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.

Her career in healthcare started in 1985 as an emergency paramedic for the BC Ambulance Service. Experiences in this field sparked her interest to pursue more holistically oriented healthcare studies.
In 2003 she completed her training as a certified Shiatsu therapist; and in 2008 graduated as a certified craniosacral therapist, both through Langara College in Vancouver.
Agnes was introduced to the biodynamic approach to craniosacral therapy during her studies, and completed the foundation training in March 2012 with Bodyintelligence in Vancouver.

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.

continuously evolving and mysterious. Ever since she can remember Julie has been fascinated
with natural remedies, plants, energy and the universe at large. She believes healing is an
evolving concept just like forms of treatment and self-care.
Julie is thankful to have taken the Manual Osteopathic Therapy program at Tidal Elements in Vernon, through the Manual Osteopathic College of Canada. The program provided an expansive period of growth in knowledge and skills, integrating well with her massage therapy and holistic approach to healing. Julie’s toolbox holds a wealth of knowledge, over 20 years experience as a bodyworker, natural health, yoga, movement medicine and self development programs and studies. Most recently, Julie has expanded into somatic awareness, touch and exercises providing further opportunities to evaluate, explore and retrain patterns in the nervous system. Courses include Trauma Informed Somatic Intelligence, Trauma Imprint Repair processes and Hanna Somatic Exercises.
Julie takes every opportunity to breathe deeply, dance, hike, bike and immerse in the beauty of
the Okanagan. She looks forward to sharing her gifts and continuously evolving skills with clients at Tidal Elements.

Ross was drawn to massage therapy after an RMT helped him recover from a lumbar spine injury. He has gained experience working in spas and offering mobile massage prior to becoming registered.
Ross incorporates modalities such as swedish massage, deep tissue, myofascial release, joint mobilizations and trigger point therapy into his practice. His preferred area of practice is treatment of pain and postural distortions caused by regular day-to-day life. Treatments aim to address the discomfort and also the continual postures/activities that cause it.
Outside of the clinic, Ross enjoys exercise and tabletop games.

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 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.
I've had such wonderful experiences with Zabrina. She's so knowledgeable and intuitive - we go to deep healing places together.
What can I say - she's just amazing. Her talented fingers find all the spots that need help!
