Cassandra is a massage therapy student in her final year of studying at Vicars School of Massage. She believes that every person/body is unique; by offering gentle intuitive touch she will create a wellness treatment that is customized to you. Similar to a relaxation massage, a wellness massage uses a combination of Swedish and myofascial techniques; however, a deeper focus is placed on the mind body balance throughout the massage. With this technique, a holistic treatment is created to help support the natural healing prompts and processes of the body, and taps into the nervous system allowing for better function, overall wellness, and a deeper sense of relaxation.

As Cassandra moves through her education, she is finding herself becoming more and more passionate about the diaphragm (the main muscle of respiration), systems within the body and how they work together to create balance.

When Cassandra is not studying or massaging, you can find her getting creative in the kitchen or exploring nature with her husband and three daughters.
