Hello!
My name is Rachel.
I help heart-centered people reconnect to their bodies and recover their nervous systems so they can reclaim a sense of ease moving forward.
Interconnected.
As a person socialized as a woman in this world, I have experienced countless moments that sought to claim my energy, agency, and body. From a young age, I was taught to abandon my-self and ignore my bodily signals which further created a deep sense of disconnection from my body, my home.
On top of this separation, I’ve also experienced traumatic events that have changed my how I move, feel, and experience life - making connection and ease incredibly challenging to access.
Altogether, these compounding events created a feeling of emptiness and longing to feel whole. I felt broken, and dependent on health care professionals to tell me how I was feeling, what I was experiencing, and how to heal.
It wasn’t until I worked with a practitioner who centered my intuition with a somatic approach that I finally felt seen, fully supported and empowered. I began to feel and experience all parts of my-self in an interconnected way.
This is what I want to share with you.
My aim here is to guide you in the process of reconnecting with your body, tend to lingering wounds unseen, and ultimately support the development of a deeper sense of agency without leaving any part of your experience behind.
My hopes are that you find the changes needed to engage with the world in meaningful and heart centered ways.

What people are saying
“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 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.”
-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.”

Benefits of Body Based Care
-
Traumatic events affect your body’s structure, sensation, feelings, and nervous system.
With somatic practices, you are able to tend to the whole, with the aim of reconnection to self, community, and earth.
-
Manual therapy, even self massage techniques, has been shown to be a fantastic source of holistic pain management to support existing therapies.
-
When you tend to your self with a body based approach you are prioritizing the well-being of your physical form, internal systems, and expression of life through vital movement.
We are all interconnected.
The name Earth Body is a recognition of our physical form that is inextricably linked to the land.
Through my work, I aim to weave in reminders of this beautiful connection.
Reminders that we are not separate from the trees, clay, rivers, and seas.
We share qualities with the skies, airways, and space in between
Even fire is our kin, as we carry its heat within our bodies.
May we not forget.
