Rachel’s path into bodywork has been shaped by both formal training and a genuine love for helping people feel more at ease in their own bodies. She studied at the Ashland Institute of Massage Therapy and the American Bowen Academy, bringing a gentle, “less-is-more” style to every session. Her focus is on helping the nervous system settle so the body can do what it naturally knows how to do—heal.

She uses the Bowen Technique to guide clients into a calmer, more relaxed state, and as a Havening practitioner, she also teaches simple tools people can use at home to find that same sense of calm.

Bowen Technique may be supportive for:

• Nervous system dysregulation and chronic stress
• Headaches and migraines
• TMJ pain and jaw tension
• Neck, shoulder, and back pain
• Sciatica and hip pain
• Fibromyalgia and chronic pain conditions
• Digestive discomfort
• Pelvic floor tension
• Postural imbalance or restricted range of motion
• General tension, overwhelm, or difficulty relaxing

What patients can expect during Bowen Technique sessions:

• Gentle, precise movements over muscles, tendons, and fascia
• A calm, quiet environment with pauses that allow the body to integrate the work
• A light, less-invasive touch that does not involve deep pressure
• A session designed to calm the nervous system and shift the body toward rest-and-digest
• Meaningful changes in tension, pain, and overall sense of ease

When she’s not working with clients, Rachel teaches ESL at a local community college, invests in her own healing, and spends as much time as she can outside enjoying the beauty of the Pacific Northwest.
