Hello! My name is Rachael.

I’m here to help you cultivate and maintain an integrated, holistic connection to your body through massage therapy.

My background as a Yoga teacher for over 10 years has served as the roots of my enquiry into the various modalities of healing.  My training in Soma Chi Vinyasa, Yin Yoga, Yoga Nidra, Restorative Yoga and Trauma Informed practice informs my treatments and ongoing support for recovery from injury, trauma or simply body-mind disconnection in a busy world.  

I have always been fascinated by the healing arts and the ways in which we create connection between consciousness and the body. I completed my master’s in museum studies in 2021, with a thesis focused on Cultural Heritage, Eco-Sociology, and Anthropological Practice. Since then, I have embraced a more hands-on approach to these studies, using my passion for bodywork to explore the roots of the healing arts and share this knowledge with my community.

I have completed over 150 hours of ZenThai Shiatsu bodywork therapy, which integrates a fluid blend of Thai massage, Shiatsu, and Osteopathic techniques, all grounded in Zen philosophy and our holistic connection to the source and the environment. More recently, I underwent facilitation training in the Hawaiian healing art of Ka Huna Massage therapy, which I feel truly encapsulates my oceanic essence, flow state, and heart-centred intuitive healing practice.

I am currently in the process of obtaining my Diploma in Remedial Massage, having completed my studies in Swedish Relaxation massage. I have been developing my skillset in trigger point therapy and deep tissue release under the mentorship of Sally Kluss, since joining the Murray St Massage team in May 2024.

I look forward to holding and healing with you. 

Warmly, Rachael
