About Rachel and Rock in the Sun
Hello!
I've been practicing massage for almost 10 years. Before becoming a massage therapist, I was an artist with a back injury. I was in pain almost every moment of every day, and I observed that a lot of people in my life were in pain too. At a certain moment I realized that I needed to help myself, and hopefully others, find a path to a pain-free life. I had a light bulb moment when a voice in my head said "massage." So, I went and got a massage. I'd never had one before. I immediately loved it. I enrolled in massage classes the next day. Practicing massage has guided me on a journey to well-being, and has changed the way I live and move through life. After 20 years I am no longer in constant pain.
Over years of working with people and their bodies I have learned that we are absolutely capable of self-healing. In order for our bodies to heal, we need to listen to the signals (often pain signals) that our bodies are using to communicate. Often our bodies are telling us to "slow down, stop, let go, and be" in order to create the conditions for healing. The name "Rock in the Sun" is a reminder to do just that. I love every moment of this journey. I am unspeakably grateful to be able to support people on their path to well-being. It is an honor.
