Hello!

My name is Rachel (they/she).

I work with helpers, healers, and health care professionals who are tired of searching for adequate solutions to their own trauma healing.

I help them uncover answers and identify their own path so they can feel a sense stability and ease.

I do this work so that my fellow service oriented peers can reach towards the big changes they want to make in their own life and community!

I’m gonna guess you’re tired of trekking through the wilderness of wellness.

  • maybe you’ve have tried all the coping skills and self regulation techniques out there, only to be left hitting a “healing ceiling”

  • or you provide exceptional techniques to the people you care for, but still haven’t found something that works for you

  • it’s also possible you’ve talked (and talked) many times about the details of your timeline - including traumatic memories, which has left you exhausted and unwilling to start over, yet again

  • there’s also a good chance you think this healing thing should be a no-brainer, because you already know so much about what we as humans need to thrive, but still really want for someone else to provide the “correct” directions

I’ve been on that path, and it is a whirlwind.

As a heart centered helper myself, I went through those same struggles. I couldn’t find direction or answers for healing my trauma no matter what I tried (though looking back, I wasn’t really following through on practices that I knew could transform my experience, because that was the road less traveled and I was tired).

I also didn’t want yet another provider or coach to tell me *their way, but kept investing in new methods anyway. Ultimately, I needed someone who could lead me to MY way.

Listen, I don’t think we’re JUST service oriented people.

I know we are deep feelers who can make big changes in this world, and I wholeheartedly believe in our ability to move mountains (at a sustainable pace, of course).

My approach here is to help you slow down enough to recognize and align with the wisdom you’ve carried in your back pocket all along. I aim to support you at this point in your life, so you can grow in the direction you’ve been reaching for and make the changes you desire.

  • "I absolutely recommend Rachel. I've visited them as a client after lots of searching for someone that checked a bunch of boxes for me, including queer affirming, size affirming, trauma informed, and knowledgeable about massage and also body movement. Rachel is so calm and kind and creates a safe space that feels like anything the client needs is perfectly fine. It's the kind of space and vibe I hope I give off as a therapist with my clients. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone, including folks with trauma. They give all the options, including guided self-massage, and create a really safe container. We're super fortunate to have them in the area and I hope I'll still be able to get an appointment when their schedule fills up."

    Melissa A.

  • “The best massage I’ve ever had in my life, it was amazing. I carry a lot of stress, anxiety, and physical pain in my shoulders from an injury. I was in a pretty bad car accident, that did some bad things to my spine. We are almost two weeks out of my massage and my shoulders are still not back to where they normally would be, they are still lowered. I highly recommend visiting Rachel.”

    Lindsay F.

  • “Rachel is sensitive, intuitive, informative and comforting. She offered movement that I could carry with me outside of our session to continue to support my body. I’m so thankful that healers like this exist and grateful to have been the recipient of her care.”

    Brea Y.

  • “Not only did the massage and cupping immediately release a lot of the tension that was contributing to the numbness in my neck, shoulders, and back; Rachel also gave me some insight into what I can do on my own to relieve tension and decrease numbness.”

    Private Client

  • “Rachel is an amazing massage therapist. The time they take to really listen and hear what I’m feeling and needing helps to create a safe and comfortable environment where I can really relax and receive the benefits of the massage therapy. As a trauma survivor I’m very particular about who I work with and Rachel is one of my top choices because of how safe they make the experience. Rachel’s massage therapy technique is effective at helping to relieve discomfort while still feeling very relaxing. I always leave feeling stress relief and relaxation of any muscles that were tight or holding. I can’t recommend Rachel enough!”

    Carrie B.

  • “Not only was Rachel attentive to my individual needs, but she created the most calm and meditative space for my services. I felt deeply relaxed, not only in body, but in mind upon leaving my appointment. Today is the day after my massage, and I’m already experiencing great relief in my back pain! Thank you Rachel!”

    Bridget S.

  • “I had an incredibly healing massage with Rachel, and plan on returning as often as possible. Rachel takes a gentle approach and makes their clients feel comfortable and safe, as well as working through painful knots and areas of tension.”

    Rosie F.

  • "I’ve been seeing Rachel for classes and individual sessions for the last year or so. Rachel creates a welcoming atmosphere that encourages self exploration. They use gentle guidance, humor, and approachable explanations of the body’s mechanics to help clients feel more at home in their own bodies. Their approach integrates multiple modalities and skillsets, with a focus on myofascial work – the tissues that connect all systems in the body – and a flexibility that can accommodate a client’s changing needs."

    Kay L.

  • "Rachel is a calming, intuitive, & embodied practitioner who offers a variety of highly skilled options to meet your session goals and physical needs. As a healthcare practitioner who relies upon Earth Body as my go-to for self care, I highly recommend Rachel and Earth Body Somatics and am grateful for their support!"

    K.S.

  • "Rachel is the most thoughtful practitioner I’ve had the experience of working with! It’s refreshing to find someone who integrates movement with body work, and introduces healing practices in this particular way. They are clearly knowledgeable and at the same time they are creative and kind in their work. I honestly couldn’t recommend them more."

    Carly F.

  • "WOW! I felt so nurtured, so seen, and so well cared for. Rachel has an inate ability to be present and help you become more present as well. Their touch was like an embodiment of the most nurturing soil that wraps you up like a little seedling in warm protection. They took the time to help me really assess where I was and what I needed, and then they provided exactly that. The intake session was not rushed through, and they made sure to work on every single thing we talked about during the intake session. Their touch is strong but not pushy, and extremely intuitive. I wish I could give six stars for real for real"

    Liz F.

  • "Fantastic experience - Rachel was considerate, calm (and calming), and practices active consent at every step of the body work process. As a new client, I so appreciated the slow and caring approach to building a relationship, and I had a great massage experience. Highly recommend!"

    Sarah M.

  • "The space itself is calming and beautiful and feels intentionally put together. Rachel's presence is calming and easy, and their work is subtle and intuitive and skilled. I left my appointment feeling easier in both my body and mind."

    Jean J.

  • "I’ve been going to Rachel for a while now, and feel so much relief from my pain after each session. I always feel so supported through our time together, they really know how to create a comforting space. Their work brings me so much ease and I can’t recommend them enough!"

    A.S.

  • "Beautifully restorative experience. Attuned, nurturing, fluid touch and spacious care. Grateful for the intentionality Rachel puts behind every aspect of her practice and loved leaving with a warm cup of local tea in hand. ♥️"

    Chloe H.

  • "Rachel is one of the most supportive and dedicated practitioners I know. Their commitment to the body, slowness, and trauma awareness is inspiring and makes me feel welcome and at home."

    Monica B.

  • "I have been very stressed lately, and this was just what I needed. I felt very safe in the space, and I was given a lot of options for the experience."

    Nikole B.

  • "I’ve had the privilege of working one-on-one with Rachel, and these sessions have always been extremely productive and helpful in understanding the specific mechanics of my own body, identifying and releasing the points where I hold the most tension, and going home with tools and techniques to take care at home until my next visit. Working with Rachel has helped ease my chronic pain and I can’t recommend their work highly enough!"
