Saskia Rego Testimonials

The centre was always warm and inviting. Saskia has been a pleasure since day one. Her warm smile, personality and friendliness always lead to a positive experience.

Saskia with Hot/Cold Stone Massage: I had been receiving hot stone massage for quite a while before coming to Saskia. Her use of the stones was masterful, creative and totally relaxing. I love her use of the cold stones over the eyes (very refreshing) and stones between the toes (helps relax the feet incredibly!) Always a fabulous experience! Thanks!

I have been an active participant in a wide variety of body work for over 10 years from a variety of therapists. A few months ago I tried a therapeutic hot stone massage at the Centre for Soft Tissue Pain with Saskia. My intention was soley that of relaxation but I was very impressed with the combination of hot stone and therapeutic techniques. I left the treatment totally relaxed, an added bonus was a few sore spots I wasn't aware of were released. Saskia utilized the heat from the stones to loosen up the muscles and then massages you with the physical stones to deliver a deep therapeutic massage. If I was asked to pick a favorite part, it would be her use of contrast, the end of the massage is a neck massage using alternating hot and cold stones. A most wonderful combination. I highly recommend this treatment to anyone looking for just a little more than a relaxation massage and Saskia is a natural. I am looking forward to my next session.

Ode to Saskia

Bent forward, hips frozen
Hauling myself out of the chair
Sore and stiff.
To Saskia's room.

A Bach prelude in play
As I am relay
A saga of pain.

Warm tabled
Pillowed and blanketed
I start to breathe
The cantos.

Warm hands search
back, shoulder, hips.
Strong young hands and fingers
Slowly loosening, untieing, unravelling
Knots.

We discover that
“Bach in the Bath”
is just the key
for you and me
An internalized cadence.

Music sprinkles over
as continuous sound and movement.
Music without words blends with the
soothing motion of your hands.

One. two
Three and more
knots give way
Will I now sway?

Sore body smoothed
with touch, sound,
warmth, scented cream
All participate
to articulate
the joints
of this old lady.

A coada, finale
of head massage
Releases more—ah body and mind.
Take your time you say
As you sense me floating away.

A body, a life-long commitment you say.
Ah, ode to massage
I turn over, get up, walk straight.
Thank you from my body
and heart
dear, Saskia.
