When I am not giving massages I can be found raising my four kids, seven chickens, and one cat, all while I successfully kill the plants in my garden. I have a very old hobby in playing cello, and a newer one in sprint triathlons.

Excellent care. Very customized to my unique needs. Rachel took great care to listen, discuss my issues and needs in a way I could easily understand, and gave me tools to manage my pain for a more sustainable approach to solve my pain problem. Highly recommend her!!

Rachael seems very knowledgeable about different issues going on with the body. You tell her what is going on and the problem area and she knows how to target that area. I feel better when I walk out of there!

Rachel is exceptionally skilled. She asks if there is a specific area for her to focus on and she addresses it. She is the best massage therapist I've ever had.

Rachel is absolutely amazing, her expertise is like no other. Rachel performed an amazing therapeutic massage that helped repair muscle tissue that helped me restore strength back in the muscle again. Thank you Rachel

If you are serious about controlling pain and balancing the wellness in your body, I guarantee, Rachel will be instrumental in putting together a plan for you to work for healing. Her mastery of the body and its internal connectedness is not a day at the spa. Her knowledge is vast and she knows how to apply it. I was amazed at our first session, about one year ago. I was astounded at our most recent session…about our 40th. And I am sure to be astounded in the future. There are hundreds of massage therapists to go to, who will do their best to give you a warm, comfy visit. The difference? Rachel is a healer and wants you to be well.

Rachel was great in helping me with a work related injury. She was very knowledgeable and skilled. Will continue to work with her even beyond healing from my current situation.
