Raquel Araki, Chiropractic Student Intern
Raquel’s passion for helping people out of pain grew from five years as a personal trainer and strength and conditioning coach. From helping clients improve their physique and performance to assisting athletes in preparation for the NFL Combine, she found her greatest fulfillment in helping others feel and move better. These experiences inspired her to pursue chiropractic.
Raquel is completing her preceptorship with Dr. Dino Del Mastro and expects to graduate from Palmer College of Chiropractic’s Florida campus in February 2027. She values listening closely, building trust, and helping patients understand their bodies. Her goal is for patients to leave feeling understood, encouraged, and confident in pursuing an active and healthy lifestyle.
As she continues her clinical training under supervision, Raquel looks forward to building on her skills in diversified chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue mobilization, and individualized rehabilitation and performance programs.
