We are excited to welcome Ella to the Okanagan Sage Wellness family✨

Ella grew up in the Okanagan, and she’s always had an interest in anatomy and learning how the body functions. This led her to her studies at the Okanagan Valley College of Massage Therapy.
Her approach to massage therapy includes using assessments to find the root cause of your pain and symptoms, providing individualized treatments, and recommending remedial exercises to help you continue improving from home.
Treatments may include techniques such as Swedish massage, deep tissue, Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization, and myofascial work.
Whether you’re seeking massage for stress reduction, pain management, or rehabilitation, Ella will provide a relaxing and supportive environment to help you achieve your wellness goals. She looks forward to helping guide you toward optimal healing, pain reduction, and improved functional ability.

You can find her in clinic on Monday mornings, Tuesday afternoon/evening, and Friday mornings. She’s in the process of setting up direct billing so patients will have to submit their own receipts for now.

Are you unsure of what type of massage therapy would benefit you the most? Here’s a quick guide to the different techniques and why you might choose each one:

Craniosacral Therapy – Gentle, rhythmic touch focusing on your head, spine, and sacrum. Perfect for stress relief, headaches, or tension that runs deep.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) – Light, precise strokes to help your lymphatic system flow. Ideal for reducing swelling, detox, or post-surgery recovery.

Myofascial Release – Slow, sustained pressure on connective tissue to release tightness and improve mobility. Great for chronic tension, posture issues, or injuries.

Deep Tissue Massage – Firm pressure targeting deeper layers of muscle. Best for chronic pain, athletic recovery, or stubborn knots.

Relaxation Massage – Gentle, flowing movements to melt stress away. Perfect for general relaxation, self-care days, or when you just need to unwind.

Prenatal & Postnatal Massage – Safe techniques for mamas-to-be and new moms. Helps with aches, swelling, mood, and overall comfort during this special time.

Infant Massage – Gentle touch for babies to support bonding, sleep, digestion, and relaxation.

💡 Tip: The “best” massage depends on your goals—whether it’s relaxation, recovery, or relief from chronic tension all the knowledgeable RMT’s at Okanagan Sage can help you choose the right one for you!

Spring Break: that magical time when our kids somehow have endless energy, the snack supply vanishes in record time, and we start questioning all our life choices.

Whether you’ve been refereeing sibling battles, surviving trampoline park chaos, or just listening to “I’m bored” on repeat—WE SEE YOU. We, too, are running on caffeine, deep sighs, and the hope that we don’t all get a new virus.

If your back is shot from carrying the weight of this break (or just from stepping on one too many Lego pieces), Okanagan Sage Wellness has your back—literally. Come in for a massage, escape the madness for an hour, and let us help you recover before the next round of HEY, watch this!

Common mistakes to avoid post massage👇🏻🛑

You’ve just had a wonderful therapeutic massage at Okanagan Sage Wellness… now what? Here are the top things to avoid so you keep feeling that post-massage glow✨

1. Skipping the Water
When muscles are massaged, metabolic byproducts, including lactic acid, can be released into surrounding tissues. Hydration helps flush these byproducts out of your system, reducing post-massage soreness and speeding up recovery. Dehydrated muscles may cramp more easily, so adequate hydration can also prevent muscle cramps or stiffness after a session.
2. Hitting the Gym
We know you’re feeling refreshed, but give those muscles a break! Jumping into an intense workout can strain muscles and undo the relaxation we just helped create. If you must, we suggest gentle walking and low impact exercises as a better alternative!
3. Returning to Stress Mode
Try not to jump right back into emails or a to-do list! Give yourself a few minutes to enjoy the calm. Let the mind unwind along with the body.
4. Overdoing the Coffee or Alcohol
Both caffeine and alcohol can dehydrate you, so if you can, reach for herbal tea or water instead to stay balanced and refreshed.
5. Skipping Your Stretching Routine
Light stretching can actually prolong the benefits of your massage, helping your muscles stay flexible and tension-free longer. Just keep it gentle and mindful.

After your next session, give yourself a little TLC so you can get the most out of your massage. Ready to book your next one? We will always do our best to take care of you at Okanagan Sage Wellness💜

Touch & Your Immune System: The Connection You Didn’t Know You Needed✨

Beyond just feeling good, touch has surprising benefits for your immune health too! Here’s how:

1. Decreasing Stress, Boosting Immunity
Chronic stress weakens the immune system over time, leaving us vulnerable to illness. But here’s where touch comes in! Studies show that massage therapy reduces levels of cortisol (the stress hormone), helping your body shift from “fight or flight” to “rest and repair” mode. When cortisol drops, your immune system gets a major boost, improving your body’s ability to fend off infections and heal faster✨
2. Increasing White Blood Cell Activity
Touch has also been linked to an increase in white blood cell activity—essential cells in your body’s defense team! A University of Miami study found that participants who received regular massages showed higher levels of natural killer cells and lymphocytes, which are both crucial for combating viruses and bacteria✨
3. Better Sleep = Better Immunity
Quality sleep is key for a strong immune system, and touch therapies like massage can improve both sleep quality and duration. This deeper rest helps the immune system regenerate, recharge, and be ready for anything that comes its way. ✨

So, the next time you’re thinking about skipping self-care, remember: a touch-based therapy like massage isn’t just for relaxation—it’s your body’s natural immune boost! Give your body what it needs, and let all of us at Okanagan Sage keep you feeling amazing all year round💜

🦇Scare away your muscle tension in between massage appointments with Epsom Gel!

Epsom gel, which contains magnesium sulfate (the same active ingredient as Epsom salts), offers several benefits for sore muscles:

1. Eases Muscle Tension: Magnesium sulfate is absorbed through the skin and may help relax tight or sore muscles, reducing cramping and stiffness.
2. Reduces Inflammation: Magnesium can have anti-inflammatory effects, which may help alleviate pain and swelling in muscles and joints.
3. Improves Circulation: Applying Epsom gel may increase blood flow to the affected area, helping nutrients reach sore muscles faster for quicker recovery.
4. Relieves Stress: Magnesium is known for its calming properties, which can help reduce overall stress and tension in the body.
5. Convenient Application: Unlike soaking in Epsom salts, a gel can be directly applied to targeted areas, making it more convenient and easy to use on-the-go.

While Epsom gels may provide temporary relief for muscle soreness, they work best in combination with other recovery methods, like rest, hydration, stretching and of course, massage ✨

Sold in clinic for $9.52 includes tax!
