“Rachel Shevlin is a trustworthy and loving caregiver. I've been getting massages by Rachel for over a year, and I love my time spent with her. I've never felt more comfortable than I do with Rachel. Whether I am in her lounge or at my own home she always provides a peaceful environment. Rachel is great for a relaxing massage, or a deeper healing massage. She always makes sure to address my chief complaint.

What I like best about Rachel is her background education and her willingness to share her understanding with clients. Rachel has a profound knowledge of human muscular anatomy, ergonomics and biomechanics. She uses logic to find the sources of my pain and gives me exercises and stretches to get to the root of the problem. While I'm getting my massage, Rachel often tells me the specific muscle she is targeting, its anatomical attachments, and what I may be doing to cause pain there. Rachel is full of love and light. She has a passion for health and wellness and has the talent to make a difference in my life. I'm thankful for all her care and healing work.”

"I met Rachel almost two years ago when we began working together at a Wellness Center. After hearing other employees rave about Rachel’s massage I had to try her out for myself. Now I am happy to say we have a beautiful and frequent massage trade that I hope will last forever. I have watched Rachel grow into a fantastic therapist and an amazing friend. Rachel has a warm and nurturing intuitive nature; which brings a sense of immediate comfort to all who receive work from her.

Her massage style creates the perfect balance of relaxation while working deeper into all your tight spots. I always rise from her massage table feeling fresh, new, and loved. Her deep tissue skills, knowledge of muscle anatomy, and innate ability to understand what each of her clients needs continues to amaze me."

“Rachel has been an amazing gift to my pregnancy journey.  I saw her one time per month throughout my second pregnancy and it made all the difference!  Her energy is peaceful and loving, and you feel that with each massage.  She has tons of props to help you get comfortable on the table with your growing belly. She always communicates with you to make sure the pressure is exactly what you’re looking for. Her home is a peaceful sanctuary and the room where she gives the massages always is so calming and zen like. I especially like the essential oils on the eye pillow.  That always made me relax even more.  I have shared Rachel with many friends (pregnant and not), and they have all said the same about her.  She is amazing!"

“If you are looking to manage chronic pain without being chained to strong prescription pills, you should see Rachel Shevlin. I met Rachel when I pulled my neck during a self-defense class. I was like a robot. I couldn’t move my neck to look up, down or sideways. After 90-minutes with Rachel, viola! The pain greatly diminished allowing me to move my neck.  I also suffer from migraines.  The kind that would force you to stay in bed in silence and darkness. Rachel routinely releases any accumulated stress in my shoulders, neck and forearms which could trigger my migraines. I used to run 5Ks every weekend, but it came at a price. I now suffer from shin splints.  I still can’t run, but now I am able to jog a 5K. Before, the pain was so immense I couldn’t finish jogging a 5K. 

 Rachel’s approach is realistic and methodical.  She won’t give you empty promises that one treatment will make it all go away. If you see Rachel for a treatment, you are a valued patient. You are not a number.  She will give you her full attention and constantly check that your needs are being met during the session.  Most important of all, Rachel  upholds the sacredness of medical privacy. She truly, sincerely cares and  listens without passing judgment. 

I’ve had massage therapies all over San Diego County even as far as Los Angeles County to find any kind of relief without resorting to popping pills. You are truly in good hands with Rachel.”

"I found Rachel when looking for someone who could use structural integration techniques to help work through some trouble spots.  She has been so patient and kind to help me work through those issues.  Her massages have assisted in helping my body feel better, especially in chronically tight areas.  She has great ideas about ways to help reach the goals of the patient.  But also does not force those ideas, she is very accommodating to what the client wants.  I feel lucky to have found Rachel and I will continue to see her for my massage needs."
