Rachel Bouthillier

 

Rachel had always visualized an active lifestyle with a career to match. She graduated from Concordia University with a Bachelor of Science, Specialization in Exercise Science in 2004, which became the starting point to a passion she was soon to discover.

Rachel attended the Kiné-Concept Institute in Montreal, where she graduated in Kinetic Swedish massage in 2005. She quickly became excited about her new education of natural healing and health, and felt she needed more. She continued studying, and graduated in Masso-Kinésitherapy in 2007. With over 1000-hours of training in Massage Therapy, she continues to take courses in Craniosacral Therapy, Fasciatherapy, and Massage adapted for pregnant women.

The objective of her work is to help rebalance the body (proper postural alignment), and help regain fluidity and flexibility of the tissues with a therapeutic touch. The ultimate goal being long-term pain relief and/or injury prevention/rehabilitation, so her clients can maximize their enjoyment of an active and healthy lifestyle.

She is certified with the Association des Massothérapeutes Professionnels du Québec (AMPQ) and the Association des Naturothérapeutes du Québec (ANQ).
