Rachel puts the “therapy” into massage therapy. She is very knowledgeable in how the cervical spine affects the jaw and how to release a pinched nerve. She knows how to treat lower back pain without making you cringe in pain. She is also a pro at relaxation techniques; she has mastered the deep-tissue massage combined with nurturing strokes . She attended NHI in Emeryville and has taken loads of additional body courses to help supplement her daily practice.
