I am Rachel Hathaway Cardillo. I am a licensed massage therapist and certified reflexologist. I am a daughter, mother of four, artist & student of life. I seek to experience regeneration and aliveness, and to share that with you through what I offer.
Ianua is a word in Latin, meaning a double-doored entrance, a threshold, doorway, or portal — a place of endings & beginnings, of choice, of stepping forward, of rebirth. It names the way I intend to hold space through my work.
about
is to provide a space for you to enter a deeply parasympathetic state — to share attuned therapeutic touch — to invoke the body's innate healing power — to invite the return of the flow of energy to stagnant areas — to assist you to access your own center and embody your soul more fully in this world.
Would you like me to serve you in this way?
my mission
“I believe in all that has never yet been spoken.
I want to free what waits within me
so that what no one has dared to wish for
may for once spring clear…”
—Rainer Maria Rilke
