Rachelle, our Head Instructor and Assistant Director at Spectrum School of Massage is also the owner of Spectrum Fitness. After receiving her BA in Psychology and working several professions while traveling around with her military family, Rachelle began to look at ways to become stable in a mobile career.

She extended her massage education by attending an orthopedic massage seminar. After the first day, she was sold on the effectiveness of orthopedic massage and continued on to get her certification in that modality.
