Bodywork Sessions

I offer my clients a space in which to access greater ease and comfort in their bodies. We might address specific areas of physical tension or injury, or aim to restore a more general sense of wellness through opening up the channels of breath and energy flow. Sometimes strong emotions need room to move through, and receiving attuned touch can be an invitation toward that release. Regardless of the content, I aim to meet each client exactly where they are, and co-create a session that will best support them to feel well and resourced.

I incorporate techniques from Swedish and Deep tissue massage, along with over 25 years of dance, yoga, and somatic studies, including nervous system regulation movements culled from CranioSacral therapy and other trauma-informed somatic approaches.

I graduated from the San Francisco School of Massage in 2003, and have maintained a steady private practice since then.  I added pre-natal massage studies in 2007 so that I could bring those skills to pregnant clients as well.

  • “I have worked with Rachel Heron for many years and although I am primarily seeing her for massage, I also leave with perspective. Rachel is technically skilled, eases my chronic pain, and has worked successfully on acute pain following a major surgery. These are important considerations that influence my decision to see her weekly, but I also go because Rachel is kind, smart, intuitive, empathic and has superb boundaries. I feel safe and respected, cared for and about by Rachel. What is the highest level of recommendation one can give? I give higher.”

  • “In a world of mediocre massage therapists, Rachel shines as a true professional. Her knowledge of anatomy, strong hands, and delightful bedside manner contribute to a massage experience which can’t be matched. Sports injuries, age related issues, or just relaxation needs, Rachel is a master at resetting your body and mind.”
