Sweetly Embracing Life

I sweetly embrace life and use my experiences to fuel my journey to self actualization. I was born in the island of Jamaica.  However, I am no longer the little girl that left Jamaica; but has grown into a self assured woman who was blessed to return to my island home and in doing so realized that leaving Jamaica never meant that Jamaica left me.

I sweetly embrace life and use my experiences to fuel my journey to self actualization. I was born in the island of Jamaica.  However, I am no longer the little girl that left Jamaica; but has grown into a self assured woman who was blessed to return to my island home and in doing so realized that leaving Jamaica never meant that Jamaica left me. 


Identifying strongly with my Jamaican culture has been the key to unlocking the layered complexities and dimensions of myself. This journey has lead to the revealing of my passion for massage and the healing arts. A woman fit with the endurance of being a community healer and boss lady. 


A lover of the arts, wellness, women's and youth empowerment, I use my passion to mentor, coach, guide and teach those with whom I come in contact.  My love of writing and and the benefits of sharing deeply with others has drawn me to the opportunity to support the production of Listen to Your Mother.  Along this journey I have continued to creatively support members of our organizations, members of our families and members of our Rochester community.


We often wade through and sometimes have sat too long with who we are not before getting to who we are.  There we find our purpose and our true work. There we find our connection to the whole. I continue to stride forward, filled with a healthy dose of fear and a perpetual feeling of courage. A business owner and visionary, a team member, a mother, a wife, a teacher, and a lifelong student.  Thank you for meeting me l at this point of my journey.

REVIEWS for my massage services

Raquel does an amazing job with her practice every time and the energy in her space is absolutely incredible. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to have a beautiful experience.

Lymphatic massage had been recommended to me by several people over the past year. I finally decided to look into it and came across Raquel Wellness in my search. Having no basis for anything, I booked a basic message with one add-on. I had no expectations but thought it couldn't hurt after having surgery a few months ago. Oh. My. God. I was not prepared for the awesomeness that was about to come. The message, itself, was very relaxing and super enjoyable, (the space is amazing- sounds, smells) but the results blew me away! Pain that I had in my abdomen since surgery was gone. Intestinal issues I've dealt with forEVER were no longer a bother. I'm not saying that Raquel is a miracle worker, but I kind of am. I'm so looking forward to me next appointment to address the scar tissue left from the surgery.

Raquel is unique and very skilled. She is very attentive to the customer's needs and continously demonstrates that at each of my sessions. I appreciate her depth of knowledge and dedication to her craft. I always leave feeling restored and at peace. I have already begun referring several close friends and family members who I know can appreciate such a wonderful experience and service.
