Rachel English is a Certified Rolfer®, a Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner, and the owner of Form with Flow Somatic Integration Studio.
“I found Rolfing® after years of pain caused by a car accident. It was one of the only modalities I tried that gave me any sustained relief. In addition, over the course of the Basic Series, I could see and feel my body’s structures shift and my self-awareness deepen. I believe a large part of this success came not just from the hands-on techniques employed, but because it required me to be an active participant in my own healing process, rather than just a passive recipient. I gained more self-knowledge and self-agency as a result. I am excited to bring this focus on client embodiment and empowerment—along with Somatic Experiencing®'s powerful trauma resolution and nervous system regulation tools—into my practice in order to create unique Somatic Integration sessions tailored for each client.” -Rachel
Rachel received her Rolfing® certification from the Dr. Ida Rolf Institute® and her Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner certificate with Somatic Experiencing® International. She relocated to Missouri in 2021 after previously practicing in Minnesota. Both Rachel and Form with Flow are licensed by the Missouri Board of Therapeutic Massage.
Prior to launching Form with Flow, Rachel worked with community organizations for over ten years. She was committed to listening to those most impacted; working in solidarity from the bottom-up; creating continuous learning environments; and looking at the whole system. These lenses also inform her work at Form with Flow, recognizing that individuals are a microcosm of our society and vice versa. She envisions a future in which we all have the body, movement, and physical resources to be able to transform our traumas and past injuries and move into our best selves, both individually and collectively.
