I'm Sassia.

I guide folks to find the medicine within.

(pronounced Sasha — she/her)

I am a tensegrity medicine practitioner, bodymindspirit healing practitioner, and occupational therapist — in practice with pause, dreaming, remembering, playing, and listening to the messages of the body.

I guide folks to listen to and live in their own unique shapes, despite societal "shoulds" and the weight of unique life experiences. I love patterns, systems, and the connections between them. I am endlessly curious about: what our bodies are capable of, how we strengthen neural pathways of peace, how we change the language of healing to include every Body, and what can non-humans teach us about wholeness.

I am here to remind you of a deeper pause.

I have a background working with children and adults across a wide range of physical, cognitive, and sensory experiences — from infants to elders, from chronic pain to post-stroke recovery, from neurodivergence to trauma held in the body after violence, injury, grief, or medical harm. I am interested in how our environments and experiences create patterns and how tending to overcompensation’s, can restore function, ease, connection, and meaning.

In our time together, we will listen to what the body is saying. We will explore messages that arrive as pain, discomfort, or diagnosis. We will build skills, tend to daily rhythms, and create space for ritual, ceremony, and the roles that make life feel easier.

I started my private practice in response — and gentle rebellion — to what I witnessed as failures in healthcare, mental health, carceral, and school systems. I’ve always seen the gaps. The ways systems failed certain bodies, certain identities, certain people who deserved so much more. It is my lifelong work to disrupt systems of violence and move, rest, speak, and teach in the name of love — for myself, for you, for the collective us.

My practice currently includes: in-person touch work · distance energy work · community grief gatherings · I-Ching and tarot readings · workshops and embodied conflict resolution · healing justice and gift economy exploration

I embrace and love my multi-racial identity — Chinese, Japanese, English. I am always learning. I acknowledge that language is limited, and the words we use to describe ourselves and our healing will keep changing with the times.
