Nice to Meet You
Rachel has worked with para-athletes, and in hockey, volleyball, soccer, basketball, lacrosse and rugby as well as groups like PISE Adaptive and the Prostate Center. Helping people learn how to move their bodies safely is a passion that she has continued to develop through the program. Rachel was active growing up and played a variety of sports ranging from T-ball, basketball, soccer, and volleyball to track and field, horseback riding and Aikido. She currently participates in Dog Agility and other dog sports.
In the process of participating in sport, Rachel became fascinated with how the human body moves, and how all the parts of the body works together to make that happen. This allowed her to experiment with what it means to be healthy and active and the different facets that this can have. She has an interest in using exercise as medicine; to prevent new injuries from occurring and to prevent old injuries from resurfacing.
Moving your body through space with confidence and helping you know you have the capacity to do what you would love throughout your day is a goal Rachel strives to help you meet. Whether you are working to prevent injury or recovery afterwards, Rachel is there to help and support you. She continuously strives to learn more, so that she might be able to better serve and educate her clients when they come to see her.
