Injury Prevention & Rehabilitation
Bodywork Addressing Musculoskeletal Disorders, Biomechanical Dysfunction, Postural Distortion, and Chronic Pain.
How I Can Help You
I love seeing results! A full body massage is great for overall body awareness and relaxation; however, it often only treats the symptoms of something more complex. I believe area-specific, targeted bodywork is the best approach for achieving longer-lasting results. Our session together will be explorative and detail-oriented with the intention of finding the precise source of your discomfort, looking beyond the symptoms.
Comfort is in the results!
My melting pot of modalities includes Deep Tissue Massage, Lymphatic Drainage, Myofascial Release, Pin & Stretch Technique, Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation, and Trigger Point Therapy.
Fun things to look forward to: The newest addition to my "melting pot" is Myofascial Decompression Cup Therapy. I am excited to incorporate this highly effective treatment tool into our sessions. Stay tuned!

Meet Your Therapist
Rachel N. Thurber, NMT, CMT
Hi! My name is Rachel, but my friends call me Rae.
My journey as a healer began at the age of 5 when my mother was in a car accident. Witnessing the aftereffects of her injuries and aiding in her healing process sparked my desire to help others. This experience provided me with a hands-on understanding of the body's musculature and the importance of noninvasive pain management. After twenty-five years of helping family and friends manage their pain and stress, mom suggested I expand my knowledge and develop my practice further. I took her advice, and I truly love what I do!
Thank you, Mom! 🖤
On May 24, 2013, I earned my Diploma from National Holistic Institute, College of Massage Therapy, and was awarded the title:
Advanced Neuromuscular Massage Therapist and Health Educator
I have worked with professional athletes, participated in wellness retreats and corporate employee appreciation events, and provided medical massage in chiropractic clinic environments.
Today, I concentrate specifically on your rehabilitation and injury prevention, dedicating myself to helping you find comfort in your body.
Thank you for allowing me to be part of your wellness journey. I look forward to healing with you!
