Rachel Garza's interest in massage and bodywork started in her adolescence. As a gymnast, it was very important for her to have full control over her body and have a strong capacity to visualize. The concepts surrounding body movement, acupuncture points that correlate with organ systems, as well as the numerous modalities that can trigger the healing process in the body piqued Rachel’s interest and motivated her to pursue her education in this field.
The following year, Rachel enrolled at Tennessee Institute of Healing Arts in Chattanooga, graduating in 2003. There, she completed her massage therapy and bodywork education with an emphasis on neuromuscular therapy, a precise and thorough treatment of the body’s soft tissue.
Rachel moved to Arizona in 2005 and attending Southwest Institute of Healing Arts to expand her knowledge in Reflexology. In 2010, She opened her own business, Open Hands Massage joining forces with Total Lifestyle Chiropractic where Rachel spent the last seven years gaining an extensive amount of education on how the nervous, fascial and skeletal structure works together within the body. She wanted to find less aggressive ways to loosen fascial adhesions and scar tissue, which lead her to training in Fascial Stretch Therapy at Stretch to Win in Tempe, AZ in 2014. FST is a constant, gentle form of stretching the body through different fascial lines.
The availability of training in multiple modalities continues to grow, and with it, the many therapists in this field. Cupping Therapy had always been of interest to her, and she had the opportunity of attending two advanced certification classes in 2016. Using negative pressure to reduce inflammation, release emotional energies, and promote healing is an ancient form of medicine dating back 3,500 years ago.
In 2017, she moved OHM to Arizona Wellness Medicine where she had the opportunity of working alongside Dr. Emily Parke, a well-known functional medicine doctor, motivating her to create specialized treatments for her patients.
Rachel received her certification in Manual Lymph Drainage through Klose Training in 2020, a technique designed to increase the movement of lymph and interstitial fluid through the body. It is a treatment used primarily for pre and post-surgical edema, autoimmune disorders, and cancer patients.
Currently, she is completing her certification in Aromatherapy through Stillpoint Aromatics in Sedona, which will be focused on Clinical Aromatherapy and Herbalism in the coming year.
Rachel strives to create the highest level of care for her clients to give them a peaceful, healing environment and a space for them to connect their mind, body, and spirit.
