Integrative massage therapy for fascia, breath, trauma release & nervous system healing.
Ali-Joy Cross, RMT, BFA, CCHt
Registered Massage Therapist — Vancouver & Hornby Island
My work is grounded in skilled, fascia-focused massage therapy — delivered with precision, presence, and deep respect for your body's intelligence.
I work by listening. To tissue tension. To breath. To the patterns your body holds and the places it resists. Each session unfolds based on what you need in that moment, rather than forcing a predetermined outcome.
This is a space for people seeking evidence-informed care that honors the whole system — physical, neurological, and emotional. Slow. Intentional. Responsive.
HOW I WORK
Each session is integrative and fascia-focused, drawing from:
Myofascial release and Anatomy Trains–informed fascial work
Craniosacral and biodynamic influences
Breathwork and guided visualization
Sound-based therapies
Evidence-informed manual techniques
Rather than applying a set protocol, I listen to what your body presents — sometimes deeply structural and precise, other times subtle, spacious, and quietly regulating.
This approach is especially supportive for chronic pain, nervous system dysregulation, trauma-informed care, and anyone seeking more than surface-level relief.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Before Your Session
We'll briefly discuss what's showing up in your body and what support you're seeking. This isn't a clinical intake — just a grounded check-in.
During Your Session
Sessions are slow-paced and responsive. I work with your nervous system, not against it. You're welcome to speak, stay silent, or shift positions as needed.
After Your Session
You may feel deeply relaxed, energized, or somewhere in between. Integration happens over the next 24–48 hours. Hydrate. Move gently. Rest if your body asks.
SESSION OPTIONS & PRICING
All sessions are fascia-focused, integrating myofascial release, breathwork, craniosacral influences, and evidence-informed manual techniques. Each treatment is responsive to what your body needs in that moment.
