About Rachel
Rachel Paisley’s original About page shares a career rooted in caring for physical and mental wellbeing. Born in Edinburgh and raised in Fife, she moved to Glasgow as a young adult to study and later made it her home.
She worked with herbal medicines and complementary health clinics before deciding to train in massage therapy in 2004. Following qualification, she also became a tutor and external examiner for a massage school.
Why both massage and mental health?
Rachel described noticing how ongoing physical discomfort could affect clients emotionally. This helped inspire a BSc in Health and training to become a Mental Health First Aid trainer.
Across these different areas of work, the archived site emphasises tailoring support to an individual’s aims and recognising that physical and mental wellbeing interact.
