After years of intense work within the charitable sector, Rachel sought a more balanced and fulfilling lifestyle. In 2007, that desire led her to begin a new chapter at Bodyology, where she started her journey into massage therapy. Her goal was clear: to build a career that allowed space for both meaningful work and personal well-being.
Today, Rachel is a respected massage teacher and runs a thriving practice in Islington, central London. She has developed a strong niche in pregnancy massage and is also a certified baby massage instructor. Her guiding principle in practice is simple yet powerful: “Always prioritise the client’s needs.”
Rachel, why massage?
I enjoy working with people and my work environment is amazing. I can’t remember anyone complaining!
What profession would you choose if you were not into massage therapy?
I would continue working in the field of complementary therapies with an emphasis on pregnancy. Pregnancy and early childhood years always fascinated me.
What is your life motto?
Let it be.
What kind of advice can you give to students?
Get organised from the first day of the course.
What’s your experience of Bodyology?
Bodyology is a lot more than a massage course. It has a unique approach to teaching and it is important to absorb as much knowledge as possible during the course. Bodyology gives one a solid foundation and inspires to continue learning after graduation.
What did you like about Bodyology?
Bodyology has a lot to offer, but its statement “Never stop learning,” stands out for me.
