About Me
Rachel is a certified CranioSacral therapist and a licensed massage therapist in addition to her skillsets in athletic training, exercise science, psychology, anatomy, biology, and physiology that she acquired through courses taken during high school and subsequently while attending Brigham Young University. She utilizes the most effective tools from all aspects of her professional foundation in order to facilitate uniquely tailored therapy sessions based on the wellness goals of each client.
Rachel's CranioSacral Therapy knowledge comes from her formal coursework as well as her 17 years of real world experience in both giving and receiving CranioSacral Therapy. Receiving CranioSacral Therapy helped Rachel to heal from fibromyalgia, trauma, sports injuries, and a variety of other physical ailments. Rachel is affiliated with Upledger Institute where she pursues advanced coursework and serves as a teaching assistant.
Rachel graduated from Cortiva Institute where she received training in 12 massage modalities. While Rachel appreciates massage, CranioSacral Therapy has her heart.
Rachel runs her full-time private practice, Auburn Leaf Bodywork, where she provides craniosacral therapy and injury rehab therapy for clients of all ages and for all types of conditions. She provides CranioSacral Therapy at her private practice as well as at events such as healing retreats, athletic events or during a client's child birthing process. Rachel's non private practice work includes two years at a chiropractic office specializing in auto accident recovery, and time spent as a CranioSacral and massage therapist at a healing spa.
When Rachel isn’t participating in body work she can be found parenting her four kids, visiting with friends and family, enjoying a live event or relishing in precious alone time. A perfect day to Rachel might include eating organic chocolate poolside while reading non-fiction or listening to her favorite music and laughing with loved ones.
