Meet Rahēle at the Clinic Peace
My path to helping others with headaches and pain started with my own struggles. I’ve experienced headaches since childhood, which worsened after two concussions in my teenage years. By 18, I had chronic daily headaches, relying on painkillers just to get through the day.
A turning point came when I decided to quit painkillers cold turkey. Later, becoming a mother inspired me to shift my career from medicine to physiotherapy—seeking a more hands-on, holistic way to help people. As I treated patients, I naturally gravitated toward headache and neck pain cases, refining my skills in both physical and emotional aspects of healing.
To deepen my expertise, I earned a Master’s in Headache Disorders and Facial Pain at the University of Copenhagen. This interdisciplinary study with neurologists, doctors, and pain specialists expanded my approach, reinforcing my belief that true healing requires a whole-person perspective—addressing lifestyle, stress, posture, and emotional well-being.
Yoga has also played a vital role in my journey. As a yoga teacher, I’ve developed specialized Yoga for Headache & Neck Tension Relief classes, blending Eastern and Western knowledge to guide people in managing pain naturally. Clients return again and again, finding relief through movement, breathwork, and self-awareness.
I see the body as a unified system, where balance is key. Healing isn’t about finding a “magic pill” but about understanding your unique triggers, making small shifts, and trusting the process. I believe that with the right techniques, mindset, and consistency, real change happens.
If you’re ready to take the next step toward healing, I’m here to guide you.
Frequently Asked Questions
What can I expect from a consultation with you?
Each person is unique, so our work together begins with understanding your specific pain patterns, lifestyle, and needs. In the first 4–5 consultations, we build a plan tailored to you. This may include exercises, lifestyle adjustments, self-care strategies, and, if needed, manual therapy. We monitor progress, making adjustments along the way to ensure you feel real, lasting improvement.
How often do I need to come for treatment?
It varies. Many people start with weekly sessions to establish a strong foundation. As symptoms improve—such as better sleep, fewer and less intense headaches, and a greater sense of calm—we adjust the frequency. Some continue every 2–3 weeks to maintain stability, while others transition to occasional check-ins when they feel the need. My goal is to empower you to recognize what works for you.
Do you only use physiotherapy, or do you combine it with other techniques?
I integrate physiotherapy with manual treatments, soft tissue relaxation techniques, fascia integration therapy, specific stretching and strengthening exercises, breathing techniques, and stress management strategies. I also offer Yoga as a therapy, especially for those struggling with chronic headaches, tension, and jaw pain. The combination depends on what benefits you the most.
I’ve tried many treatments for headaches. How is your approach different?
At Clinic Peace we look broad and deep to the problem—at posture, muscle tension, breathing patterns, stress levels, and even lifestyle habits. Together, we create a plan that is realistic, personalized, and effective for long-term relief. The goal is not just to manage pain but to help you feel healthier and happier.
Can Yoga really help with headaches and pain?
Yes! Specific Yoga practices, especially Yin Yoga, can help release tension in the neck, shoulders, and jaw, regulate the nervous system, and support pain management. I offer special Yoga classes designed for people with headaches, where we focus on deep relaxation, breathwork, and gentle movements that promote relief.
Do I need to have experience with Yoga to join your classes?
Not at all. My classes are accessible to everyone, whether you are completely new to Yoga or have experience. The movements are gentle, and I guide you through each step, ensuring that it feels safe and effective for you.
What if my headaches are stress-related?
Stress plays a significant role in headache frequency and intensity. We address this by working on nervous system regulation, breathing techniques, and mindfulness techniques Many of my clients experience a more peaceful mind, deeper sleep, and overall reduced stress levels as part of their therapy.
How do I know if this approach is right for me?
If you are struggling with headaches, neck pain, or jaw tension and are looking for a personalized, professional, and holistic approach, this could be exactly what you need. The best way to find out is to book an initial consultation, where we can explore what works best for you.
