About Rachel

Specialty: Relaxing Therapeutic Massage
Other types of massage: Pain Management Massage, Prenatal Massage, Swedish Massage
I’ve always had a passion to help people. It was when I was a physical therapy assistant that I found out that I had a natural touch for massage therapy. While working there I had several patients had tell me that I gave the most effective massage of all the assistants. During that time I realized that massage was not just for relaxation and pampering yourself, but could really help people manage their pain. After moving to Arizona I attended Southwest Institute of Healing Arts, in Tempe, AZ, and focused on their Myotherapy and Myofascial Energetic Massage programs. It has been a very rewarding profession. It is amazing to see how massage can truly help improve someone's day, and life.
One of the things that I love the most about providing massage therapy is being able to help someone feel much better in a short amount of time. My unique style of massage is more clinical/corrective and therapeutic, over spa relaxation style. My goal is to help you get some relief from the pain you have been dealing with, and not leave you in more pain than you started with. The work I do is detailed and thorough, and it can really help reduce pain. I can also do a more general massage to help with general stress and tension.
Many clients have been amazed by the spots I find and areas that I work, and how much it really helps relieve the pain and tension. The pressure I use is medium to firm (not too light and not too heavy), deep enough so your muscles feel it but gentle enough to be relaxing. You will generally feel great after the massage and not be in pain for days. Many clients have commented that I have a natural touch and seem to know the just right pressure and areas that need the work.
The pregnancy massages I give are also therapeutic, as a mom to be needs some relief and not just have oil rubbed on them. Mom and the baby's comfort and well being are very important to me, so nothing is done that would jeopardize that. A mobile prenatal massage is great for a mom to be, no driving and more relaxation.
A client's comfort on my massage table is very important to me. To provide the maximum comfort, I use extra padding on the table (with a waterproof cover over it), and when needed I use an upper body support wedge/pillow (women love this), side extenders (for those that need a little more elbow room), and an end extender (for those over 6 feet tall). I firmly believe the more comfortable you are on the table, the more you can relax, and the more beneficial the massage will be.
I use only top quality products. Jojoba oil (75%) with a little bit of coconut oil (25%) is what I use most of the time, but I also have 100% jojoba oil or 100% coconut oil. The reason I use these two oils is that they absorb into the skin very well and help nourish the skin, and without leaving you feeling all oily. I use minimal amount of oil, so you will not have a coating of oil on your skin at the end of the massage, just nice soft skin.
Several people do like to have a silent massage, and most of the massages I do are done in silence. If a client is talkative when I am setting up and then states they like a quiet massage or stops chatting, then I will as well. However, not everyone likes/wants a silent massage. Contrary to what many people think, some people do like to talk/chat during their massage. For some people it helps them feel more comfortable and able to relax, especially for the first massage. And for some people, those with anxiety, ADD/ADHD or are neurodivergent, sitting in silence for a long period of time is not easy or enjoyable. For those clients, I will chat with them. However, if a client is talkative in the beginning and never makes it clear they want a silent massage or continues to respond or talk, I may not be able to tell, especially with most of my brain focused on the massage. I am neurodiverse and I don't always pick up on cues, or good at picking up on mixed/vague signals. So if there is anything you do not like please respectfully communicate with me. It is your massage and I do want you to enjoy it.
TESTIMONIALS FROM SOME OF RACHEL'S CLIENTS
"Rachel is amazing! She’s been my massage therapist for 15 years at least once a week. She constantly is improving and staying active on the best things to add to her clients massage experience. Highly highly recommend!"
Oos A, Entrepreneur
Phoenix, AZ
"I first called Rachel after throwing out my back. I had massages in the past, but always in a massage studio that I had to travel to. With the back injury I could barely move around the house let alone travel anywhere. So I needed someone who could come to my home.
Rachel was amazing, she came to my house and set everything up. I was in so much pain after I threw out my back that I could barely walk before she started. After she helped me, it was like magic. I was up and walking around within 10 minutes after the massage.
She not only knows how to heal people, she is also an amazing human being and a lot of fun to talk to.
I have had several massages from Rachel since that day. In my experience she is the best massage therapist in the valley. Any nagging pain that I have goes away after her visit because she hits all the right spots.
I highly recommend Rachel. Not only because of how experienced she is. But also because of how easy it is to have someone come to your home and help.
Overall 10 out of 10. Easy decision for me. Call her today."

"Rachael was very professional. I was in town for a baseball tournament so I found her early, the 90 minute massage was just what I needed to keep me playing 6 games in 4 days. She was really attentive to what I needed and really handled some troublesome areas. As long as she is conducting massages and I am going to Arizona I will be using her services."

Texted Rachel about coming to Royal Palms to give my husband a deep tissue massage. She was prompt in returning my text and was on time for the massage. My husband is a massage snob and thought she was great! She was far more affordable than the hotel spa which happened to be closed. Highly recommend her!
Cari S., from Yelp
San Diego, CA
"Rachel has been my Massage Therapist for over 6 years. I have a standing appointment with her in my home every 2 weeks. She's exceptionally skilled and I always say it's like she has radar - knows exactly where to apply pressure and how much. My husband may start using her more regularly also. I've been getting massages for many years and she's the best!"
C.N., from Yelp
Scottsdale, AZ
"I hired Rachel to come to my house to treat several of my friends to a Spa Day at my house. It was a bit of a gamble because none of knew her. Luckily she was excellent, everyone was impressed with her massage and thoroughly enjoyed it... and raved!! She made the event a success, and very easy. She was very easy to work with , and great communicating, which as the hostess kept me focus on planning the event and not stressing out about her not showing up- I have had 3 contractors schedule coming to my house-this week, and not showing up, and not even calling., apparently it happens often. She has traveling and setting up her table down to perfection. Highly recommend hiring her. You will be pleasantly surprised."
Nereyda L., from Yelp (under Yelp's 'not recommended' review)
Scottsdale, AZ
"What an amazing experience! She was very kind, and had an amazing touch! Her massage techniques were wonderful, Rachel massaged places I've never had massaged (my hips and a certain angle on my shoulders), and she used angles and techniques that I've never had before and loved! I recommend her to everyone! She did deep tissue on my shoulders, and light relaxation on my lower back. No matter what massage you're looking for, she will be great at! The pressure was perfect as well! I didn't have to ask ONCE to use more or less pressure, and that has NEVER happened to me during a massage. Look no further, you have found the massage therapist for you!"

Lon R, Project Manager
Chandler, AZ
"I had the fortune of having Rachel over for prenatal massage every 2 weeks of the entire pregnancy with my son. She is phenomenal and so in tune with the pregnant body and what is needed to keep things functioning and feeling optimal during such a stressful time on the body. It lifted my spirits and healed the aches and pains that would settle in between massages from pregnancy! Having her come to my home for it was what made it possible while balancing a hectic work and family life with my other child! I don't feel it is by coincidence that not only was I a much happier and relaxed person during my pregnancy from my prenatal massages, but my son is one of the happiest, most relaxed, and enjoyable little human beings I've ever known still at nearly 2 years old! I believe Rachel's energy and amazing gift for massage most certainly passed on benefits to my unborn son as much if not more than it did for this Momma who was carrying him!"
Shaunna A, Nurse
Gilbert, AZ
"Rachel has provided me with two prenatal massages since I have found out I am pregnant and both have been transformative. When she arrives I am an achey, tense mess. When she leaves I feel like a new woman! She is always on time, professional and available at the drop of a hat. She has provided me with some tips on infant massage I can't wait to use when my baby arrives. I have recommended her to friends and family and they are consistently impressed. I have never had a less than amazing massage from her. I would trust no one else!"
Heather F, Therapist

"I get regular massages, but am unable to drive as I had injuries from an accident. Rachel was able to work around my injuries really well. She's a very professional and skilled massage therapist. I will definitely be calling her again!"
Claudette N, Register Dietitian

"I called Rachel on Christmas Eve, expecting to leave a voicemail for her. She answered very cheerfully and I asked if she was available on Christmas to come to my home for massages. She seemed very happy to accommodate my request and we worked out a time on Christmas Day that she would massage me and my two family members. This may have been a special circumstance for such sort notice AND on a holiday, but Rachel was very nice and professional while setting up the appointment. She arrived right when she said she would. She also helped me keep the massages a surprise to the others by sneaking in with me and setting up her equipment quickly and quietly. She gave all three of us massages that we all enjoyed very much. Rachel is a great communicator and made sure we were happy with our experience from beginning to end. She is very personable. professional, and efficient with what she does. I was actually in a car accident two days prior to seeing Rachel, and her massage helped my neck and upper back feel much better. We will definitely use her again!"
Kellie S, Student

Paula L, Licensed Massage Therapist

"Rachel was awesome! Called on a Sunday with very short notice and she was right on time, professional and friendly. And what a great massage! Rachel was VERY accommodating as I am very modest. She followed directions perfectly. She respected my wishes and didn't make me feel strange though I am sure in her practice my requests were unusual! The massage pressure was perfect and my tension just disappeared. Highly recommended."
Amanda H, Sales

"Rachel has been my massage therapist for the last 6 months providing me with weekly, deep tissue, full body massages. I work as a technical consultant in the software industry and spend most of my time traveling. The acts of carrying luggage through airports, sitting and working on a keyboard, cramped planes and bad beds has made consistent massages a necessity for my physical and mental health and a very high priority for me. As such, I have had the opportunity to engage a multitude of therapist in various locations and can offer a unique and qualified perspective on the quality of services.
Rachel is, without a doubt, the most professional and skilled therapist I have engaged. She possesses tremendous knowledge of the various massage methods and consistently applies varying techniques to address problem areas of the muscles. She also goes the extra mile by constantly updating the tools of the trade to assure the best possible experience.
Whenever I come to Phoenix, my travel arrangements will include a call to Rachel to schedule an appointment and I would strongly recommend her services to anyone whether you require deep tissue or just a relaxing massage."

"Rachel has “hands of gold” and knows where and how to relieve every knot and kink. I highly recommend her therapeutic massages. You won’t be disappointed!"
Loury M, Service Support Specialist
Scottsdale, AZ
"Rachel is a very skilled massage therapist who was referred to by a friend about a year ago, when my regular massage therapist moved away. I have had a lot of massages in my life and I am quick to judge if I like a massage therapist or not, and to keep the good ones. From the first time Rachel worked on me, I felt her hands had a sort of radar like she had been massaging me forever. She knew where all of my trouble spots were, and focused on releasing them without my having to say anything.
She has very strong hands but she also is very sensitive to getting the pressure right. She has her own special blend of techniques combining acupressure and energy work with deep tissue massage which always does it for me. I get two hour massages, half of which I sleep through they are so relaxing.
I am a very happy customer, and can recommend her highly. Just make sure that you don’t miss out on her head and face massage at the end....it's awesome!"
Sheri R, Business Owner
Phoenix, AZ
"I have been getting professional therapeutic massages for over 20 years. I am very particular and want that hour to make a difference. I was blown away by Rachel's work. Not only does she provide the perfect ambiance in the comfort of your own home through aroma therapy and music, she adjusts her work to provide exactly what your muscles need at the time. Her expertise combined with her connection to Spirit makes her massages not only relaxing, but healing as well."
Kristen B, Spiritual Life Coach
Scottsdale, AZ
"My wife and I started using Rachel as a professional in-home therapist about a year ago . I am currently in my second year of Graduate school and Rachel has been there every two weeks to help keep my going. I used to think that massage was a reward or a pampering experience to indulge in. Now, since Rachel has relieved me of my excruciating headaches I realize how important massage is as part of my overall health regime.
I can say that Rachel is the best in the valley. Not only does she know the way your body works she is very attentive to your needs and making the massage experience last well after she leaves your home. I would highly recommend Rachel as someone that can give you a relaxing therapeutic massage in the comfort of your own home. I would not have made it through Grad school with out her! Thanks for the wonderful job you do. I feel better than I have in a long time."
Ray A, College Adviser
Chandler, AZ
"In the spring of 2010 I had a back injury at my job and was on leave for three months. I was limited in my walking, balance and bending. My left leg had no reflex, strength or control because of a pinched nerve in my back. I called Rachel to schedule an appointment. When she arrived we discussed my injury and I told her what the doctors had told me about estimated time for a full recovery. She understood the injury and we discussed possible therapies. As time and her therapy progressed, the flexibility and feeling in my leg returned.
Through Rachel’s massage sessions the tension in the muscles that I had been using to compensate for the loss of strength in other parts of my body was relieved as well. Also the stress of being injured and not able to work was greatly reduced with the encouraging results after every massage. With Rachel’s knowledge, skills and professional attitude towards her massage therapy I would recommend her to my friends, family and co-workers."
Dan R, Maintenance Technician
Scottsdale, AZ
"I appreciate that Rachel works with me to find the right techniques and pressure to meet my needs while still making the massage a serene and relaxing experience. The benefits of her massages extend into my day-to-day wellness because Rachel also helps me to understand what’s going on with my muscles and joints and to identify habits potentially causing aches and knots."
Don A., Insurance Adjuster
Phoenix, AZ
"I've been coming to Rachel since she was in massage school. Rachel is, by far, the best massage therapist I've ever known. She has an uncanny ability to find the spot that needs attention, always leaving me feeling rejuvenated, and refreshed. I would recommend her to all of my friends."
