Rachel Pfau, Somatic Touch Therapist, SEP

She is the crown jewel of her expertise! Working with Rachel is NOT just a loving gift to Self, but to the whole of humanity. When we are able to move these old trapped energies that we carry throughout our bodies, there is space and opportunity for the very deep healing that Rachel intuitively guides and assists in. Her depth of knowledge and understanding of human trauma brings a RARE skill-set to the table, and in the times we are currently living in, I cannot imagine where I’d be without her help through some really tough places I found myself in. As far as anything to do with a virus or any other microorganisms - they are a part of us, and we coexist in harmony as we all should. Personally, I prefer to connect with another smiling face willing to openly communicate with me.... Those were the days eh?!? Thank you Rachel and looking forward to seeing you again soon!

Rachel is a highly skilled, attuned and empathic trauma informed massage therapist. As an RP, I feel confident to recommend her services to my clients. She helped me to find calm, comfort and peace in my body, mind and spirit during a difficult phase. At other times, her work is pure bliss.

Rachel is one of a kind!! As a relational somatic life Coach, I so appreciate the reverence she offers to the body. We are not merely muscles and fascia to be soothed over, but hidden caverns of trauma and energy to be released. Rachel understand the body's wisdom. She is patient, gentle and allows space for the body to heal in its own time. The experience is infused with so much divinity and care. From start to finish she offered an extremely hygienic and safe experience. In these Covid times, having an opportunity to process felt like a beautiful gift to myself. If you want to honour your wholeness, her angelic hands are a must!!!

I started seeing Rachel for touch therapy over 10 years ago.  She helped me recover from chronic pain that I never imagined would be possible. She is one of the strongest RMTs I’ve ever worked with but her gentleness in how she speaks and listens is what I liked most. I have referred several of my loved ones to experience her healing presence.

Rachel is absolutely phenomenal! I've been seeing her for 2 years and she ALWAYS does such an amazing job. The massage alone would be well worth a visit, but it's her knowledge in trauma that puts the cherry on top. My husband now goes to see her as well as my friends and some of my family. Not kidding, you will leave her appt feeling so relaxed and at peace :)

This was far more than a massage! This was an integrated healing experience. I have had many massages in my life and this was without a doubt the greatest one ever! Not only is Rachel gifted in her craft, but she is super professional, funny, and caring! I can't wait to see her again. The world needs more healers like Rachel!

I found Rachel at a time when there was a lot going on in my emotional space. I was completely burnt out and overwhelmed by the smallest things. It was a severe traumatic state. My body was internally weak and fragile, I couldn't focus on work and I was exhausted by the emotional turmoil I had been experiencing. Just in my initial consult with Rachel, my body told me she is the one. Even though it was just a consultation, Rachel dealt with me with so much care, centeredness and honesty, that I immediately felt safe. It was refreshing, comforting and hopeful all at the same time. I was debating leaving the city for a bit but she is one major reason that I have stayed. Ever since then, my journey with her has been an extension of those sensations. We worked every week to build safety within my body, practise being present in the now, listening to my body, amplifying the sliver of goodness buried under an ocean of trauma within my body, all without exchanging too many words. I have gone from saying "the" body to consciously owning it as "my" body. I am more centered, confident and assertive with my needs. Allowing and accepting where I am unapologetically. I felt my insides strengthening ever so slightly every week! Rachel has taught me to ask for more, make something "even better" instead of settling for "good" without shame and without being attached to getting it every time. She has helped me begin my journey from head to body. My work with her has been extremely respectful, safe, consensual and truly co-creative. I have learned the value of my own voice and consent in places I didn't think it was necessary. My work with her is not done yet, but I have achieved a significant milestone in being able to function. I have huge respect for somatic work. It is rare to find people who truly know how to hold space in silence. Rachel is a gift for her clients and I am so grateful that she chose to serve the world with her magic!

Rachel is wonderful!! she's very soft spoken, gentle and has continued, throughout the years I have known her to express kindness, caring and professionalism. I can't say enough about how she always makes me feel very comfortable during our interactions and every time I walk away from our visits feeing great! Thank you Rachel for always being a light in this world.
