A gentle, body-based approach to healing trauma, chronic stress, and nervous system overwhelm. These sessions support you to come into relationship with your body at a pace that honours your nervous system, your lived experience, and your innate wisdom.

My work is rooted in Somatic Experiencing®, a science-based approach to trauma healing that supports the nervous system to gently resolve overwhelm and build capacity for regulation and resilience. Rather than retelling stories or pushing for insight, we work with what is present in the moment - tracking sensations, impulses, emotions, and rhythms as they arise.

This approach to relational healing is informed by Somatic Internal Family Systems (IFS), Gestalt psychotherapy, attachment theory, mystical principles and nervous system health. I also draw on presencing practices bringing awareness to collective and ancestral layers of experience, and holding this work within a decolonized, systemic lens that recognizes how social structures, history, and power shape our bodies and lives.

In these times of collective and ecological polycrisis, sessions support both personal healing and a deeper sense of dignity, belonging, and liberation for all.

This service is provided and billed under the scope of Registered Massage Therapy, focusing on the assessment and treatment of soft tissue tension, pain, and nervous system stress.

My approach is somatic-informed, meaning sessions are slow, attuned, and guided by the body’s cues. Touch is therapeutic and collaborative, supporting regulation, resilience, and a greater sense of ease.

I also hold advanced training as a Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner (SEP®). While Somatic Experiencing is not billed as massage therapy, this training informs how I work - with careful pacing, consent, and an understanding of how stress and trauma are held in the body.

This offering may be supportive for women seeking bodywork created especially for those who long for touch that feels safe and deeply nourishing - grounded, respectful, and attuned to the nervous system. Unlike standard massage therapy, this work honours the complex ways trauma shapes our relationship with our bodies. If massage has felt unsettling, unhelpful, or even harmful in the past, this may be for you.

I’m Rachel, a Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner and Registered Massage Therapist specializing in trauma healing, sacred touch, and soul reconnection for women. Through years of working with women’s bodies and stories, I’ve learned that trauma isn’t just a memory; it’s a lived experience in the nervous system. And healing is not about “fixing” yourself. It’s about returning to your body as a loving place. A sacred place.
