Hello!
My name is Rachel.
I help women and gender expansive individuals tend and reconnect to their bodies so they can reclaim a sense of ease within body, mind, and spirit.
Searching for support that fosters a bodily connection?
Throughout my life I’ve experienced many injuries and impact traumas that just kept overlapping without much resolve, even after years of physical and mental health care.
It wasn’t until I worked with a practitioner who centered a somatic approach that I started seeing changes in my-self.
My aim here is to help you in your healing process, provide guidance in reconnecting with your body, and ultimately support the development of a deeper sense of agency without leaving any part of your experience behind.
In this work, all of who you are is welcome.

What people are saying
“I absolutely recommend Rachel. I've visited them as a client after lots of searching for someone that checked a bunch of boxes for me, including queer affirming, size affirming, trauma informed, and knowledgeable about massage and also body movement. Rachel is so calm and kind and creates a safe space that feels like anything the client needs is perfectly fine. It's the kind of space and vibe I hope I give off as a therapist with my clients. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone, including folks with trauma. They give all the options, including guided self-massage, and create a really safe container. We're super fortunate to have them in the area and I hope I'll still be able to get an appointment when their schedule fills up.”

“The best massage I’ve ever had in my life, it was amazing. I carry a lot of stress, anxiety, and physical pain in my shoulders from an injury. I was in a pretty bad car accident, that did some bad things to my spine. We are almost two weeks out of my massage and my shoulders are still not back to where they normally would be, they are still lowered. I highly recommend visiting Rachel.”
