​​Hello! My name is Savanah Winddancer Schafer.
I am a Licensed Massage Therapist based in Missoula, MT.
I am also a German New Medicine Guide (learn more here).​​
​
I believe all healing potential lies in our ability to meet ourselves, each other, and this unique moment in time exactly as they are. It is through this foundational framework that...
​
​
​
​​​​
The only experience we have of time is in this now moment. There is little we can do for ourselves if our focus is stuck in the past or future. As a massage therapist, my ultimate goal is not just to get you out of pain, but also to guide you in expanding your relationship to your body and your existence. I am here to help you receive your body's messages in a way that feels safe and to offer resources that make it easier to respond to your body in a gentle way.
​
Because when your body feels seen and respected, it no longer needs to try and get your attention.​
This work is gentle but precise.
​
As we learn to become present, incredible benefits naturally begin to unfold.
Such as:​
-liberation from physical and mental stress
-easing of physical pain and tension
-improved sleep
-easier breathing
-nervous system healing
-access to repressed memories and feelings
-lucid dreaming
-transcendental experiences
-enhanced clarity and focus

-greater safety and trust
-contentment, fulfillment, and joy
-strengthened interpersonal relationships

-heart openings
...and much more!!
​
In my massage work, I draw from a diverse range of modalities, including Swedish massage, Biodynamic and traditional Craniosacral Therapy and Thai massage. My offerings are especially beneficial for those who are ready for real change, not just on the physical level, but on the mental/emotional, energetic, and spiritual levels as well.
​
My practice is rooted in themes of self-sovereignty, freedom, love, tenderness, kindness, compassion, and the transmutation of shame. I strive to create an inclusive and non-dual space for my clients, and to foster an environment where they feel safe to explore and embrace all aspects of themselves.
​
Through various teachings and experiences, I have developed a profound belief in the interconnectedness of physical pain with emotional and energetic states. Embracing a holistic approach to health, I advocate for self-intuited healing, recognizing each individual's innate capacity for accessing deeper wisdom.
My role is not that of a healer, but rather a facilitator and companion on your journey toward self-awareness and inner resonance.
​
Choosing to prioritize one's well-being is not always easy or straightforward. There is a tendency in our culture to put off caring for ourselves until we are in crisis or severe pain. I encourage you to consider that you deserve to be seen, heard, supported, and cared for at all times and in all ways. I am committed to supporting you on your path of healing and self-discovery.
