12: Sinking Into Synchronicity With Rachael Huttner

In this episode, I share an intimate and enriching conversation with a dear friend, Rachael Huttner, who is Thai Body Worker and Reiki Practitioner.

Rachael and I talk about how basketball inspired her Thai Body Work, the importance of tribe and teamwork, how to be in touch with synchronicity, and nurturing and valuing intuition and spirit guides.

Rachael’s bodywork practice draws from her studies in Reiki, Thai Bodywork, Trigger Point Therapy, Chinese Medicine and her latest introduction to Shamanic studies. Two components ultimately lay the foundation for the effectiveness of these modalities: making energy and spiritual work approachable to everyone, and creating a collaborative environment. She considers the best teachers and practitioners to be the ones that you need to see less and less as time goes on because they give you the tools needed to draw from your own inner knowledge for health and well-being.

Having spent over a decade recovering from a surgery and back injury in her teens and 20s, Rachael discovered that lasting healing truly begins once you address the emotional, mental, and spiritual components. Rachael saw countless doctors and specialists and became very frustrated with the brief visits, multiple diagnoses, and feeling of helplessness over the decline in her quality of well-being. Thankfully, she was young and stubborn at the time and promised herself that she would find a way to heal that was less confusing and invasive. This desire carried her to a community acupuncture clinic in her late 20s. There, she felt deep compassion from her practitioner, she felt heard and was truly supported for the first time on her quest towards a pain-free life. What an empowering approach! This was the turning point in Rachael’s journey of healing.

Rachael continued to receive care from some holistic practitioners, and each contributed in their own way towards lasting healing and full recovery (in a mere two years). The lessons she learned from this journey have left their imprint on Rachael’s vision for her bodywork sessions. She attunes herself to her client’s goals and works with the relevant information that presents itself during a session. She also encourages her clients to listen to sensations and emotions following a session, as this not only prolongs the benefits of bodywork and Reiki but also empowers them to develop true autonomy over their bodies and well-being.

Rachael is sincerely grateful to everyone that helped her as she healed and embarked on this mission to have her own bodywork practice. Compassion, patience, and encouragement were the special ingredients expressed by loved ones. Rachael carries this support in her heart each day with the sincere wish to share these gifts with others.
