She graduated from Algonquin College in Ottawa with an advanced diploma of massage therapy and has worked in various treatment settings since, including clinics and mobile services in business, home, and gym locations. Rachel takes an objective approach to care and will work with you to achieve your goals. Her treatments focus on discovering and addressing the root cause of client’s pain through interview, assessment, and hands on treatment. Her preferred treatment style is deep tissue; using slow pace and specific techniques to engage with the deep muscle layers to achieve the desired outcome: decreased trigger point activity, increased range of motion, decreased pain, etc. She focuses her practice on partnering with clients who are seeking relief from soft tissue orthopedic conditions affecting their active lifestyle. As an athlete and outdoor enthusiast, Rachel is passionate about strength, movement, and mobility, and is motivated to support her clients in their physical pursuits or their return to activity using her technical skills and experience. She is thrilled to bring her practice to Victoria and is looking forward to exploring the natural beauty of the Island.
