Shiatsu & Oriental Medicine Practitioner
As a Shiatsu and Oriental Medicine Practitioner, Rachel brings over twenty years of experience in clinical practice as a holistic bodyworker. She has developed a unique holistic, “east meets west” medical approach, and her treatments optimise physical, mental and emotional function in the deepest levels and systems of the human body.
From Melbourne, Australia, Rachel began her career in the boutique wellness spa industry, combining the benefits of shiatsu and massage therapy to support detoxification, immunity and anti-aging.
Rachel went on to specialise in pre and post-natal pregnancy massage, visiting mothers in the comfort of their own homes and hospitals and midwifery clinics across Melbourne.
Her focus returned to holistic health care and to extend nutritional and herbal medicine to her clients. Opportunity brought Rachel and Scott together in clinical practice, where they began integrating their work with clients, and the outcomes for these clients were outstanding. They made a powerful and effective team in natural health care. Rachel joined The Body Balance Company as a consultant practitioner and clinic manager for the last eight years.
Rachel’s work is in high demand, and she has worked with a variety of persons affected by chronic and acute ailments, including children with autism, amputees, spinal cord injuries, professional athletes, high-profile actors, and the television industry.
Rachel genuinely desires to help clients heal, transforming lives and leading them towards well-being. She educates her clients on lifestyle and dietary problems and the impact this can have on the mind-body connection and pathways that lead to disease.
