This too shall pass

Massage has become a passion for me that I never realized was there.  Having worked in the mental health field for 10 years, I have always been mystified in how the body and mind work both with and against each other.  I decided to take a break from mental health in 2015 and began studying at The Bodhi Tree Center for Healing Arts in Carson City, NV.  I graduated in 2017 from the 600 hour training, focusing on therapeutic massage techniques and energetic modalities such as Reiki.

Massage has become a passion for me that I never realized was there.  Having worked in the mental health field for 10 years, I have always been mystified in how the body and mind work both with and against each other.  I decided to take a break from mental health in 2015 and began studying at The Bodhi Tree Center for Healing Arts in Carson City, NV.  I graduated in 2017 from the 600 hour training, focusing on therapeutic massage techniques and energetic modalities such as Reiki. In 2020 I received my Reiki Master's Certificate. Since practicing massage and Reiki, it has become so clear how the body and mind are so intertwined.  

 

My specialty is balancing the body through relaxing the muscles and nervous system, creating a mind/body balance that often gets unraveled due to high stress and little down time.  Whether the imbalance stems from high work stress and burnout, family and relationship conflict, mental health concerns or life in general, balancing is essential to refilling an empty cup and resetting to conquer the world.

Pain itself is stressful and the massages you receive will be tailored to your needs and pain level.  Each client is briefly interviewed before sessions to assess pain complaints and get an overview of what life is throwing at you, if you choose to share.  The goal each session is to leave you feeling refreshed and in less pain or discomfort than when you arrived. Therapeutic massage is offered to pinpoint areas of pain & discomfort by use of deep tissue and sports style massage modalities.  Balancing massage is available to those who need to relax and balance out their minds and energy.  If you are uncomfortable with touch or getting undressed (or are just interested in energy balancing), Reiki is available to renew and align your energy centers which aids in physical and emotional self healing.

 

I decided to open my own practice in order to give my clients the attention and focus they deserve without shortcuts. I would love to get to know you and hear your story, though we can keep it short and sweet as well, if that is what you prefer.  

 

I look forward to healing with you

Reiki

Use of universal Reiki energy to allow new energy to move out old, stagnant energy that no longer serves you. Reiki allows new energy to flow and allow healing, relaxation and balance better take place in the body and psyche.

Cupping Methods

Cupping used as a tool for deep tissue techniques. Silicone cups are used to either glide over and soften fascia or left in place (static) as a means to unwind trigger points and adhesions (knots).

Therapeutic Massage

Use of specialized techniques designed to relax and rehab old injuries or chronic pain. From, torticolis (stiff neck), frozen shoulder, low back pain, sciatica, to plantar fasciitis and much more, therapeutic massage addresses non surgical methods of relieving pain. Massage therapists are not doctors and cannot assess the body as a medical professional. It is important to receive proper diagnosis to make sure therapeutic massage is right for your body.

REVIEWS for my Bodywork services

by Vanessa on Mar 27
I've been seeing Rachel for over a year and a half, and I can confidently say she has magic hands! From the moment I enter her serene space, I feel welcomed and at ease. Rachel's intuitive touch and deep understanding of the body's needs truly set her apart. Throughout the session, she expertly tailors her techniques to address my specific tension areas, seamlessly blending relaxation and therapeutic elements. Each stroke feels like a wave of relief washing over me, alleviating stress and muscle tightness. Rachel's warm demeanor and professionalism make the experience even more enjoyable. She takes the time to listen to my concerns and crafts a personalized approach that leaves me feeling rejuvenated and refreshed. If you're looking for someone who can work wonders with their hands, I highly recommend booking a session with Rachel. You won't regret it!

I’ve been seeing Rachel for years, and I truly can’t recommend her enough. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the human body and always seems to understand exactly what my body needs. Her expertise is obvious in the way she works. Every session feels thoughtful, intentional, and tailored specifically to me. One of the things I appreciate most is how intuitive she is. If I’m in the mood to chat, we always have wonderful, engaging conversations. And if I come in needing quiet and relaxation, she seamlessly shifts her focus and creates a calm, peaceful space where I can fully unwind. She really listens! Beyond her skill, she is one of the kindest and most caring people I know. I always leave feeling better physically and emotionally. I’m so grateful to have found her and wouldn’t trust anyone else with my care.

Kinetic Karma in Reno, NV is an absolute gem, and Rachel is truly one of the best massage therapists I’ve ever worked with. She is an intuitive, highly skilled licensed massage therapist who customizes each session around your specific pain points, history, and wellness goals, blending therapeutic and relaxation techniques to leave you feeling lighter, looser, and deeply relaxed. Her space is calm, welcoming, and conveniently located, and she offers not only targeted bodywork for issues like muscle tightness and chronic pain, but also energy-focused services such as Reiki and chakra balancing that help reset your nervous system and bring your whole body back into balance. Every visit feels personal and intentional, and I always walk out with noticeably less tension and a clearer mind. If you’re searching for truly effective, professional massage and energy work in Reno, Rachel at Kinetic Karma should be your first call.
