Rachel Thurner MSAOM, AOBTA-CP
Owner Whole Body Wellness Collective, Certified Asian Bodywork Practitioner
Rachel began her path toward integrative and oriental medicine while studying for her bachelor’s degree in nursing at the University of Texas at Austin. During her time in school she felt a pull toward alternative healthcare after suffering from a chronic illness leading to depression and anxiety. She began receiving acupuncture, herbal medicine and food therapy to treat her illness.
After her experience of healing through Chinese medicine, she felt compelled to study the medicine and attended graduate school at the Academy of Oriental Medicine at Austin to receive a dual masters degree in both acupuncture and oriental medicine.
After graduate school she and her husband relocated to Missoula and Rachel began Whole Body Wellness Collective. Her own path to self healing inspires her to share her story and the beautiful medicine she practices with others to begin them on their journey to their happiest, healthiest selves.
Rachel is trained in tuina, cupping and gua sha in addition to acupuncture. She is currently offering those services while she finishes her licensing for acupuncture.
When not at work you will find Rachel out hiking with her husband and three rescue pups or sweating it out in a hot yoga class!
