Hi Rodney, It was a pleasure tryingf to make you comfortable, not being able to be on your back, must be a real challenge for you. I hope the foot reflexology treatments with the use of the Kansa wand felt comfortable and sootrhig for you. Looking forward to our next challenge! Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review, I know how busy you are. Your review was a little confusing for me, it seemed you stopped in mid air! But, I understood what you were saying. Stay warm, it will be cold tomorrow! Take care. Rachelle

My experience with Rachelle was wonderful. I felt welcomed and relaxed in her home. Not only is this gifted soul very knowledgeable but also very thorough and kind. Rachelle was even nice enough to call me the next day just to see how I was doing. How often does that happen? I highly recommend her, and I look forward to our next session. Harold

Response from the owner · 11 months ago

Rachelle is awesome! ​Not only does she use various holistic methods to address​ your needs, but​ she is also a wonderful teacher with a wealth of knowledge. I would recommend her to anyone searching for the ultimate therapeutic experience!

Response from the owner · a year ago

Heidi, it was an absolute pleasure to serve you with my healing gifts. Our energies matched, and it was a wonderful session! Glad you liked the use of the Kansa wand, and the ocean drum, and crystals! All these tools add so much to bringing calm and peace within, and complements my healing touch to go further to give you complete relief of pain or blockages you might have. Foot reflexology added a new energy lift to your whole being. So Glad you took the time to come to me. Thanks for this wonderful review. And have a smooth trip back to LA! Rachelle at Back in Motion. Be in touch again for your next trip.

I have received a DISTANT Reiki session by Rachelle. I have chronic tendinitis in my right hip tendon plus, for the past two days, stiff lower back muscles making movement arduous. My first session was two weeks ago and today, a second session of lasting between 20 min to 25 min after which, Rachelle said, "goodbye" then, left me in my own space to continue on my own with Timer set to wake me in case I should drift off into sleep. Observations: At the start of receiving, Rachelle asks me to verbally affirm that "I grant permission to receive Reiki from Rachelle and open my energy field to receive." In both sessions during the receiving process I felt a golf of what felt like, gentle waves of tingling flow over my entire body. Felt very RELAXED and GROUNDED when I eventually got up. Lower back muscles feeling less 'stiff' although my achey right inguinal tendon at the moment still resides though with less 'sharpness'. (I am drinking plenty warm water this time - forgot to do this directly after 1st session.) After my first session I remember that my hip felt similar and at the end of the second day and moving forwards, I noticed free'er mobility in my hip and when I walked overall. Warm gratitude to you, Rachelle.

Response from the owner · Edited a year ago

Thank you Zouki for this wonderful testimonial. I wish i could have been with you in the Netherlands to have given you Reiki personally, but happy that distance healing worked for you. I hope you get more relief as time goes by. Do more walking. I suggest you try using Dead Sea Salt in the bath before you sleep. It will help you out immensely. Until next time, thank you. -Rachelle

Rachelle is really amazing. The other day I strained my left knee going up steep stairs. I got on the massage table and within a few minutes she got rid of all the pain . Rachelle uses many different techniques and modalities and I'm not always sure what she is doing, but it certainly works and that's what matters. I highly recommend her.

Response from the owner · 3 years ago

It was so exciting to use new essential oils that were specific for supporting knee pain. I am so grateful for the pure unadulterated oils that come from specific plants that aid us for medicinal matters.Thank you Gunter for being brave to try something new, and glad you got such positive results in a very short time.
