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 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.

A long term resident of Montana, Drea’s passion for all things nature based, along with a commitment to helping people connect to their bodies in a balanced way, forms the cornerstone of her practice. A graduate of the Massage Training Institute of Montana in 2017, she specializes in deep tissue, neuro -muscular therapy, myofascial treatments and Thai massage techniques. She also offers a unique body based modality called Somatic Experiencing, as well as Clinical Herbal consultations.

Somatic Experiencing is a gentle technique to release stored stress from the nervous system, whether derived from traumatic experiences or just day to day challenges. Grounded in neuroscience and sometimes called “the homeopathy of trauma therapies”, SE is powerful yet surprisingly gentle, and unprecedented in transforming lives for the better. Clinical Western Herbalism combines ancient wisdom with modern understanding of plant and human physiology to create thorough and effective plant based formulas. Indicated for conditions as far reaching as cold/flu symptoms, insomnia or anxiety, digestive issues, skin problems, chronic fatigue and immunity issues, herbal medicine can help your body adapt to life and function as the strong, resilient organism it’s meant to be!

In all of Drea’s modalities, she strives to create a safe, comfortable, and customized experience that will lead to an individualized treatment plan for each and every client. Rather than follow a prescribed outline for a session, Drea focuses on the individual needs, challenges and life circumstances of the people she treats, resulting in a satisfying and effective experience for all. 

Drea lives in Hamilton and has a small dairy goat farm. She enjoys gardening, hiking, paddle boarding and cross country skiing, as well as playing and listening to music. She has three wonderful boys who are the center of her world, and their family enjoys exploring our beautiful state as well as others, playing together and celebrating life whenever possible!

Adam Sears was raised in Missoula and has always appreciated being part of the vast Montana landscape. He graduated in the summer of 2020 from the Sacred Roots Massage School of Montana in Missoula. Adam views massage therapy as a way to build up and support the wellbeing of our community, one person at a time. He believes in providing a client-centered approach, with a caring, confident, and responsive touch to every client. Adam’s intuitive sense of flow, timing, and informed understanding of the human body translates well in his work with Deep-tissue massage, Myofascial Release, Swedish massage, and other soft tissue manipulation techniques. Back in 2017, Adam also earned his Master of Music degree in piano performance from the University of Montana. Being a pianist and private piano teacher has informed many aspects of his approach to massage therapy. Apart from working, Adam enjoys playing piano, cooking, foraging in the outdoors, woodworking, and living with his wonderful wife and dog in Stevensville, MT.

Until 2015 Wendy had a very successful career in the ever-hectic corporate world but got burnt out and desired a change for her well-being. So she ventured out and began a new and exciting career path to achieving a life balance and professional integrity.
While growing up, Wendy had oily skin and suffered from severe acne as a young adult, which initiated her quest to become knowledgeable about skincare. Having graduated from Florida Academy in 2018, she is thrilled now to be a licensed Esthetician assisting people with their individual skincare needs because she understands that when people look their best, they feel better about themselves inside and out. She continued her professional skincare education and was also a licensed Electrologist and Laser Hair Removal Tech.
Wendy has found that she enjoys inspiring, teaching, and empowering people to help heal themselves mindfully, emotionally, physically, and spiritually so they can live a more joyful and abundant life. She is proud to be a licensed Reiki Master Practitioner and Teacher, Heal Your Life Coach, Biofeedback Practitioner, and Crystal Healer. She is also very knowledgeable about other holistic modalities. 
During her time off, she likes reading, leisure time outdoors, watching true crime documentaries, learning new skincare techniques & other healing modalities, spending time with her family & friends, playing with her sweet Pomeranian dog Penelope, and drinking a delicious glass of cabernet.

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. Be well.
