Rachel is a graduate of the 2200hr Massage Therapy Program at Mount Royal University and a double certified yoga instructor with a passion for enhancing athletic performance, injury prevention and education. Since graduating, she has obtained certifications in Evidence Informed Clinical Cupping, FMT Advanced Kinesiology Taping, FMT Blades Advanced Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization and Percussive Therapy.
As a young athlete she grew up riding horses and competing in 3-day eventing, dressage and show jumping all over Ontario and Alberta. Her 10+ year riding career has helped her specialize in working with equestrian athletes using her knowledge to translate issues in the saddle into solutions on and off the table.
To achieve a whole human and client focused approach by employing the biopsychosocial model, she strives to create a collaborative environment with athletes and clients to develop a therapeutic massage treatment plan to optimize performance, recovery, and injury prevention. She also specializes in working with clients who have Hypermobility Syndrome and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.
She has learned that helping her clients reach their goals is one of the most rewarding parts of the job. Both on and off the table, she believes in empowering clients through honest communication, education, and movement.
Outside of the treatment room she can be found going to the gym, hiking in the warmer months, visiting her senior horse, reading, cooking, continuing her passion for learning, following her latest hyperfixation and spending time with friends and family.
