Little Seed Holistic is a welcoming, inclusive, and bespoke bodywork and therapeutic practice located in the vibrant town of Manchester, Southern Vermont. Founded by bodywork and perinatal specialist Rachel Krauss. Offering sports & therapeutic massage, pregnancy massage, light therapy, sculpting facial massage, exercise programs, and yoga.

With over fifteen years of experience, I have built a trusted and growing client base, including professional and college athletes, individuals experiencing trauma and chronic pain, as well as those who are pregnant or newly postpartum. I have extensive experience as a bodyworker both in the US and the UK.

I utilize a broad range of therapies in my work including sports and therapeutic massage, pregnancy and postpartum massage, yoga (including pregnant and postnatal yoga), corrective exercise classes, sculpting facial massage, light therapy, and specialist perinatal support such as lactation counseling, tongue-tie assessment, and support groups.

I specialize in supporting individuals to help them stay pain-free, maintain range of movement, improve physical function, and remain physically resilient. Central to my work as a massage therapist, is offering bespoke treatments that take a holistic approach, bringing you targeted, effective treatment within a supportive environment. My goal is to help you to build long-term strength and mobility in a sustainable and accessible way. Excellent links to other practitioners in the area, including chiropractors, acupuncturists, kinesiologists, midwives, bodyworkers, and therapists, provide you with the opportunity for complete 360 care at the highest level. I work with a small number of regular clients to ensure a high level of personal attention and care. Each bespoke treatment session includes several techniques so that you will receive the best possible outcome. I blend a wealth of techniques, including Soft Tissue Release (STR), Myofascial Release (MFR), Neuromuscular Technique (NMT), Muscle Energy Technique (MET), and Deep Tissue Massage. Additional tools, including a Theragun, Side Kick Muscle Scraper, Celluma PRO, Theracane, Myofascial Ball, and Foam Roller, are available to enhance your treatment.

My previous experience includes many years working as a Psychotherapist in the UK, where I specialized in working with trauma. I have worked with charities, schools, and private clients to provide therapeutic support. Currently, I offer a wide range of sessions with individuals and groups during pregnancy and postpartum. These are designed to help you experience a more confident, comfortable, and joyful journey through your pregnancy and beyond. The importance of high quality perinatal care was particularly highlighted during my own experience into motherhood back in 2020, both in terms of physical and emotional support. I offer excellent perinatal care utilizing expert knowledge in bodywork, trauma, breastfeeding, exercise, and yoga to provide a holistic and individualized package of support to pregnant people, their partners, and new parents.

Little Seed Holistic is a proudly inclusive business. Pregnancy and postpartum services are available to all parents.
