Welcome to RADA

A holistic bodywork studio located in the heart of Friedrichshain, Berlin.

About RADA.

At RADA, our primary focus is on the unravelling of the fundamental root causes of health conditions, placing a significant emphasis on delving into the underlying reasons for the pain or trauma that individuals may be experiencing. We believe in a holistic approach that goes beyond merely addressing symptoms, aiming to understand and explore the core factors contributing to one's health challenges.

RADA has created a modern approach to bodywork by bridging the gap between mind and body therapies to help restore and regulate a fragile nervous system through the practice of Biodynamic Craniosacral Treatment (BCST), Remedial Massage, Holistic Body Work, Sound Frequency and Vibration, Chi Nei Tsang, Breath Work, Meditation, Heart Coherence and Counselling.

At RADA, we embrace the Biopsychosocial Model, recognising the intricate connection between biology, psychology, and environment. We're dedicated to unlocking your body's innate resilience by weaving in spiritual, ecological, and ethical principles. Understanding your body's rhythms and mechanics is fundamental to our approach.

Did you know? Pain isn't solely a mental experience; it resides in your body's soft tissues, like fascia. Over time, accumulated stress and trauma can manifest as blockages and chronic conditions.

Each person's journey through trauma is unique. We're here to listen and guide your body towards its own path to healing. Remember, healing from burnout and stress-related illnesses requires patience and dedication. Together, let's embark on the journey to holistic wellness. Welcome to RADA, your safe space for rejuvenation and restoration.

About Rachel.

Rachel (she/her) is a holistic body practitioner from Angourie, a small surfing village on the East coast of Australia. Her childhood years were spent submerged within the vastness of nature that surrounded her. This played a core part in her beliefs as a biodynamic therapist. This close connection with nature has influenced her captivation with anatomical structures, animal and human behaviour, underscoring a profound comprehension of the interplay between the intricacies of human nature and the natural world.

She has been a practitioner since 2005 with 18 years hands on experience working and studying in Australia, Denmark, The Netherlands and Germany. Rachel's entry into this field was fuelled by her quest to understand and overcome her own chronic pain and trauma. Frustrated with the limitations of allopathic medicine, she took the initiative to expand her knowledge by extensively studying the modalities that played a pivotal role in her personal healing journey.

Rachel specialises in the treatment of chronic pain and trauma, focusing on both physical- and psychological-based therapies that work with the body’s emotional intelligence and own healing abilities. She weaves her years of knowledge and experience into her practice, making her qualified to treat victims of assault, abuse and trauma, with special considerations* made for BIPOC and members of the LGBTQIA+ community, as well as refugees and others affected by war. 

Rachel moved to Europe in 2014 and has been permanently based in Berlin since 2019.

A message from Rachel:

”Based on my personal experiences and observations within the communities around me, I’ve come to understand that those who require treatment the most are often the ones least able to afford it. That’s why I am committed to offering treatments on a sliding scale specifically catering to individuals within marginalised communities and those directly affected by the repercussions of war.”
