Hi everyone! My name is Faith and I graduated from Montana Skin Academy in Missoula in October of 2020. In my free time, I like to spend quality time with family and friends as well as being active. I grew up traveling the United States due to my dad being in the Marines for 20 years. I moved back to Stevensville in 2012 and I attended Stevensville High School. My love for skincare came from my journey with terrible skin; starting in college and progressively getting worse. After countless doctors visits, dermatology appointments, and thousands of dollars in product spent, I came to the decision I want to help others with their skincare goals as well.
Nothing is more important to me than helping others achieve their goals in revitalizing and maintaining healthy skin.  I love the process of assisting others with finding their inner beauty and bringing it to the surface through healthy skincare.  It is with a very grateful heart that I bring to you my very best and promise to deliver nothing but the highest level of care.  Your beauty and comfort is of utmost importance to me!  Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to serve you!  I look forward to building a long lasting relationship.  Come in, say hi, and let’s talk about all things skincare!

Kaitlin offers Craniosacral Therapy and Reiki which integrates physical and mental relaxation.   Craniosacral therapy is a light touch form of bodywork that helps to reduce blockages in the central nervous system.  It can help with sleep, muscle aches, anxiety, constipation, and slew of other ailments. Because of the lightness of touch the body is able to relax deeper, melting tension that can be tricky to release.  
Reiki is an effective technique that can help people to de-stress and rebalance, improving physical and mental health. Both modalities work to manifest the body's own ability to heal. Try something new and discover relaxation in a way you've never imagined. 

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!

Larri Ann recently traded in 39 years in the swamps of Louisiana for the beautiful mountains of Montana, and has decided that it is too beautiful to leave. Larri began her healthcare career in 2001 as a certified medical assistant. Finding the need to help the patients in a more direct manner, she attended massage therapy school in Louisiana. Since becoming licensed in 2008, Larri has spent her time performing bodywork primarily in chiropractic clinics. She has completed many continuing education units along the way, allowing her to employ a variety of therapeutic techniques to meet the client’s individual needs.  “(Montana) is absolutely beautiful and I look forward to meeting the locals and helping everyone along the way."

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!
