My experience with Rachel as a practitioner was an amazing learning experience. With her I learned how to be more myself. I described to my friends often that acupuncture was like “embodied therapy.” I had gone to therapy since I was in high school as a way to release my feelings and get reassuring that they were normal and I could deal with them. In acupuncture I felt for the first time how my emotions are part of my body. After starting treatment with Rachel, I realized that the therapy I had been receiving was good for helping me be OK in my current state, but didn’t help me grow at all. With Rachel, I explored ways to cultivate being more present in my body to support new practices. Throughout the treatment, I felt supported, cared for, and understood.
