Rachel was methodical with her approach from the beginning, and I appreciated that. First, she gathered information via an intake for and also by discussing those issues with me one on one. I've had massages at other places where they don't bother to get any information from you at all and to me that's an indication of a lack of concern about your needs. Rachel took the time to discuss my needs initially so there were no surprises once the massage started, then also to discuss progress after each session. That approach makes sense, it displays professionalism, concern, and competence. Additionally, when I first went to Rachel for a massage, I was doing so for issues I didn't think could necessarily be addressed by massage. I felt the massage might provide a degree of comfort but I didn't really have any high expectations of a permanent resolution. I had three massage sessions from Rachel and that sorted my issues right out.

The only thing that has ever brought instant relief is dry needling. But even that left me sore and recovering. My body work from Rachel was only relief. And a lot of it. I was able to get enough of a lower-pain baseline to realize what makes my pain worse and work to correct that to help myself. I will be back. And I will continue to recommend Rachel to anyone suffering from pain. I’m very grateful...
Read moreTo say that this was a nearly spiritual experience would be selling it short. Rachel is incredible at what she does. From the moment you set foot in the building you feel a sense of comfort and security that a lot of other places don't have. Rachel asked every question geared towards making sure my experience was exactly what I wanted, and then she delivered on that experience. This is the first time in YEARS, that I have felt relief from my tense shoulders. Even after the session was over she offered suggestions for a couple of stretches that could help me maintain more relaxed shoulders. Rachel is amazing, and I will be returning here as...
