Cassandra Shkrabuik, Registered Massage Therapist

Picture
 Cassandra graduated from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy in 2012 and practiced in Victoria BC until September 2020.
Cassandra's hands on experience has rounded her treatment style to include muscle energy work, Clinical Somatics, fascial release, and deep tissue as needed. She enjoys working through the process of recovery and is always open to working in new ways to reduce her patient’s symptoms. Cassandra has significant experience working with posture, pregnancy/post partum, sports injuries, TMJ issues, frozen shoulder and S/I joint issues.

 She enjoys working in conjunction with other modalities for the best outcome possible and promotes booking same day with other therapy modalities to get the most out of a treatment.

 Massage is for all shapes and sizes and there is no issue that should be brushed off as “just age” or “normal for me”. Just like any other personal upkeep, massage can be a pleasant time out from the daily grind while being beneficial to your mental and physical health.

 Cassandra works towards balance in all aspects of daily life, both inside and outside the clinic. She uses this philosophy to fit her after treatment “homework” to her client’s lifestyle. Strength, stretching, awareness exercises, and breathing exercises all have the potential to be adapted into busy schedules. Recovery, maintenance, and prevention do not always need to involve a gym.
