My name is Rachel Hargrave and I am a certified massage therapist. I understand and appreciate the many ways in which massage can benefit the human body, including the reduction of stress, relief of chronic or acute pain, allowance of pure relaxation, and so much more. The personal relationship between oneself and their body is truly intimate, but occasionally it can be challenging to understand what is actually going on, where the pain is stemming from and why. Finding answers can be a discouraging process, one that I have experienced firsthand with my own chronic pain. After going to many doctors, chiropractors, homeopathic healers, and eventually giving up, I found massage and learned self care techniques I now use on my own to combat my ever decreasing pain. My goal is to allow others to find solace of this kind and assist them in this process. Massage can lift people out of pain and onto a path of recovery, a path of healing, a path of being fully oneself.
