Massage Therapy Symposium

Rachelle Clauson, BS, BCTMB, is a nationally board-certified massage therapist, educator, and author. She played a vital role as a dissector, photographer, and Director of Creative and Administrative Affairs for the Fascial Net Plastination Project (FNPP), a collaboration of the Fascia Research Society and Body Worlds from 2018 to 2022. Together, they created the first human, whole body, fascial-focused plastinate. She is the co-founder and co-director of AnatomySCAPES, a continuing education company aimed at educating bodyworkers about fascia.

Nicole Trombley is a massage therapist, writer, and educator. She brings her background in Biology and Biochemistry to AnatomySCAPES. She is passionate about making science and scientific research accessible in fun and meaningful ways to other bodyworkers. She’s always fascinated with what happens under our hands in a massage at both the cellular (micro) and tissue (macro) levels—it’s where so much of the massage magic happens! When she’s not at the massage table, you’ll likely find her deep in some rabbit hole in research databases or occasionally in the stacks at her local university library.
