I CAN’T WAIT TO MEET YOU

About me

I’m excited to bring my holistic therapy business to you and to Herefordshire

Hi, I’m Rachel

I have over 20 years’ experience as a holistic therapist, alongside almost 20 in the NHS (I know, I don’t look old enough!) where I worked in Mental Health Services as a Community Psychiatric Nurse.

Initially I juggled building up my own business with the demands of a very stressful full-time career, before leaving the NHS over eight years ago to concentrate on running my own therapy business full time. I have never looked back.

After building up my own business in Oxfordshire, it was time for a change. In 2020, my husband and I moved to rural Herefordshire, where despite the challenges that lockdown brought us, we created and built The Therapy Shed.

It was important to me that my cabin should have a calm and welcoming vibe and be surrounded by nature. The large windows overlook apple trees and a garden filled with wildlife. Clients often enjoy seeing the garden birds, rabbits and more recently, two muntjac wandering around outside during sessions. They may also enjoy a guest appearance from one of my cats or my spaniel.

*Please note that Jasper, my big tabby cat, does regularly come into my cabin so if you have a cat allergy, I’m afraid I’m not the therapist for you.

BOOK TREATMENT

I specialise in The Bowen Technique (a fabulous gentle remedial therapy which is great for muscular skeletal problems, pain conditions, hormone balance as well as emotional issues) and Lymphatic Mojo sessions. We can all benefit from supporting our lymphatic system and I incorporate some lymphatic work in most of my treatments. Quite simply, if we open up choked areas before we start, anything that shifts during treatment can then be dealt with by your body, meaning better treatment outcomes and you get more from your session.

I qualified in 2024 as a Touch for Health Kinesiologist. Kinesiology is a form of energy healing, and I find this modality absolutely fascinating, particularly when working with it to support emotional health. Every session is different and may include a variety of techniques to bring about balance, from massaging neuro-lymphatic points to vibrational healing techniques such as chakra balancing.

As my work as a practitioner has evolved, I have noticed that there has been a corresponding shift in treatment outcomes for my clients. Often people will first come for support with a physical issue, but continue coming for sessions long after this has resolved because of the benefits they get on an emotional and spiritual level too. The mind body connection is amazing and I love that clients develop greater awareness and clarity around their own health and well-being as a result of their holistic sessions.

My approach is simple – I tailor each treatment to your individual needs with the aim of helping you to feel better. I am grateful for my loyal client base and love introducing people to the benefits of a holistic treatment.

I look forward to welcoming you to my beautiful Therapy Shed.

The Therapy Shed is such a lovely, calming space with large windows onto Rachel's beautiful garden...and Rachel has a wonderful presence about her so you immediately feel at ease.

Rachel has been an absolute angel to me over the past few years. Always ready to help heal the best way possible, which changes each time. Positive support, super caring and accommodating, couldn't recommend higher!

My multiple visits with Rachel over the last 6+ months have confirmed to me that she is not only a very skilled therapist but really is a genuinely lovely person that has the ability to make you feel at ease and calm before even laying a finger on you.
