Sascha has been a Registered Massage Therapist since she completed a comprehensive 3000 hour program at the West Coast College of Massage Therapy in 2004. Prior to having children, she enjoyed sharing her experiences and knowledge as an instructor, teaching assistant, clinic supervisor, and outreach supervisor at what is now called the Vancouver College of Massage Therapy.

In 2011 she was in a motor vehicle accident which left her with constant pain and daily headaches. It wasn’t until she started up with CoAT Method (Course of Applied Tensegrity) myofascial treatments, that she was able to gradually return to massage therapy, eight months after the accident. After experiencing such relief, she was sold, ditched the oil bottle and this technique has become the focus of her practice.

The fascia surrounds the entire body from head to toe, underlying the skin. It weaves in through the body and is often referred to as a 3D spider web, which surrounds and connects every structure in the body. From head to toe it connects membranes in the brain, to organs creating organ systems, which is continuous to ligaments and muscles. If you pull on one end of this web, it creates a pull to the other side of the web, traveling through the body. You can understand how myofascial release in one part of the body can liberate the whole system. In a healthy state fascia is able to stretch and move without restriction, but things such as surgical procedures as well as physical and emotional stress and trauma, repetitive motions or inactivity can cause a myofascial restriction within the body. These restrictions can lead to many symptoms such as pain and inflammation, nerve, blood, and lymph vessel entrapment/compression causing dehydration of tissues, asymmetry of the body, decreased muscle function and coordination.

Sascha has taken continuing education geared toward myofascial release, training in Craniosacral Therapy, CoAT Method, and Breast Care techniques for pre and post surgery, as well as mastitis and other issues in the breast tissue surrounding post pregnancy and post cancer surgical procedures.

Starting treatment in a seated position, it is best to wear shorts and a tank top, or sports bra for women. Sascha works with the body to create tension, in order to release restrictions, sometimes in areas other than where the pain is felt.

Sascha welcomes people of all shapes and sizes, gender and orientation. She enjoys the challenge of treating chronic conditions, post surgical scars, as well as people's daily tension.
