Meet Rachel

Spinal Energetics Practitioner · Napa Valley & Beyond

Hi, I’m Rachel

I'm a Spinal Energetics practitioner and the Co-Owner of Studio Be Napa.

You can think of me as the person who has been where you are and knows what you're capable of.

I came to this work through my own body. I was the high-functioning overachiever running on armor and override — good at the performance, proud of it even. Depression and anxiety hummed underneath a surface of hyper-productivity. Feelings were problems to be solved, not signals to be heard.

Then I found Network Spinal Analysis. Within thirty minutes of my first session I felt something I had never felt before: an unwavering knowing that everything was going to be okay. No plan. No fear.

That moment didn't just change me. It made everything after it inevitable. Since then, I've invested serious time and resources into finding the highest-ROI modalities — not to feel nice, but to expand my perception, dissolve limiting beliefs, and build the capacity to BE more and IMPACT more. That pursuit became the foundation of everything I offer.

I work with precision and depth — with the spine, nervous system, and energetic field. I see potential where others see problems. I've been where you are. I know what you're capable of. And I've lived this work long enough to take you somewhere real.

What makes my work distinct is not just the lineage, though the lineage runs deep. It is my conviction — tested in my own body, over a lifetime — that this work must be lived before it can be facilitated. Someone can only take you as far as they themselves have been.

I built what I couldn't find. Now I get to build it with you.

“Working with Rachel is incredible. I can feel more aware of who I’m becoming. All the harder edges I had are softening.”

— EMILIE

What it’s Like to Work Together

Precise. Present. A little unexpected. Rachel brings the analytical rigor of someone who has spent years asking hard questions alongside the spaciousness of someone who has done the deep work herself. Sessions are both held and rigorous — you'll feel met, not managed.

She has lived every layer of what she facilitates. She carries a rare dual intelligence — the analytical and the energetic in the same body. She brings humor and edge into a space that usually takes itself too seriously. You will feel like yourself in the room.

Expect to be seen. Expect to leave with more capacity than you arrived with.

What Rachel Stands For

  • Everything here is lived, not performed. If it isn't real, it doesn't belong.

  • The work has to be lived before it can be offered. Someone can only take you as far as they've been themselves.

  • Every person carries their own innate intelligence. The work reconnects people to it — it doesn't replace it. I never want to be your guru.

  • Life can be unimaginably, unreasonably amazing. Most people are living a fraction of what's possible. This work changes that.

  • Not a policy. A felt experience. You don't earn your place here. You already have it.

  • One regulated nervous system ripples outward. Doing your own work is one of the most generous things you can offer the world around you. Self care is not selfish.

Rachel’s Primary Modality

Spinal Energetics is a clinically grounded somatic practice that works simultaneously with the spine, nervous system, and energetic field. Through precise, low-force — and sometimes non-contact — input, it invites the body to complete what it already started. What often follows is spontaneous movement, shifts in breath, unexpected release, or a quality of stillness that feels genuinely different from just relaxing.

This is your nervous system reorganizing. Not being fixed — reorganizing. There's a meaningful difference. And it's the core of everything Rachel does.
