Meet your Masseuse

Rachael Tanner

​

Soul Studio was founded by masseuse, artist and museologist Rachael Tanner, whose vision is to create a professional bodywork space within a beautiful, calm and thoughtfully curated and creative environment.​

​

Rachaels modalities and breadth of bodywork practice is very expansive, having completed training in Remedial Massage, Advanced Dry Needling, Lomi Lomi, Kahuna Bodywork, Zenthai Shiatsu, Yin Yoga, Trauma Informed Yoga, Meditation, Hatha and Vinyasa Yoga. ​

​

Drawing on this Bodywork background, as well as practicing as a Visual Artist and Cultural Researcher, Rachael has intentionally designed Soul Studio to feel less like a clinic and more like a sanctuary ~ where both clients and practitioners feel welcomed, supported and inspired to explore the body in all its cultural and historical landscapes. 

​

While Rachael continues to offer massage treatments at Soul Studio, her passion extends beyond her bespoke therapy practice. As a practicing visual artist and museologist, she is currently exploring themes around the transcendental body, trance states, yoga, ritual, and the cultural anthropologies and histories around bodywork as exploration towards healing and divinity. 

​

She is also passionate about community and the value of collaborative healthcare. This has culminated in time spent thoughtfully curating and working with 'Our Practitioners' to bring a varied, dynamic and exceptional team of services into the studio.

​Soul Studio Vision

At the heart of the vision for Soul Studio is to strengthen the connection between people, culture, community and country. Rachael believes in the power of somatic, ceremonial, visionary, and creative bodywork to heal, to educate, and to bring us home to our bodies, minds, hearts, souls and spirit.​ 

Rachaels' work offers a return to relationship with breath, with soul, with ourselves and one another. ​​​​​​At the core of the experience at Soul Studio, is a devotion towards embodied wellbeing, education, creative and cultural expression, yoga and mystic philosophy, and nurturing a healthy and vital community.
