Hello!
A little about me: I originally hail from the Interior, (I grew up farming), then lived in Calgary for a few years (where I worked in restaurants and went to university), and graduated in 2018 from Vicars School of Massage Therapy, before moving to Vancouver in 2019.
I have a Boxer Rottweiler rescue named Lily, I eat ice cream almost every week, and I love going to the gym and being active, cycling, walking Lily, and camping.
I take a deep tissue approach to massage, and like to integrate breathwork, stretch, heat and cold, and exercise. I give everyone suggestions for what can be done with what you have, and always like getting questions about how to dial in self-care and recovery!
I treat everything, and particularly enjoy when we can figure out how everything is connected! I try to educate my clients on what’s happening in their bodies so things make sense. Be prepared for some light anatomy!
I work with every kind of client, young and old, every level of fitness and ability, as well as pre and post partum, and I work on every part of the body!
If my schedule is busy, please put yourself on the waitlist, as appointments do come up.
I’m looking forward to meeting you!

Sabrina is a recent graduate of the Vancouver College of Massage Therapy and received her Registered Massage Therapist license in Fall 2025.
Before becoming an RMT, she studied Marketing at UBC and worked in advertising. After long hours at a desk, she turned to long-distance running and strength training to reset her mind and body. That routine slowly grew into a deeper curiosity about movement, recovery, and how the body adapts and heals. In her free time, she enjoys learning about exercise science and is continually inspired by how the human body responds when it’s given the right kind of support.
In her treatment room, Sabrina begins with listening. She aims to create a grounded, welcoming space where clients feel understood and more connected to their bodies. She understands how living with pain or recovering from injury can affect someone’s quality of life, and she blends manual therapy, movement strategies, and simple home-care education to help clients move through the healing process with more confidence and ease.
She speaks English, Cantonese, and Mandarin, and hopes to bring the benefits of massage therapy to a wide and diverse community.

I completed my BSc in Kinesiology at UBC before travelling to Cork, Ireland to get my Masters in Physiotherapy. Since I was young and up to today, I have been involved in sports, especially Basketball and Soccer. Working to heal my injuries when I was younger inspired me to want to help others with their injuries and teach them how their body works.
I believe that everyone is different and therefore tailor treatment towards not only the injury but also the individual. I use a combination of education, manual therapy and exercise for treatment. My goal of physiotherapy treatment is to get you back to the activities you enjoy most as well as reduce your chances for re-injury.
In my spare time I can be found on the Basketball court, Soccer pitch, or a field playing Spikeball. Otherwise, I enjoy spending time playing games with friends or working on my car.
