Rachel became interested in Massage Therapy at a young age when she was a high level swimmer and started experiencing back problems. Over the years, the sports and activities changed, and the aches and pains did too. Using pain as her teacher, she developed a deep connection with her body and was inspired to understand how it functioned at a more academic level. This led her to the West Coast College of Massage Therapy where she graduated with honours in 2010 from the 3000 hr RMT program.
Rachel believes that healing the body takes special care and awareness from both the therapist and the client. She enjoys working with her clients to uncover the root cause(s) of their discomfort, listening to their stories and experiences, as well as gathering information through an ongoing assessment of the body. She combines this with her deep knowledge of anatomy to uncover restrictive patterns in the
tissues preventing proper function of the body. It is her goal and her joy to see her clients enjoying life, without limitations due to dysfunction and/or pain.
Since graduation, Rachel has been most interested in fascial techniques and the mind-body connection. Your treatment may involve lighter fascial techniques to improve hydration and function of all tissues in the body, and firmer applications of myofascial release. She is passionate about learning new tools and keeping current with therapeutic techniques. In order to enhance the healing process, she frequently engages the client through the use of active relaxation techniques, such as guided imagery and breathing techniques. She has had success with treating various conditions including: Chronic pain, nerve pain, postural imbalances, jaw pain, whiplash, sports injuries, motor vehicle injuries, tendonitis, and scars.
When Rachel is not working, she is spending time with her family, working in the veggie garden, playing tennis or kickboxing, and cooking up a storm.
