About Cosmic Artichoke
Here at Cosmic Artichoke it’s about peeling back layers, allowing, releasing—creating space for the body to be so it can ultimately reprioritize and heal. Through a blend of Intuitive Energy Work, Craniosacral Therapy (CST), Myofascial Release (MFR), and Dynamic Body Balancing, I offer a gentle approach to healing, one that contrasts with the constant input and tension of everyday life. These practices honor the wisdom already within you.
Meet Rachael
I’m Rachael, a Subtle Energy Practitioner with a background in Kinesiology, Holistic Wellness, and Energy/Body Work. My path here wasn’t linear, but it was deeply intentional.
After earning my bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology, I spent five years in sales, where I gained invaluable skills but felt deeply unfulfilled. I remained dedicated to a healthy lifestyle, but I knew something was missing. I explored different paths—considering a return to school for Dietetics—but ultimately, I followed a calling to deepen my understanding of holistic well-being.
I completed a Health Coaching Certification through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, which provided amazing foundational knowledge.
That was a huge step, but I quickly realized: coaching alone wasn’t enough. People (myself included) needed deeper tools—ones that could help shift what was stored in the body.
That led me to Craniosacral Therapy, Dynamic Body Balancing, and Intuitive Energy Work—I’ve never looked back.
And, just as I guide others through layers of release, I found myself peeling back my own.
Healing is a journey both inward and outward. As a practitioner, I’ve learned that I can only hold space for others to the extent that I’ve held it for myself. This work is ever-evolving, just as we are.
Who This Work is For:
This work meets you where you are, whether you’re dealing with:
🌿 Emotional pain—grief, anxiety, or feeling disconnected from yourself
🌿 Physical discomfort—headaches, jaw tension, or chronic pain
🌿 Recovery & realignment—healing after injury or simply feeling "off"
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach, but the people who benefit the most are those who are ready and willing to do the work—who recognize their own power in creating change and are committed to the process.
What To Expect:
By the end of a session, the most common thing I hear is:
"I don’t remember the last time I felt this calm and at home in my body."
Each session is unique, but I may incorporate:
✨ Guided visualization to help you connect with your body’s wisdom
✨ Breathwork & movement to facilitate flow and release
✨ Tuning forks & frequency tools (Healy) to support energetic shifts
The goal isn’t to force change but to allow your body to remember what balance feels like and return to it naturally.
Why Cosmic Artichoke?
The name came to me in a funny way—I really love artichoke hearts! But beyond that, it became a metaphor for life, healing, and the human experience.
An artichoke has layers upon layers, just like we do. And at the center? The heart. The essence. That’s what this work is about—gently peeling back layers to reconnect with your truest self. And "cosmic"—well, that speaks to the bigness yet oneness of it all.
