Rebecca Farrell, LMT
Rebecca Farrell, a graduate from Clary Sage College, recently relocated to Bandon and is our newest Massage Therapist. Rebecca has a strong background in Western Medicine, where she spent her 20’s working as a Nursing Assistant and Surgical Technician in the challenging, local hospitals of Redding, California.
Rebecca is what some might call a ‘wounded healer’. When Western medicine failed to help her with her own injuries, it led her down a path of healing body work and energy medicine, which helped her bridge the gap between Eastern and Western medicine to help her body, mind and soul heal as One.
Offering a personal, in-depth understanding of how different trauma can affect our lives, she integrates personal physical touch with deep tissue and intuitive body awareness. When she is not at the helm in service to others, Rebecca can be found rejuvenating herself with her three sons in the great outdoors.
