Sarah Cicchine BKin, RMT

Registered Massage Therapist and Birth Doula

Hi, I’m Sarah! (she/her)

For as long as I can remember I have had a keen interest how the body functions and BIRTH! Growing up I was obsessed with watching TLC’s A Birth Story. I’m that person in a group wanting to hear everyone’s birth stories and talking about pregnancy. My desire to learn more about the body led me to a career as a Registered Massage Therapist, which I have been practicing for the past 13 years. My passion and focus lies in prenatal and postpartum care. 


It wasn’t until I chose to have a doula for both of my sons’ births that I realized how invaluable a doula’s presence was in labour, birth and the postpartum experience. I knew I wanted to learn more and be able to educate and support others so that they can have a positive and empowered birth experience. Combining my massage therapy practice and knowledge with doula work gives me the skills to support my clients in exceptional ways. 


Outside of massage and birth I love traveling (especially to Japan), being in the mountains, skiing and trail running. I live in Nelson with my husband and two sons and our dog, Nimbus.

Massage Therapist and Doula. Full-on pregnancy and birth nerd. I am your one stop shop for everything birth, postpartum and beyond!

Kind Words

“I would highly recommend Sarah! She has an inquisitive approach and gets down to the root of the issue in the interview process. She focuses on why you are there and I always leave feeling relieved and relaxed. Professional and friendly, I always feel welcome and comfortable in her space. Go see Sarah, you won’t regret it!”— Holly

“I highly recommend Sarah’s services whether you’re an expecting or postpartum mama or just looking for a therapeutic style massage! As a fellow RMT, I really appreciate her deep tissue massage when necessary, while also adapting to lighter massage when I need that most. She also went out of her way to share resources & support me during times of need in my pregnancy <3 it’s apparent how passionate she is for her work & I always feel well cared for on a holistic level whenever I leave her treatment room!” - Chelsey

“Sarah is a true gem. Both my husband and I go to her for massage therapy, and we always leave our appointments feeling cared for and relaxed. We are so grateful that she is our RMT and highly recommend her.”- Sarah
