Kassandra, the driving force behind Range Wellness Massage & Manual Osteopathy, infuses her work with an exceptional blend of expertise and heartfelt dedication. In 2022, she graduated from Vicars School of Massage Therapy with her massage therapy diploma, building on an already rich foundation. Previously, she honed her technical skills as a 4th class power engineer through NAIT and deepened her holistic practice with a 500-hour yoga and meditation certification from My Vinyasa Practice. Nearly two years ago, she furthered her commitment to healing by earning a manual osteopathy diploma from the National Academy of Osteopathy, and she continues to pursue growth with unwavering passion.
When she’s not working, Kassandra loves soaking up nature. You might see her cruising on a mountain bike, trying her hand at rock climbing, or enjoying a day snowboarding. Lately, she’s been happily tending to her garden, sprucing up her property, and hanging out with her kitties.
Her connection to Nakusp began in 2020 on a camping trip with her fiancé, Jonathan, when he proposed. They both felt drawn to the town’s welcoming vibe and decided it was the perfect place to settle down. Originally from Sturgeon County, Alberta, Kassandra met Jonathan while backpacking in Guatemala—6,000 kilometers from home, despite having mutual friends. During their first few years together they’ve spent winters exploring Central and South America, surfing, and soaking in different cultures, from the Amazon Rainforest to the Andes. No matter where they roam, they always find their way back.
In her practice, Kassandra dedicates herself to understanding each client’s unique needs, crafting tailored treatment plans that resonate deeply and deliver results. With her expertise in manual osteopathy, she focuses on addressing chronic pain, supporting wellness goals, and easing migraines through precise, hands-on techniques. She complements this with carefully selected massage methods, both Swedish and non-Swedish, weaving in yoga-inspired breath work and gentle stretches to enhance the healing experience.
Kassandra is passionate about lifelong learning, always seeking new knowledge to better serve her clients—whether she’s curled up at home or savouring a coffee at a local café. She’s thrilled to be part of Nakusp’s vibrant, growing community and feels grateful for the chance to make a meaningful impact. As she builds her life there, she remains dedicated to enriching lives through her work and deepening her community ties.
Growing up in a close-knit Alberta family, Kassandra has carried the warmth of those roots into every step of her journey. Now, she’s delighted to share her expertise and heartfelt care with everyone she meets, whether in the welcoming community of Nakusp or wherever her path leads.
