Reviews
This was my third session with Ross and i was as impressed this time as i was with the first two massages. He is excellnet - listens closely and then provides a really deep and effective massage. I will be back for certain - in fact, i have already booked my next session.
Always excellent service and a wonderful float!
I’ve worked with many counselling professionals over the years, but never anyone quite like Sara! This woman is a gift from God and had helped me and my family through some very traumatic life challenges. So grateful for her knowledge and experience.
I was very pleased after my massage with Ross Freeman-Marsh. I communicated to him exactly what I wanted worked on and he did just that. He also used the perfect amount of pressure. I look forward to my next appointment with him.

Registered Massage Therapy 60 Mins with Brooklyn Fuhriman
Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) in British Columbia are trained to: evaluate your health needs; provide an assessment of your specific soft tissue or musculoskeletal condition; predict the likelihood and/or timeline of your recovery; provide active (intense) or passive (gentle) hands on therapy; and through research, provide evidence-based patient education and remedial exercises. For first time visits, a minimum of 60 minutes is recommended as this allows the therapist to get a good understanding of what that the client is presenting with. It enables the therapist to work in the specific area that is creating an issue as well as look at other areas that could be contributing to the issue.

Grant Cross (R2)
TCMP, B.A., KIN DIP, PSYC DIP, MOT
Grant has been interested in health and wellness from a young age, as well as had a natural curiosity for the non-beaten path. After varied studies in his formative years—including two diplomas in Psychology and Kinesiology, as well as a Bachelor of Arts— he decided to pursue his calling to help others in their journey of healing. He is a Practitioner of Chinese Medicine and has completed the schooling for the Doctorate in Chinese Medicine from Pacific Rim College in Victoria, BC in 2021. His interests outside of education include: frisbee golf, snowboarding, and hockey—though he grew up playing any sport that was available, so he understands that there are different health needs for different sports. With an interest in sports, Grant has also had experience treating and training young athletes. Giving people the tools to reach their full potential is what Chinese medicine is all about, which is why young athletes can be rewarding to work with, as small changes make a large impact on the direction of their sporting careers.
Grant is open to treating a variety of conditions and folks from all walks of life at different aspects of their journey. Being part of a community is important to his career path. Focusing locally allows for a challenging workload where no two days are the same. Some conditions treated include: digestive, insomnia, high blood pressure, as well as pain related discomfort. He enjoys working with people one-on-one, in order to gain insight into their lives, which will help him give patients the best recommendations for their health. These recommendations vary from diet therapy, exercise therapy, cupping, gua sha, personally curated herbal formulas, and acupuncture. His approach is multifaceted and he uses a variety of diagnostic methods and tools, though all of which are deeply intuitive.

Jen de Bourcier (R1)
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist
Jen grew up in the Nicola Valley where she was steeped in the cycles of nature and the seasons. After meeting her husband while living on Vancouver Island for ten years, they moved to the Vernon area and raised 3 adventuresome children on a rural property outside of Lavington. They have a hobby farm and a large garden that she enjoys immensely. Jen values her close friendships and relishes the connection with the wonderful women in her life.
Over the years, Jen began to wonder about chronic symptoms she was experiencing. Brain fog, fatigue, anxiety, pain flare ups, skin flare ups, and nervous system dysregulation plagued her, and caused disruption to her life.
Jen happened to attend a Feldenkrais class and she glimpsed something her system had been looking for. She booked a one on one session with the instructor, who was skilled in Feldenkrais, touch and somatic modalities. The ensuing sessions supported her immensely, particularly towards nervous system regulation. Jen's journey back to regulation and herself began in earnest.
Through this experience, Jen came to know with certainty that Biodynamic Craniosacral therapy was the direction she wanted to go with her career. She graduated from the 2 yr. Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy training in Oct. 2024, and is currently in her 1st year of Somatic Experiencing training.
Jen continues to be fascinated and inspired by the breadth of Biodynamic Craniosacral therapy, and the impact it can have on one's wellness. She observes BCST supporting many of her clients in a myriad of ways. She looks forward to supporting you on your journey as well.

Craniosacral Session with Lana Blain, RMT
CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system - comprising the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. Using a soft touch generally no greater than 5 grams, or about the weight of a nickel, practitioners release restrictions in the craniosacral system, which has been shown to improve the functioning of the central nervous system, as well as many other systems of the body, such as digestive, musculoskeletal, respiratory, circulatory, and more. CST has also been shown to help with the physical components related to such somatic conditions as Post Traumatic Stress, depression and anxiety.
By facilitating the body's natural and innate healing processes, CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease, and has been shown to be beneficial for people seeking help with a wide range of healthcare challenges and symptoms including: Migraines, Headaches, Chronic Pain, Motor-Coordination Impairments, Central Nervous System Disorders, Orthopedic Problems, Traumatic Brain Injuries and Concussions, Alzheimer's, Spinal Cord Injuries, Scoliosis, Conception, Pregnancy, Birth, Pediatric Challenges. Learning Differences, ADD, ADHD, Autism and Sensory Processing, Chronic Fatigue, Emotional Difficulties, Depression, Stress and Tension-Related Problems, Fibromyalgia and other Connective-Tissue Disorders, Temporomandibular Joint Syndrome (TMJ) and Dental Challenges, Immune Disorders, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Post-Surgical Dysfunction, Sleep Challenges.

New Clients Only - 20 Min Required Introductory Free Phone Consultation with Naomi Sturtridge, RTC, BHSc - 20 minutes
Counselling / Somatic therapy is a form of counselling that includes working with the body in the counselling process. One of the goals of therapy is to release trapped survival energy from the fight-flight-freeze response from the body and nervous system. In addition to talk therapy, mind-body attunement practices such as mindfulness, breath awareness, guided imagery and sensory awareness exercises are used to help build awareness of the felt sense within the body. The counsellor guides the client through tracking the sensations in their body, and it is through this process that the energy of stress, trauma and negative experiences is able to be released. Somatic therapy focuses on helping clients to build resources within themselves to increase their capacity to self-regulate their emotions. Through developing awareness of the mind-body connection somatic therapy helps to release the tension, anger, frustration, and other emotions that remain in a patient’s body from past negative experiences.
Somatic therapy can be beneficial for:
· Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
· Anxiety
· Depression
· Grief
· Chronic Pain
· Trust and intimacy issues
· Self Esteem challenges

Yoga Therapy can help with chronic pain, neurological issues, musculoskeletal injuries, digestive issues, support for illnesses, respiratory disorders, skin disorders, burn-out, healthy aging and overall well-being.
Yoga therapy as the name implies, uses yoga techniques—postures, breathing exercises, and meditations to assist people towards a whole-person approach to healing. Depending on your needs, I will suggest specific breathing exercises, postures, and relaxation techniques.
A yoga therapy session starts with an initial assessment to figure out what your needs are. We'll identify health problems, assess your lifestyle and physical abilities, and create a treatment plan just for you based on your own goals. When the treatment plan is established, the sessions can be scheduled based on frequency.
How is Yoga Therapy different from attending a Yoga class?
Public yoga classes can certainly ease everyday aches, pains, and mood complaints. Yoga therapy, however, goes deeper since it is tailored specifically to the client. In Yoga Therapy, individuals can address physical, mental, and emotional concerns in a one on one setting.
A client usually seeks out a yoga therapist not for yoga instruction, but to get relief from some symptoms or a health condition that is troubling them. Instead of teaching the techniques of yoga, the focus of Yoga Therapy is on how the yoga techniques can improve the client’s physical health and overall wellbeing.
A yoga therapist is a yoga teacher who has completed additional training (at least 2 years)
As a Yoga Therapist, Sacha is certified by the International Association of Yoga Therapists after graduating from The Yoga Therapy Institute with an 800-hour Yoga Therapy diploma.

Zabrina Barteaux, RCST®, CHHP (R6)
After growing up in the wilds of northern BC, doing a lot of traveling and living for some time in the Edmonton area,
Zabrina moved to the Okanagan Valley in 2009 to attend a holistic health school in Kelowna, fell in love with the area and never left. In 2010 Zabrina chose Vernon as her home and began building her practice of bodywork and energy healing for horses and people. A lifetime horsewoman, her equine practice allows Zabrina to combine her love of helping horses with her passion for holistic healing, and also allows her many glorious days of driving around the beautiful Okanagan and beyond, while her people practice allows her to follow her path of supporting people in seeking health and healing. Zabrina is thrilled to now offer Biodynamic Craniosacral sessions at Tidal Elements, as she believes this modality has such a profound impact on the healing journey, and at helping us to live our best life. In her Intuitive sessions, Zabrina will custom develop a session based on client preference and which modalities come up as priority that day, for example a session may combine intuitive swedish massage and reflexology, or perhaps chakra balancing with reiki and emotional clearing, finishing with some tuning fork sound healing.
Zabrina is passionate about recognizing the roles of all our systems (physical, emotional, mental, spiritual) on our health and life, and also recognizing the gifts in an individual life experience, the resiliency of the physical body, and the magic and the mystery of the soul.
When not working Zabrina loves to practice hot yoga, hike, take care of her animals, study, get wonderful treatments from other practitioners, and enjoy the ride of life.

When not working Zabrina loves to practice hot yoga, hike, take care of her animals, study, get wonderful treatments from other practitioners, and enjoy the ride of life.

Reiki Master Zabrina Barteaux
Pronounced “Ray-Key” is a Japanese word for “Universal life-force energy.” This relaxation technique uses a light laying-on-of-hands for balancing, healing, and harmonizing the flow of energy through the chakras or energy centers. Reiki can assist the body’s natural ability to heal itself and can also be used to encourage personal and spiritual awareness or growth.
