Rachel is a Licensed Massage Therapist, holds a Bachelors in Communication from the University of Washington and a certificate of Wellness in Clinical Practice through the National Wellness Institute.

Rachel believes that we all have the capacity to live pain-free and active lives. Her goal is to support and guide each client on their unique journey to health and wellness by creating a safe, relaxing space for therapeutic bodywork and by providing wellness and and health education.

She graduated from Ashmead School of Massage in Seattle in 2002 with honors, and after living in Austria for three years, she returned to her massage practice in Federal Way, WA with renewed passion and was voted “Best of 2012” by readers of the Federal Way Mirror.

A firm believer that "you are what you eat," Rachel has spent over four years exploring various diets to manage her own health and food sensitivities such as gluten-, dairy-, and sugar-free. She feels that by providing the best nourishment for her body, she can prevent the onset of diseases such as cancer and arthritus. She hopes to use her personal experience to help others navigate their food options in a way that makes sense to them so they too can meet their health needs and wellness goals.

Rachel brings balance to her life by "getting back to basics." She enjoys cooking with ingredients grown in her garden, experimenting with gluten free baking, and by using regular physical activity as a time to enjoy the beauty of each day with activites like yoga and walking with her dog, Merlin. She has a passion for travel and other cultures and hopes to spend more time filling her passport.
