“I’ve been receiving massages from Rachel at Embodied Life for over a decade, and in more recent years I’ve also benefited from nervous system support while navigating the loss of a parent and ongoing life stress. Her work is deeply grounding and supportive in a way that feels gentle and empowering. Rachel has a presence that makes me feel safe, cared for, and truly seen, while also encouraging me to stay connected to my own agency and wellbeing. I never leave feeling “fixed”, I leave feeling more resourced, more connected to myself, and more capable of meeting life with steadiness and confidence. Her studio is calm, beautiful, and deeply intentional. The moment you walk in, you can feel the care she has put into creating a space that supports healing on every level. If you’re looking for someone to support you through stress, grief, trauma, or simply learning how to feel more at home in yourself, I highly recommend Rachel.”

“The real deal. I came in carrying a lot in my body and my mind. Rachel's approach to somatic massage is so thoughtful and grounding. She doesn't just work on muscles, she works with your whole nervous system. The space at Embodied Life is clean, calming, and carefully tended. It's the kind of place you want to come back to just to exhale.”

“I cannot recommend Rachel highly enough. From our very first session, I experienced a level of care and presence that I had never encountered in a therapeutic space before. She has the ability to help me feel deeply held and supported, while also gently challenging me to grow. Initially, I came to reconnect with my body. But the work has opened up so much more than I ever expected. In my time with Rachel, I’ve connected with parts of myself I didn’t even know were there. The depth, safety, and integrity she brings to her practice have been such a gift for me.”

“Rachel is an incredible person - her compassion, attentiveness, and sincerity make you feel like you have a fellow warrior beside you while heading into the fray of your emotional chaos. She doesn't just smile, nod, and take down some notes. She's there alongside you with the struggle and makes sure you are seen and heard. She knows that trauma doesn't just live in our brain, and her wholistic approach to healing is something I needed for a long time. Her soothing voice and calming energy help you with the difficult task of facing things head-on, and then feeling better for it. Also an excellent RMT, Rachel can sense where your body is holding tension and help you heal. I'm so glad I put my cynicism aside and contacted Rachel at Embodied Life. She has helped me immensely on the road to rediscovering and acknowledging my strength.”

“The minute you walk through the door there is a peacefulness in the atmosphere that downregulates my nervous system immediately. I have worked with Rachel for over a year now and have gotten to deepen my understanding of somatic therapy and how to integrate it into my life. I couldn’t recommend her enough!”

“Rachel Pfau is a brilliant woman and a multi-talented therapist. And her space is like an oasis amidst the bustle of the city. Very highly recommended!”

“My sessions with Rachel have been nothing short of transformative. Her mindful, attuned presence creates a sense of safety that I have rarely experienced in other therapeutic modalities. From the moment I arrive, she meets me with such grounded warmth that my whole system begins to soften before the session even begins. Rachel’s somatic massage and somatic therapy work feel like a conversation where my body is finally allowed to speak and be heard. She listens with her hands and her intuition in a way that feels deeply respectful and entirely non‑intrusive. I never feel rushed, pushed, or analyzed. Instead, I feel met. Seen. Supported. I leave each session not simply relaxed, but more connected to myself. If you’re looking for work that is not just therapeutic but truly healing, Rachel offers something special!”

“I am so appreciative to Rachel and the somatic work I have explored in this space with her. As she states at the beginning, it is slow paced work, but incredibly noticeable and balancing to the nervous system. With a variety of ways to experience it, from communication and breath work, to gradual touch work and body work at the pace that feels suited to you. It has made me feel connected to my emotions and my body In a way no other type of therapy has been able to provide and for that, I truly recommend it to anyone curious about this work for themselves, as Rachel is an incredible guide on that journey.”

“Rachel is one of the most talented healers I know. She has a powerful blend of gentle yet firm presence that helps people feel safe, seen, open and engaged. She is a wonderful generous human who also possesses huge knowledge on trauma, grief and somatic healing.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Rachel and it was a magnificent experience. She is a gentle yet powerful force and knows how to work with people, our nervous systems and help us transform and heal at our own pace. I have worked with many somatic practitioners over many years and none compare to Rachel's abilities. You can feel her authenticity and her compassion for the human experience and supporting people through it. Her wisdom created space for my needs (versus many other practitioners where I felt like I had to follow their script), Rachel flowed the session with what I was comfortable with and what I needed at any given moment. She also empowers her clients and helps us find agency in ourselves to create confidence and knowing of self. I'm so grateful I found her and look forward to many more sessions in the future! Bonus, her studio is absolutely stunning!!! Thanks Rachel you are an absolute light!”
