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.

I always benefit and enjoy my massages with Rachel. She is interested in my health and well-being and offers good suggestions for dealing with my occasional issues. I am glad I found her, on the recommendation of the previous masseuse who moved from this area, and look forward to continuing this relationship.

One of the best massages I’ve had and I’ve had massages all over the world. Rachel asks a lot of questions in her questionnaire and actually reads the answers. Then we talked about my expectations. She incorporated some stretching into my 2 hour massage. I have already booked 3 more sessions because I think I need this!

Rachel is an amazing therapist and she always hears me. She knows what my body needs as she goes and I love how I feel. Thanks Rachel!

I never understood how beneficial massage therapy could be. Really tried it as a last resort after my neighbor recommended it. I felt so comfortable with Rachel from the very beginning. She worked on facia and scar tissue from a hip replacement. What can I say? I can walk now and I continue to see her because I have cervical dystonia. I would highly recommend Rachel. She is very knowledgeable and the whole experience is very calming.
