural skills as a space holder, cheerleader, and listener meet her crafted skills in the realm of manual therapy with great ease. She aims to create a safe, grounded, and inclusive environment in which individualized, experienced care can be received. Rachel is dedicated to honouring each individual just as they are. All of you is welcome! Rachel is a very inspired student, and is looking forward to continuing to expand her knowledge of manual therapy and wellness through a holistic lens.
