My name is Kristin Joiner and in 2020 I was able to fulfill a lifelong dream by graduating from the Massage Training Institute in Kalispell, MT and becoming a licensed massage and neuromuscular therapist. I love bodies, of all shapes, sizes, and colors! Bodies are all so similar and all so unique, and I have always been fascinated at how each part works as part of the whole. I have always had a passion for people, feeling a calling towards healing and wellness.
I moved to Dillon, Montana in 2002, since then, I have spent much of my adult life working in healthcare: in group homes, nursing homes, clinics, and hospital facilities.
Over that time, I have come to understand that I am an empath. It is this keen ability, to feel and understand those around me, that gives me a special opportunity to play an integral role in the healing of others.
While I am not in the therapy room, I enjoy spending time with my partner and border collie in the mountains at my most favorite past time of all: hot springs, enjoying all the medicinal qualities Montana's waters have to offer!
Joining my knowledge of the healthcare system with my therapist's touch, my hope is to help develop real wellness in the people in the community around me here in the Bitterroot Valley.

Montana has been home to Ceressa for the last 12 years. She has a background in healthcare, having worked as a medical assistant for 10 years before she felt a calling for something more holistic and found her passion in massage. She finds fulfillment in providing pain relief, relaxation, and stress reduction for her clients. She aims to enhance the health of her clients’ bodies with the use of compassionate touch and her intuition to create an integrated and personalized massage each time. Graduating from Sacred Roots Massage School in Missoula, Ceressa enjoys performing Swedish massage, hot stones, cupping, and deep tissue techniques. She is also a member of Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals. When she is not working on bodies, you might find Ceressa at home playing with her dogs, cows and chickens, gardening, or cooking. She also loves to take advantage of all things Montana has to offer with her husband and son: camping, hunting, dirt biking, fishing, snowmobiling, paddleboarding, hiking, playing softball and volleyball. Ceressa looks forward to meeting you and the opportunity to serve you!

Welcome! My name is Rachel, and I graduated from Montana School of Massage in Missoula in 2004. My incredibly rewarding bodywork career has taken me from Montana to Europe, through the south, and back. After settling in Stevensville in 2017 and tiring of asking clients to wait two weeks for a massage, or wish them good luck as they try to find a therapist with openings, I opened Sabai in June of 2020. It is my wish that you are able to get on our schedule without the wait, as well as find a therapist to connect with and create or maintain a wellness plan that is designed for you individually. I encourage you to try each of our therapists, and experience the differing techniques that each employ so that you are able to experience all of the talent that the diverse therapists have to offer here. While I am no longer taking clients, I am always available to talk massage with you, or just stop in to say hi!
