Book this appointment type for a Reiki Treatment:

What is Reiki? Reiki is a Japanese energy technique for stress reduction and relaxation. Reiki activates our parasympathetic nervous system to promote healing. Reiki has been shown to clear energy blockages, reduce anxiety, manage depression, sleep better, recover better after surgery, and reduce inflammation.

Reiki treatments will begin with a brief discussion about your health goals for the treatment. A traditional Byosen scan will be completed to identify energy blockages you may be experiencing. Treatment will include energetic clearing of each chakra.

Dr. Herron provides complimentary optional add ons to your Reiki treatment to promote relaxation and nervous system down regulation: heat therapy, relaxing music, sound bowls, essential oils and/or hot towel.

Hi, I’m Dr. Rachel Herron (she/her). I am a trauma informed Orthopedic and Pelvic Health Physical Therapist certified in Dry Needling and trained in Visceral Manipulation. I am also a Master Reiki Practitioner. I offer holistic wellness services to all genders, ages 10 and up. My mission as a Health Care Provider is to offer integrative mind-body wellness and educational services that empower people to be their own greatest healers. As such, I strive to honor the intersections between our physical health, mental health, emotional wellbeing, and various layers of our racial, cultural, and sexual identities.

I hold my Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Pacific University, where I served as Class President and co-founded a student led group named The Collective for Diversity and Social Justice to address health disparities. I first discovered my passion for pelvic health while working as a Pelvic Health Research Assistant at Pacific University. Since then, I have completed over 200 hours of continuing education to become a pelvic health specialist.

I earned my Bachelor of Arts Degree from Colorado College, where I majored in Cellular Molecular Biology and double minored in Spanish & Human Biology and Kinesiology.

I am proud to be a retired Division I student-athlete. I love integrating my experiences as a student-athlete and Captain of my Division I soccer team into my practice as an Orthopedic & Pelvic Health Physical Therapist & Reiki practitioner. I culminated my soccer career representing Team USA at the World University Games in Gwangju, South Korea.

I currently serve as co-chair of the APTA WA Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging committee.

I am honored to teach pelvic health content to Student Physical Therapists as an Adjunct Professor for the Doctor of Physical Therapy Program, at Tufts University School of Medicine (Seattle Campus). I also offer mentoring services to aspiring pelvic health physical therapists.

Some of my speciality patient populations include: BIPOC, LGBTQ+, first responders, military, high Performance Athletes, survivors and trauma and abuse and people experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress injuries (commonly called PTSD).

When I am not at Cedar Physical Therapy, I enjoy living in the greater Tacoma area with my wife and our 3 dogs, Luca, Ali and Vinnie. The cute pup in photos across my website, is Ali, my clinic’s Therapy Dog! Ali and I can’t wait to support you on your wellness journey.
