Soma Studio West - Trafalgar Street

Soma Studios Owner and Manager, also a RMT and yoga teacher. Lori’s vision for Soma has always been to create a comfortable place with warm-hearted, gifted, qualified therapists providing professional service and good advice.

A team of passionate therapists who love helping and healing people. Our practices set the standard for massage therapy in Vancouver. In the end, we want to improve the lives of the people who live in our communities.

A licensed Acupuncturist (R.Ac), her training was obtained at the Tzu Chi International College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Vancouver, BC. She offers a personalised, integrative approach that focuses on building strong connections with clients to address both the symptoms and underlying causes of chronic health concerns. Jade’s interest in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) stems from her personal experience with Rheumatoid Arthritis during early childhood and adolescence.

Her curiosity to understand the root cause of pain and dysfunction in the body keeps her practice ever-evolving. Sarah looks at the body globally and combines her interest in eastern modalities with western evidence-based techniques for a therapeutic and relaxing experience. Sarah is passionate about working with chronic pain issues, empowering clients through education by bringing to light subconscious holding patterns in the body and how they are inherently interconnected.

I discovered massage therapy through my own journey to recovery through personal injury. This process has been deeply intertwined with the development of a dedicated yoga practice and studying somatic movement therapy. After completing a yoga teacher training in 2011, it was clear that the next step was entering the health care field through massage therapy.

I’ve always held an appreciation and understanding of the human body, what it’s capable of and its innate capacity to heal. Through breath, self education and practising body awareness we tune in and find our own rhythm which is conducive to healing. Most of my career has been dedicated to practising in Luxury Spas and Ski Resorts in Colorado, Banff and Valemount working with athletes and those who share a love of the outdoors.
