I had the pleasure of working with Rachel and it was a magnificent experience. She is a gentle yet powerful force and knows how to work with people, our nervous systems and help us transform and heal at our own pace. I have worked with many somatic practitioners over many years and none compare to Rachel's abilities. You can feel her authenticity and her compassion for the human experience and supporting people through it. Her wisdom created space for my needs (versus many other practitioners where I felt like I had to follow their script), Rachel flowed the session with what I was comfortable with and what I needed at any given moment. She also empowers her clients and helps us find agency in ourselves to create confidence and knowing of self. I'm so grateful I found her and look forward to many more sessions in the future! Bonus, her studio is absolutely stunning!!! Thanks Rachel you are an absolute light!
Rachel is one of the most talented healers I know. She has a powerful blend of gentle yet firm presence that helps people feel safe, seen, open and engaged. She is a wonderful generous human who also possesses huge knowledge on trauma, grief and somatic healing.
As a surgeon, I mainly focus on providing the best care to my patients, which I love. However, I can not deny that this can be stressful and demanding, not to forget the number of times we face intense and traumatic situations together with our patients. I reached out to Rachel when I felt overwhelmed and had lost the connection with myself, my feelings, and my needs. Rachel, step by step taught me to slow down, reconnect back with my body and my emotions. In a beautiful, soft, and safe space where there was no need for ‘stories’ or detailed intellectual analysis, where there are no expectations and just being is enough. Her approach is so soft and attuned that space opens up to look and feel inside myself and bring forward what needs attention. She guided me so that I could trust and feel safe again. The sessions with Rachel are different every time, as we explore together what I need at that moment! Each time, they leave me grounded and centered, teaching me deeper into who I am. Rachel is very sensitive, caring, and creates an amazing, open, grounding, nourishing, and safe space where everything is welcome! She is highly knowledgeable and understands both my personal and professional challenges. I wish every physician had a beautiful place like Rachel’s, where they can slow down, reconnect with themselves, and feel supported. Her sessions make me grow and glow and are extremely valuable.
Meeting and working with Rachel has been the healing I needed. She creates a space that feels truly safe and meets me exactly where I am, always working at a pace that honors what I’m ready for. Her presence is warm and steady, and her somatic approach has helped me feel more connected—to my body, my emotions, and how I move through the world. She’s also created an incredibly calming studio that’s both inviting and grounding—a space that helps you come home to yourself. I deeply value the sense of care and community she cultivates - it’s generous, powerful and genuine. ❤️ Words don’t do her incredible and much needed work justice.
The healing work I did with Rachel was truly transformational—I know because it transformed me! For decades, I relied on psychiatric medication and conventional talk therapy to manage my diagnosed anxiety disorder only for it to never truly work. No matter how much medication I took or talk therapy I engaged in my ability to remain calm and composed in difficult situations remained laboured. But then I was introduced to Rachel and the somatic work she does. With her steady and compassionate guidance, I learned to go deeper, to tune into, nurture, and comfort the parts of myself that desperately needed attention. As a result, my debilitating anxiety no longer defines me. This work demanded a great deal from me - commitment, consistency and dedication - so that I could fully invest in my healing journey. But with Rachel's steady, compassionate, and reassuring support, I was able to finally understand why I struggled to be present when life got difficult. That understanding changed everything. For that, I will always be grateful!
Rachel is a warm, compassionate skilled somatic therapist. Honestly, one of the best massages I have ever experienced. She has settled my nervous system and helped me, over time, expand my window of tolerance. As a woman with a background in trauma, I feel safe and respected in her space and am so thankful she is here as one guide on this healing journey I am on.
My prayer is that you - yes, YOU, the one reading this - get to experience the healing power flowing through Rachel. She heals on a level that our minds and bodies often yearn for, and never truly embody. If you ask me, that’s divine power! True to its name, Embodied Life, is what i can only describe as the Womb: safe, nurturing and full of creative forces. From the minute i stepped into the building and safely landed inside, I felt a sense of calming rebirth. Before the work even began, the nurturing space opens the birth canal for healing to take place :) Embodied Life is an answered prayer to all women who yearn for a nurturing space to heal, calm their nervous system, and deeply reconnect with their bodies. Thank you for who you are, Rachel ????
I worked with Rachel over the course of eight months and in that time, she became my primary support in my nervous system healing journey. Even though I had initially started with somatic touch therapy with her, she stayed flexible as my needs changed and we organically transitioned into her holding space for me as I faced and healed parts of myself. Rachel’s presence is ethereal yet grounded and her studio is a physical representation of her, inviting and warm. Rooted in training, she intuitively guides each session, and she knows how to seamlessly weave in and out of holding silent space for feeling and offering words of support. Rachel holds a witnessing presence, and she gently guides subtle shifts in the safety of the space she holds. With her steady support, I have faced and worked through lifelong patterns. Thank you, Rachel, for your unwavering support, I can’t recommend you and your services enough.
