Hello!

Welcome to Earth Body Somatics.

I’m Rachel, and I help healers, helpers, and healthcare workers re-connect with their long lost inner parts affected by trauma (and the world we live in), so they can feel a sense of belonging in their purpose.

Through practices rooted in Somatic Experiencing methods we work at the pace of your nervous system which invites deep transformation one manageable shift at a time, so you can feel the subtle re-integration of the whole self you recognize and bring that attunement into your care settings to better serve your community.

Caring for people while also searching for personal trauma resolution can feel like a whirlwind.

maybe you’ve tried all the coping skills and self-regulation techniques out there, only to be left hitting a “healing ceiling” with just as much anxiety as before (if not more), which leaves you continuing to feel unsettled in the care settings you work within
or you’re just not convinced finding ease in your work is attainable in the world we live in and skeptical of any method that says otherwise (fair)
it’s also possible that you’ve been overanalyzing your challenges as a practitioner inside and out - including activating care-based events, which has left you feeling like you aren’t good at what you do and looking for alternative career paths in your downtime

This path can leave us feeling incredibly disoriented.

I get it.

I also searched for answers that would lead me back to my most vital self as a health and wellness provider, but it all felt like I was covering my suffering with a weighted blanket instead of connecting to my experience.

I felt behind, like I should be healed already!

I took classes, got certifications, and read all the books on healing trauma so that I could help both myself and the people I served.

I knew I had limiting beliefs, but I found no direction in removing them, let alone reprieve from the constant spinning around my story.

I also didn’t want yet another provider or coach to tell me *their way. Ultimately, I needed someone who could lead me to MY own way.

Y’all, when it comes down to it, I don’t think we’re JUST helpers.

We are courageous, heart-centered beings who can make big changes in this world, and I fully believe in our ability to move mountains (at a sustainable pace, of course) if we could only find the proper guidance back to our truest path.

We deserve to feel a sense of belonging in our field and ease in our purpose; in fact, I believe this is critical to the work we do.

My approach here is to help you slow down enough to recognize and realign with the wisdom you’ve carried in your back pocket all along. I aim to reflect all of your unique magic back to you so that you can remember how invaluable your care is in this world and return to showing up exactly as you are.

Now more than ever, we need deeply resourced healers that defy the mold, and that 100% includes you.

"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.
“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.
“They take time to really listen and hear what I’m feeling and needing. 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. I always leave feeling stress relief and relaxation of any muscles that were tight or holding. I can’t recommend Rachel enough!”

Carrie B.
"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 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 innate ability to be present and help you become more present as well. They took the time to help me really assess where I was and what I needed, and then they provided exactly that. I wish I could give six stars for real for real"

Liz F.
"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 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’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!"
