Take one breath with me

Healing begins in the nervous system. Tap the circle, and let’s do one slow round together. This is what the work feels like.

Tap to begin

A little medicine for today Before you get out of bed, take three slow breaths into your belly. You’re telling your nervous system it’s safe to begin the day.
Today’s question
What I do

Three arts, one pair of hands

Manual osteopathy releases what's stuck, kinesiology rebuilds the strength around it, and clinical Pilates keeps it there — so the results actually last.

Manual Osteopathy

Gentle, precise hands-on work that releases what has been holding you in pain — so your body can finally let go and move freely.

Clinical Pilates

Movement as medicine. Rebuild strength, control and grace from the inside out, guided breath by breath.

Kinesiology & Rehab

Science-backed movement that takes you from injured and unsure to strong, capable and confident again. ICBC active rehab available.

Concussion & Whiplash

Calm, graded recovery for whiplash and post-concussion symptoms, paced gently to exactly how you feel each week.

TMJ & Orofacial Pain

Real relief for jaw tension, clicking and facial pain, through skilled hands and targeted movement.

Craniosacral Therapy

Deeply quieting work that settles your nervous system and lets your body remember how to heal.

The whole body listens

Pain is rarely where it starts

Your jaw can pull on your neck. Your hip can speak through your knee. Choose a place that hurts, and watch how I trace it back through the whole body, so we treat the cause, not just the spot.

Choose a region to see how it connects through the whole body.
Start with where it hurtsTap a region and I’ll light up the connections I look for in your first assessment.

Saba's work is truly exceptional! Her treatment produced remarkable results in an incredibly short period of time. After living with chronic knee and back pain for six years, I experienced an improvement that previous treatments had not been able to achieve.

Hello, I am so glad you are here

You are the medicine.

Her story

From her own healing, to yours

After losing over 30 kg and earning a swimming championship while competing nationally in basketball and volleyball, Saba discovered her passion for fitness, rehabilitation and human movement. Her journey began with self-study, earning her ACE personal training certification with specialties in weight management and functional training.

Wanting to go deeper, she studied kinesiology at the University of British Columbia and became a Registered Kinesiologist, then trained as a Registered Manual Osteopathic Practitioner at the National Academy of Osteopathy. As a certified Pilates instructor, she weaves Pilates principles through her rehabilitation work to build core strength, mobility and postural alignment.

Her further training spans nutrition, myofascial release, rehabilitation and high-performance coaching, and she has worked with everyone from semi-professional athletes to pregnant clients, diabetics, and people recovering from spinal cord injuries and accident-related trauma. A firm believer in the mind-body connection, she brings mindfulness, breathwork and body awareness into every session. Her mission is simple: personalized, evidence-informed care that helps you live a healthier, more connected life.

Common questions

What is manual osteopathy?

Manual osteopathy is a gentle, hands-on therapy that treats the body as one connected system. Rather than focusing only on the painful spot, it works with the muscles, joints, fascia and nervous system together to ease restriction, restore movement and support the body's own healing.

How is it different from massage or physiotherapy?

Massage mainly relaxes soft tissue, and many therapies focus on one area. Manual osteopathy looks at the whole body to find why the problem keeps happening. Saba then combines it with kinesiology and clinical Pilates, so the release is rebuilt with strength and kept with movement — which is why the results tend to last.

What is a kinesiologist?

A kinesiologist is a university-trained movement and exercise specialist who uses active rehabilitation and corrective exercise to help you recover from injury, manage pain, and move well again.

What happens in a first session?

Your first visit is a relaxed, thorough assessment. Saba listens to your story, looks at how you move, and builds a personalised plan — so you leave understanding your body, with clear next steps.

Where is Saba Therapy located?

Saba Therapy is in North Vancouver, BC at 890 Harbourside Dr #140. All sessions take place here at the clinic, a calm and private space.

Do you work with ICBC and extended health claims?

Yes. Saba is an ICBC-approved provider and offers active rehabilitation for motor vehicle injuries, including whiplash and concussion recovery. She also works with most extended health plans, and is happy to help you understand what your coverage allows before you begin.

How many sessions will I need?

It depends on your body and your goal, and you will never be locked into a long plan. Many people feel a meaningful shift within the first few visits. Saba builds the plan with you and adjusts as you progress, so you are always clear on why you are coming in.

Will the treatment hurt?

No. Manual osteopathy is gentle and precise, and the movement work is paced entirely to how you feel. Nothing is forced. The aim is for your body to feel safe enough to let go, which is when real change happens.

Where will my sessions take place?

All sessions take place at the North Vancouver clinic, a calm, private treatment space at 890 Harbourside Dr #140, with everything needed for hands-on osteopathy, kinesiology and clinical Pilates in one room.

What kinds of problems do you help with?

Back and neck pain, jaw and TMJ tension, headaches, whiplash and concussion recovery, sports and overuse injuries, posture, and the lingering aches that other treatments have not resolved. If you are not sure whether she can help, reach out and ask.

What should I wear?

Comfortable, movement-friendly clothing you can relax and move in. That is all you need to bring.
