Samuel Rudd

Hi, I’m Sam Rudd,

I work with busy professionals who carry high levels of stress and responsibility, often leaving them feeling tired, tense, and tight in their back, neck, and shoulders. Through my massage treatments, I help ease both physical and mental tension so you can feel more relaxed, recharged, and better able to take care of your health, stay active, and enjoy your hobbies.

My approach blends hands-free, remedial, and somatic massage to create an experience that’s right for your body. This may feel deeply relaxing and restorative, involve focused, tension-releasing pressure that is effective without being uncomfortable, or a combination of both. Each treatment is designed to support nervous system regulation, enabling the gentle, comfortable release of areas of holding and strain.

Before becoming a massage therapist, I worked in food system coordination and management, where I experienced periods of intense stress and eventual burnout. That experience led me to explore holistic health, the mind-body connection, and nervous system regulation more deeply. Around the same time, I also came to better understand my own neurodivergence, which has deepened my understanding of how day-to-day stress is experienced and processed by the body. This informs my work today, particularly in supporting clients who want to improve emotional regulation, self-awareness, and resilience through somatic bodywork.

Outside of my practice, I lead an active lifestyle and enjoy hiking, climbing, running, cycling, swimming, and snowboarding. Experiencing my own challenges with injury and posture has given me a deeper appreciation of how the body functions—and the importance of looking after it to keep doing the things I love.

If you’re dealing with persistent muscle tension, poor sleep, or difficulty concentrating, I can help you reset both mind and body. My treatments are designed to ease pain, calm an overstimulated nervous system, and help you feel more grounded, focused, and at ease in your day-to-day life—so you can get back to doing the things that matter most to you.

I work with busy professionals who carry high levels of stress and responsibility, often leaving them feeling tired, tense, and holding persistent tightness in their back, neck, and shoulders.

Through my holistic massage treatments, I help ease both physical and mental tension so you can feel more relaxed, recharged, and better able to take care of your health, stay active, and enjoy your hobbies.

I also provide somatic bodywork therapy, which explores nervous system mapping and regulation, cultivating reconnection and mind-body awareness, and body-centred touch therapy for emotional and mental processing.
