Gratitudes : some words and memories from moms who I have worked with since 2015 ❤️🌷

“Sally’s baby massage class was wonderfully informative and structured—and a really fun way to meet other new parents. I find myself turning back to the booklet she created for us several times a week as I grapple with the common baby issues we went over during the course: cold and congestion, gastro problems, teething, and trouble sleeping. Massage has become a daily ritual for baby and me, and has been a beautiful way to bond and to help her feel healthy and secure. I’m so grateful for Sally’s generous teaching style and for the invaluable insights into how touch and acupressure can make all the difference. 

Having Sally to turn to in my immediate postpartum period was a huge comfort. She massaged me once or twice a week in the first month after I gave birth, helping me to integrate my labor, destress, and combat the bodily tensions that can quickly pile up in new motherhood. I felt absolutely rejuvenated after massages with her—she always knew just how and where to touch—and she accommodated the baby, too, who often nursed as I was treated. We began every session with some talk time, during which I asked tons of questions and Sally provided essential support. She’s a well of information when it comes to newborn care and to the postpartum period—we discussed everything from baby’s reflux to my own nutrition—and I don’t see how I would have survived those first weeks without her! I would really highly recommend Sally as a massage therapist and/or postpartum doula to new mothers. The mix of physical and emotional care she provides is incredible. And I still regularly message her with questions and receive warm, thoughtful, educational responses every time.” ~ Hillary Brenhouse

“ Pouvoir connecter avec son bébé est un moment magique, et Sally est la parfaite accompagnatrice pour créer ce lien : à travers le cours de yoga post natal, dans lequel la nouvelle maman peut retrouver les sensations de son corps tout en partageant ce moment avec bébé; mais aussi lors d’un cours de massage pour bébé, pour cette fois ci permettre à celui ci de mieux se sentir dans le sien. Mon bébé et moi avons eu la chance de connaître ces deux cours, et la douceur de Sally nous a conquise !” ~ Anaïs Flanquart

“ Sally is a very knowledgeable, warm, and kind teacher and massage therapist. I would strongly recommend her to anyone who’s having a baby or has just had one. I routinely use quite a few of the baby massage methods from her workshop.” ~ Darya

“ I went to Sally for 4 prenatal massages and each one was fantastic. She always took the time to see how I was feeling physically and emotionally before the massage to make sure she could address my specific needs. She even offered TCM nutritional tips for my pregnancy that were total life-savers – especially in my first trimester! I have already recommended Sally to family and friends and will continue to do so. Her blend of acupressure and Swedish will leave you totally relaxed.” ~ Melanie Richards

“ I went to see Sally almost weekly in my third trimester of pregnancy, and only wish I found her sooner. I was feeling extremely anxious during that time in my pregnancy, both birth related and in general. Through acupressure and massage therapy, as well as yoga and thoughtful advice, she managed to decrease my anxiety significantly, relieve some physical discomfort and help me sleep better. To top it all off, I ask to see her the day after my due date to help induce labour through acupressure and I went into labour at 4am the next morning. Sally is amazing at what she does and an incredibly kind human being. “ ~ Kathryne LeBlanc

“ Sally nous a accompagnés pour la préparation à l’accouchement et durant la période post-partum. En tant que nouveaux parents nous avions beaucoup de questions et Sally a su y répondre avec bienveillance, ce qui nous a rassurés et donné confiance. Son aide fut très appréciée.” ~ Sandrine 

“ Over the years I have enjoyed Sally Lee’s support and healing expertise in the form of Yoga and massage, before, during pregnancy and postpartum. I’ve taken her baby massage course and sought out her postpartum doula services for my baby.

When I think of healers, Sally is one of the first people who to come to mind. She has a vast wealth of knowledge that complements her various skills and services.  WhenI I book for a massage, I also receive TCM information on diet, work life balance and concrete suggestions for over all well-being. She will ensure to answer all of my questions and she will follow up with me after a session. These aspects of healing go above and beyond the norm.  Sally is naturally a community oriented person, linking me to people and services in my neighbourhood. She bridges technique, care and community seamlessly. She is generous, flexible, kind, an excellent teacher, and skilled practitioner. 

I’m grateful to know her and confident to share her contact to everyone I know seeking support for themselves or their family.” ~ Sara Martin

Acupressure and yoga therapy have introduced me to the intricacy of the human bodies. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been known to have over 3500 years in medical history, including acupressure, acupuncture, cupping, dietetics/food therapy, herbology, massage (tui na), moxibustion, and scrapping (guasha). There are many TCM schools and clans of studies, and the most common ground of practice is the fundamental meridian philosophy and theory. Meridians are known as energy channels that connect energies (internal organs, hormones, functions, etc.) throughout the body. In an acupressure session, gentle to deep pressure is applied to the pressure point on the meridian as a form of stimulation in place of needles, in order to tonify/ disperse/ strengthen the energy flow of the meridians, allowing the body to attune itself and find its own balance in its own terms. Yoga Therapy is an amalgamation of scientific and traditional medicines into a healing practice based on the innate wisdom of the body and its energies. Through scientific studies in anatomy, physiology and psychology together with the traditional yogic values of asanas, chakras, breathing techniques, diet, yoga practices, and meditation, yoga therapy allows the trainer and trainee to align the structural as well as emotional bodies, so that the individual can attune, connect, aware of the patterns accumulated between the body and mind. The goal is to bring consciousness to these patterns and eventually creating perspectives to encounters difficulties. It has been fifteen years of artmaking at the time when I encounter acupressure study, meanwhile cultural and gender politics and community building have always been my point of reference. In 2011, I graduated in Masters of Fine Arts in Montreal. My thesis was a research and attempt to explore the relationship between pleasure and pressure in public spaces. I learned how to make inflatable art from a local inflatable artist, Ana Rewakowicz. I made from scratch with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) a transparent inflatable suit for a public intervention. The public can wear the inflatable suit and inflate it with a foot pump. From then on, it was clear to me that I needed to make a direct connection to my cultural roots, encountering acupressure study and TCM became a pivotal moment for me where the notions of art and the publics, healing and medicine collided and was set as the next goal. It is through my passion in art-making and process-oriented projects that has led me to acupressure. Since then, I work with folx of all genders and cultures, and continue to work with different groups of community clinics and organizations to bring acupressure and yoga therapy accessible to a greater public. I also offer new parents, caregivers and health professionals baby massage course, integrative birthing workshop for couples, and TCM workshops to continue to share my passion on integrative health approach. My intention is to restore and realign the body, mind and spirit, sharing my knowledge and passion on how the microbiome as a mirroring system to the external world that we live in, and understanding the internal eco-system where bacteria and antibodies find their ways to co-exist and build a healthy environment as a mirror to reflect the importance of (bio)diversity and acknowledgement of difference in a healthy society.
