Where Safety Meets Release 🌿

Over the past few years, many of you have come to know me through RAPID NeuroFascial Reset and my passion for helping people navigate pain that just doesn't seem to let go.

That passion hasn't changed.

What has changed is my understanding that no two nervous systems are the same.

Some people need direct input. Movement. Change. A disruption to a pattern that has been stuck for months or years.

Others need something different at first.

They need a space where the body feels safe enough to soften.

Safe enough to breathe.

Safe enough to let go.

This is what led me to further my education in Craniosacral Therapy and begin exploring a more integrative approach to care.

Moving forward, my treatments may look a little different depending on what your body presents that day. While RAPID remains a foundational part of my practice, I now have additional tools to support those experiencing chronic pain, headaches, TMJ concerns, stress, nervous system overwhelm, post-concussion symptoms, and persistent patterns of tension.

You may notice some changes within my booking system as new offerings become available, including Craniosacral Therapy and the Stillpoint Facial (this one I am excited to welcome - this will be the calm for both, the client and myself).

These services are not intended to replace RAPID therapy or therapeutic massage, but rather complement them ~ creating more options for individualized care and allowing me to meet each person where they are.

Because sometimes healing comes through release.

And sometimes healing begins with safety.

🤍

If you have never tried Sarah Swinamer RMT / Microneedling facials - you must! 🌿

More than a facial...

My Therapeutic Facial combines restorative skincare with therapeutic massage techniques to help reduce stress and tension while supporting healthy, glowing skin.

This 60-minute treatment includes:
• Gentle cleansing
• Warm towel compresses
• Professional serums and moisturizer
• Facial massage
• Scalp massage
• Neck massage
• Arm and hand massage

The massage component helps relax tight muscles, improve circulation, and ease tension held in the face, jaw, scalp, and neck. Improved circulation supports healthy tissue function and leaves the skin looking naturally refreshed and radiant.

Depending on your skin's needs, gentle enzyme exfoliation or a hydrating treatment mask may also be incorporated into your session.

Perfect for anyone experiencing facial tension, jaw tightness, stress, headaches, or simply looking for an hour to relax, restore, and recharge.

As this treatment is performed by a Registered Massage Therapist, it may be eligible for coverage under some extended health benefit plans.

One year ago on May 31st, this space was still known as Compass Rose Salon - and while I’m grateful for where it began, deep down I knew my vision for the space was something different.

I envisioned a place that felt grounding. Calm. Welcoming. A place where different practitioners could come together under one roof and support people in meaningful ways - not just through beauty or treatment alone, but through connection, wellness, nervous system support, and genuine care.

Over the last year, Cedar & Sea Wellness Collective has slowly unfolded into exactly that 🌿

What started as an idea became a collective of incredibly talented women, each bringing their own gifts, specialties, and energy into this space. Together, we’ve shared long days, growth, learning, laughter, support, and so many conversations with the beautiful people who walk through our doors.

To everyone who has practiced under this roof over the past year - thank you for helping shape Cedar & Sea into what it is today 💕

And to our clients, friends, family, and community - thank you for supporting local, trusting us with your care, and growing alongside us.

Different practices. Shared values. One collective.

Here’s to one year of Cedar & Sea 🎉🤍

The past 4 days were filled with learning, connection, and expanding our care 🤍

We are so excited to celebrate Jasmine Russ, RMT and Kristina Shannon, R.Ac on completing both Level 1 & Level 2 Craniosacral Therapy training!

Hosted at the Stretch Fairy Wellness Co and taught by the wonderful Janice, this experience deepened not only hands-on skills, but the understanding of the nervous system, presence, and gentle therapeutic care.

Craniosacral Therapy is a subtle, calming approach that works with the body and nervous system to encourage regulation, release tension patterns, and support overall well-being.

Kristina and Jasmine are incredibly excited for this new chapter within their practices and look forward to thoughtfully integrating these teachings into the care they offer at Cedar & Sea Wellness Collective.

A heartfelt thank you to Shaelyn for providing a such a warm, safe, and inspiring learning environment over these past few days and to Janice for the knowledge/teachings and the space she held for us. ✨

A space created for slowing down.

For nervous systems that need a reset.
For bodies carrying too much tension.
For moments of quiet in the middle of busy lives.

This room is home to massage therapy, RAPID NeuroFascial Reset, and microneedling treatments here at Cedar & Sea 🤍

Meet Murphy & Mikko ~ the two four-legged faces you may occasionally spot around the studio.

Murphy, is nearing 10 months old and still very much a little jelly bean when meeting new people. He’s currently learning the ropes of studio life and is happiest relaxing in his designated nook, quietly watching momma work nearby.
He’s highly motivated by treats, tricks… and offers many kisses when accepted.

Mikko, on the other hand, may offer a bark and proudly present a toy when new people walk through the door, but beneath his “security detail” act is the gentlest old soul. As a senior boy, he prefers staying close to his momma and is only around while she is hard at work.

Creating a space that feels warm, welcoming, and human has always been part of Cedar & Sea ~ and these boys have naturally become part of that atmosphere too

Cedar & Sea was inspired by a feeling I couldn’t shake after time spent among the cedar forests of BC - grounded, calm, connected.

And somehow, paired with the ocean I’ve always called home here in Nova Scotia, the name just fit.

Cedar became the grounding.
Sea became the flow.

Together, it represents the kind of space I wanted to create - one rooted in healing, connection, and care.

In the end...

The cedar came from the west coast.
The sea came from home. 🌊🌿

- just a gal that's feeling a little home away from home-sick
