Infrared Sauna

An infrared sauna visit is a deeply relaxing and detoxifying experience.

An infrared sauna visit is a deeply relaxing and detoxifying experience. The soothing heat penetrates deeply into muscles and connective tissues, helping to release tension, improve circulation, and promote overall well-being. Regular use can also enhance skin health, boost energy levels, and aid in the body’s natural detoxification process.

We highly recommend treating yourself to a sauna session before your next massage. The heat helps your muscles relax and warms up the body, making it easier for our practitioners to perform deeper, more effective work.

Appointments are booked in one-hour increments, allowing you to choose the perfect timeline for your heat tolerance and schedule. We suggest spending 20-45 minutes (depending on your heat sensitivity) in the sauna, and towels and showers are provided in-house for your convenience.

Relaxation massage is a soothing treatment focused on overall wellness, where practitioners use a variety of gentle to firm techniques, including smooth strokes, kneading, circular motions, light tapping, and gentle vibrations, to help you unwind, release tension, improve circulation, and promote deep relaxation. With focused attention, the therapist works to ease muscle tension, calm the nervous system, and create a sense of relaxation, leaving you feeling nourished and cared for.

This type of massage is ideal for those seeking a peaceful escape from daily stress. It not only alleviates physical discomfort but also enhances mental clarity. Additionally, it's a great option for individuals who don't have benefits or whose benefits have run out, as it is typically offered at a reduced rate compared to a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT).

Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic approach that integrates traditional hypnotherapy with mindfulness, guided visualization, cognitive behavioral therapy, parts theory, neurolinguistic programming, Reichian dis-armouring, and emotional release techniques. This comprehensive method allows clients to access and heal parts of themselves that have been previously blocked, promoting profound healing and personal growth.

During a session, clients remain aware of themselves and their surroundings, retaining full memory of each moment. The process is self-paced, safely guided, and influenced by each person's inner world, ensuring a deeply personal and transformative experience.

By understanding our own desires, past experiences, and vulnerabilities, we lay the groundwork for meaningful connections with others.

Sarah sees her clients as the expert of their lives and experiences, and sees her role as a support, catalyst, guide and companion in her client’s process. She offers the courage to swim in deep waters and cherishes the uniqueness of everyone’s journey.

Sarah works with those who wish to no longer be limited by the patterning, conditioning, stories, triggers, attachment styles and past hurts that have been interfering with who and how you want to be. She uses intuition to create a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore, heal and grow so you can live your preferred expression of self.

Sarah’s approach is Person Centred and draws from several different theories and modalities including attachment and family systems therapy, which focuses on the impact of our relational attachments, including caregivers and other primary attachment figures. Existential therapy which focuses on embracing the human condition, facing anxieties and discovering the freedom to choose how to live our lives with autonomy in any direction we choose. She also integrates our current understanding of neuroscience and uses tools from art therapy to assist the therapeutic process.

Sarah works with individuals, couples and those in multi-partner relationships.

Sarah holds a Diploma of Professional Counselling from the Vancouver College of Counsellor training.

Kirstin graduated from WCCMT Victoria in the spring of 2017. She started her practice in a spa environment, eventually transitioned into a clinical setting and finalized her experience in Victoria with her own private practice. She found herself in Nanaimo after making the decision to live a more quiet life and be closer to her family. With extended family spanning from tip-to-tip of Vancouver Island, she feels Nanaimo is the perfect place to call “home”.

Naturally drawn to holding space for her friends and family, Kirstin always knew she would end up working in the health-care field. Studying anatomy and having a hands-on career felt the most appealing, which led to Kirstin deciding to pursue massage therapy professionally. She enrolled in the massage therapy program just one year out of high school. She had to grow up quickly by keeping up with her studies, navigating living alone, and bonding with her peers of various age groups. She thanks this stressful and hectic time for making her into the dedicated and present practitioner that she is today. Kirstin's approach is grounded and holistic. She values meeting her clients where they are at, listening attentively to their specific needs, and providing a treatment that feels both therapeutic and deeply relaxing. She has taken care in learning about trauma informed communication, honouring the innate vulnerability involved with allowing a practitioner into your physical space. She hopes to create a space for her clients to slow down, be heard and feel taken care of. Kirstin has training in General Swedish Massage, trigger point therapy, craniosacral therapy and myofascial release. She enjoys treating chronic headaches and migraines, scar tissue, frozen shoulder, chronic muscle strains and stress. Over the years she has discovered that she finds a deep fulfilment in working with individuals who are processing grief, emotional burn-out, and PTSD. Kirstin has found a great benefit to the brain and body connection in her personal life and is happy to help others on a similar path. She has been told that her presence feels safe and non-judgmental, which allows the body to trust and lean into the emotional benefits of massage. In her down time Kirstin enjoys film photography, illustration, baking bread and going on neighborhood walks to smell the flowers and visit the local cats. She values her community and enjoys going to local shows and events. She aspires to become an expert at processing her film negatives at home, she's currently in the "mistake making" phase. Kirstin is excited to be a part of the team at Eleven Arrows and looks forward to serving her community.
