I played sports as a kid; mainly volleyball, badminton, and basketball. My childhood was not typical as my dad is a performer, so I grew up juggling, riding unicycles, and walking a tight wire. In High school I got into martial arts. This all led me to the health and fitness industry.  I previously worked as a personal trainer and moved into Fascial Stretch Therapy three years ago.

>I love what I do because I truly enjoying helping people. Helping make a positive change in a person’s life is something I’m very passionate about. Throughout the years I’ve learned a lot to enable a better quality of life for myself, and I love sharing that knowledge with anyone who is interested!

My main areas of specialty are: functional posture and primal movement patterns, mobility, mindfulness/awareness, pain management, and overall well being. I improve my clients’ quality of life by restoring functional range of motion, increasing joint mobility (or stabilizing for the hypermobile), reducing pain, and improving performance. My focus is on long term sustainability so I put emphasis on teaching my clients how to maintain the progress we make in a session. I do that through teaching movement based stretching, foam rolling, muscles activation/strengthening, and corrective exercise.

Samantha graduated from the Professional Institute of Massage Therapist in April of 2021. She specializes in relaxation, deep tissue, and myofascial cupping.

Samantha grew up in Saskatoon and loved playing all sports, especially hockey and wrestling. After attending Walter Murray Collegiate where she was a trainer for both the junior and senior football teams, she decided that a career in massage therapy was for her.

She has also completed a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from the U of S where, during her studies, she worked with the Huskies Wrestling team as a student trainer.

Jessica’s treatments will be specific to each patient, whether that entails gentler adjustments, soft tissue work, or diversified adjustments to help her patients function and feel better. Jessica also has a special interest in treating patients with hypermobility and other connective tissue disorders.
