sarah houtman RMT
REGISTERED MASSAGE THERAPIST
(She/Her)
Available Tuesdays + Fridays
Sarah’s appreciation of our natural ability to heal and restore, continues to grow. What she loves about her work as an RMT, is not only that treatment provides a natural outlet to facilitate healing, but also the holistic effect of general well-being it provides.
By concentrating on the individual story each client and body has to tell – she uses effective and focused treatment combined with a calming atmosphere and presence. Her variety of techniques to achieve results include: myofascial release, trigger point therapy, joint mobilizations, deep tissue release and active/passive stretching. Her goal is to restore function for the long-term, along with tailored home-care for each individual to continue moving forward.
Sarah is a advocate of massage therapy and self-care as a major player in a wellness practice. She encourages you to find outlets that are restorative to continue outside of the treatment room. When Sarah is not practicing, her self-care rituals include playing guitar, surrounding herself with nature, creative projects and finding magic in the little things.

Mt Pleasant local’s tip: My Mt Pleasant local’s tip is to try out Rosemary Rock Salt. Their bagels are to die for! Their Steveston bagel is by far the best smoked salmon bagel I’ve had. If you are also craving a JJBean tea, they carry this in their location as well. Only a block up, it’s great to enjoy after a massage at our clinic!
Top self-care tip: Take the time for yourself to recharge, no matter what that might mean to you. Whether it’s hanging out with friends, being out in nature, or being by yourself for an entire weekend to catch up on laundry or cleaning your apartment, do what re-centers you and brings you back to being you.
Why Therapy Health Studio? The reason why I chose to work at Therapy Health Studio is because it immediately feels like a safe, warm and beautiful place to be. My favourite thing about the space is the decor of the clinic. It doesn’t have the typical “clinical” feel. It feels more like you are coming home to your awesome Main Street apartment where you get to re-center and provide your mind and body with self-care. When I am working in the space, I feel like this is exactly where I am meant to be. I am able to provide massage therapy to those who truly need it and the space allows me to be the best possible therapist I can be. When clients come in to the clinic, I want them to be immersed in the space that their in and to feel assured that we will provide them with a safe and effective treatment that tailors their body’s needs.
