Offering Healing Medical Massage in a Safe Ambient Space
Securely draped or fully clothed for your comfort.
I have been trained to work with and find the causes for neck pain, shoulder pain, arm pain, hand pain, hip pain, back pain, leg pain, foot pain, headaches and more. Knowing that postural habits are the usual cause for our pain and that every client is unique, I perform a free physical evaluation before your session, which is crucial to the success of massage therapy. Not only is my practice about the work, but it is of utmost importance to me that you feel comfortable and safe under my care. When you come for your first visit, I'll provide a one-page intake form for you to fill out. Not only will I consider the information you've written, but I will listen to what you have to say about your activities of daily living (ADLs) in order to get an overview of what repetitive strain you may be placing on your musculoskeletal system, including emotional stress which reflects in the tissues. After the physical evaluation, which doesn't take but 15 minutes or so, the session will begin. All pressure will be gauged to your comfort level. I'll explain what I am doing and why, unless, of course, you prefer peace and quiet... which I will respect. When the session is complete, I'll wait for you in the next room where I'll provide and explain your self-care instructions. There is no cost for the evaluation and self-care. You will be charged for the hands-on work only.

Medical Massage for Injuries, Wellness and Performance
Deep tissue and sports massage for wellness and performance. Each massage is tailored to the current goals of clients, such as relief of pain, improved flexibility, more energy, stamina, etc. Migraine and headache syndromes are a specialty. Many of my clients have been with me for several years as they meet their goals and set new ones. Getting there is fun! Sometimes performance goals are athletic, like running marathons or improving golf scores. Other clients set goals to improve their quality of life, such as eliminating headaches and back pain. Massage is a major factor in preventing injuries as well as maintaining health. I am often told my empathy for people's conditions gives me an edge in treating conditions such as migraines, fibromyalgia and TMJ.I also use my skills as a medical and science writer and researcher to track downmassage solutions to muscle skeletal problems. I listen. I care. I am interested in helping people feel betterand bette.

Get Rid of That Pain!
I have been in practice for 18 years now, specializing in post-injury, deep tissue and relaxation treatments. Each session is geared toward what the client/patients needs are. Because of my work experience at a local hospital doing bedside massage for patients for almost 14 years, my medical massage experiece has been pivotal in my private practice. I do not diagnose a clients condition, but I work closely with other medical professionals to assist each client in their direct path of rehabilitation. If my techniques are not appropriate for the client, I have a list of other practicioners that I can also refer them to. I am truly blessed to love what I do and I hope that shows in treatment session that I give. I am happy to say that I have been blessed with clients who’ve stayed with me for well over a decade! If you need any referrals, just ask! Thank you!

Neck and shoulder dysfunction
Prenatal/induction massage
I have been practising massage for 26 years and love it!! My sessions have evolved over the years to what works best for my clients. I specialize in shoulder dysfunction and lower back pain - which is often associated with hip issues. I also work a lot with prenatal massage , and when the time comes have had a lot of success with induction massage - hoping to avoid chemical induced labor My massage table is equiped with a tempurpedic mattress topper for maximum comfort my moms to be like this especially in their last trimester! I combine massage with organic grade A essential oils and moist heat - I have found that the combination of these three not only help with pain and tension release but also leads clients to a deep state of relaxation.

Body Balance was created out of a love of helping people find relief from their day to day stress, muscle tension, headache & back pain. I incorporate various techniques which help soften and release muscular tightness (i.e., spasms, knots, cramping, contractions) in order that you can feel looser and progress towards a painfree body. I have been working for years on athletes, professionals, police, teachers, and business owners (to name a few) using Deep Tissue techniques to help give great relief over time. I have helped with injuries of all kinds in most areas of the body, and when I can do no more (muscularly), I will be happy to educate and direct you to an appropriate next step.

You CAN get out of Pain Today!
My practice is all about giving the people I work with a body that can function free from pain. And beyond that, explaining the dynamics of the connective tissue system that is present in all of us. The devastating effect when this system is compromised is experienced at the least with pain. The exciting thing is, connective tissue pain can be reversed quickly, sometimes in as little as 30 minutes. The client homework I share with you at the end of your session (flexibility and strength) is designed to keep the work we do stable. It's your body and your responsibility to keep it flexible and strong if you want to enjoy a pain free lifestyle. Believe me, your time and effort is worth it! Finally, I don't "fix" anyone. I simply have some cutting edge manual therapies that facilitate and allow you and I as a team, to let your body do what it needs to do to heal.

The Worries of Daily Life May Gently Fall Away as You Rise
to a Lighter, More Aware and Peaceful Place.
My bodywork practice is all about tuning in, not tuning out. I specialize in whole-person wellness and hold a safe space for the emotional side of bodywork to emerge. I deeply believe in the mind-body connection and find that emotional holdings can reside in the body. I often use a combination of therapeutic massage and Reiki energy work, allowing clients to find their path to healing. Clients often comment on the depth of my work, that is, I can provide a deep tissue therapeutic massage, as well as allow them to go to a deep state of relaxation and/or a deeply emotional place. I tailor each of my sessions to fit the unique needs of my clients, so no two sessions look the same. I meet each client in the present moment and listen deeply — with my ears and my touch — to understand what the body has to tell me.

My name is Rachael Smith. I am a fully qualified and insured Complementary Therapist. My practice is a home based treatment room and facilities with parking to the rear of the building. My treatment room has an old fashioned rustic feel, ensuring every client is kept cosy and warm with a log burning fire and soft fleece blankets. The treatments carried out at my practice are tailored to everyone's specific needs and requirements. Homecare advice and treatment is also offered with clients taking a blend of essential oils to use at home when needed. Most commonly a sleeping blend or a muscle relaxant blend. I also offer home treatments in the comfort of your own home if prefered. Day to day life can leave people with muscular tension whether it is caused through work related tasks such as long distance driving or sitting at a desk for a long period of time. Massage can be a very easy solution to the common aches and pains if dealt with correctly. A treatment plan will be devised through means of a detailed consultation and analysis of the muscular tissue, followed by recommendations and advice. Reflexology is beneficial for restoring balance and harmony in the body and releasing tension. It can help facilitate a deep state of relaxation, calm the emotions, and produce a serene mind. Many people describe a profound sense of relaxation and increased energy following their session. In addition, specific studies have shown that reflexology can reduce pain and anxiety, decrease premenstrual symptoms, and reduce fatigue and insomnia.

Reduced fatigue. Massage can also help specifically address a number of health issues. Bodywork can: Alleviate low-back pain and improve range of motion. Assist with shorter, easier labor for expectant mothers and shorten maternity hospital stays. Ease medication dependence. Enhance immunity by stimulating lymph flow—the body's natural defense system.

Move Quietly Into Your Center Of Calm
My practice is intuitive based. I listen to the body's rhythm to move my hands to the areas most needed to be massaged. My technique is somewhat of an ironing out the wrinkles in the bodys muscles. I use Ayurvedic herbal organic oils. With my initial touch I use Cranio Sacral holds to calm the mind and relax the body. The Cranio Sacral techniques work with the facia of the body releasing adhesions. Then I do a deep relaxation massage. When the body is relaxed I will use deep tissue massage if there are tight areas of holding. I use hot stones when someones body is hurting, long term chronic fatique or fibromyalgia. The heat relaxes the muscles and relieves the pain. Over time and lifestyle changes the pain can be decreased significantly. I also do Ayurveda, using meditation, pranyama (deep breathing) techniques. During your treatment you will often be instructed to breathe at the beginning. The remainiing time is a quiet deeply relaxing experience. I also do 6 week 2 hour workshops. At the last session I serve a beautiful bouguet of delicious organic foods.

Massage Cupping is a modality I have added to my Neuromuscular Massage Practice. Practicing since 1998, I have explored many modalities to add to my massage sessions to speed healing and insure my clients get the best result from their time with me. Cupping is an ancient technique dating back to Egypt around 3,500 years ago. The action of Cupping is negatve pressure, rather than tissue compression. It is safe, comfortable, and affords many positive results for many health disorders. Creating suction and negative pressure helps release congested, rigid tissue. It helps to drain excess fluid and is a great way to rid the body of toxins. Cupping lifts the fascia, loosens sticky, adhesive tissue, and brings blood flow to stagnant muscles and tissue. The pulling action allows a deep relaxation to move through the body because cupping engages the parasympathetic nervous sysem. Positve health results are many with Cupping and many condtions can be treated with Cupping. Skin discolorations can and do occur with Cupping. These discolorations are not bruises. When circulation is sluggish and inhibited, oxygen is not fully present in the cells, there is toxic build-up and stagnation. In Chinese Medicine this is known as blood poisen. Symptoms of this are pain and decreased function of the area. The longer the condition has existed the possiblility of darker discolorations is present. These discolorations can last from hours to 12 days depending on the level of stagnation present. As treatments continue the marks will occur less and less. These marks are not painful and the Petechia (slight subcutaneous discharge of blood) is not capillary rupture as in bruising.
