ABOUT RACHEL
A little background…
Rachel is British born and graduated with a First-Class Hons in Design from UWE Bristol. On completing her studies she moved to London to work for Product design brand Tom Dixon. After 9 years working in the product/interior design industry she decided to have a change in career.
Bodywork helped Rachel overcome chronic lower back and hip pain, alongside her daily practice of yoga. She learnt through her felt experience how the combination of manual therapy, movement and education can help alleviate & manage pain.
During her time in London Rachel found her movement, breathwork and mediation practice through yoga, which became her daily discipline and organically led to bodywork and massage therapy.
Rachel’s approach…
Rachel is a Clinical Remedial Massage Therapist with a decade of experience. Spending five years (2020–2025) working with the Central Pulse netball team provided her with an advanced understanding of musculoskeletal injuries.
Rachel’s practice is client-led and utilizes the Biopsychosocial model, respecting her clients' unique insights while considering the biological, psychological, and social components of their health journey.
She holds a specialized interest in pain and stress management, musculoskeletal injuries, pre- and post-surgery recovery, C-section release, scar tissue, and Women’s Health.
Driven by an evidence-based approach, Rachel regularly attends sports medicine talks and maintains strong connections with a network of health professionals to ensure her practice remains at the forefront of clinical care. Having seen firsthand how the integration of touch, breathing, and movement therapy can profoundly enhance performance, recovery, and overall well-being, she aims to create a nurturing space. Her goal is to support fluid movement, help individuals move with greater ease, and encourage body-positive awareness.
