Chanelle offers a focused, attentive approach to care that considers how the body functions as a whole. Each session is patient and methodical, allowing the work to respond to what your body needs in the moment.

Approach to Care Chanelle Salnikowski, RMT, offers individualized massage therapy with a more patient, intentional approach. Her work considers how different parts of the body relate to one another, using sustained, focused techniques to support meaningful, long-term functional change rather than short-term symptom relief.
She enjoys working with clients experiencing hip and postural imbalances, chronic neck and shoulder pain, fascial restrictions, and neurological conditions. Chanelle's style is deliberate, methodical, and deeply attentive, often working with posture, patterns of movement, and myofascial tension to support more balanced and comfortable use of the body over time. Treatment may also incorporate a range of techniques as appropriate, including deep tissue, myofascial work, lymphatic drainage, and craniosacral techniques. Chanelle has lived in Hope for the past six years and values supporting local community. Inspired to pursue Registered Massage Therapy by her husband Graham, a Rolfing practitioner and owner of Purple Heart Massage, she brings an appreciation for fascial and alignment-focused approaches to her work. Before becoming an RMT, she worked as a costume designer, developing a strong eye for structure, form, and how the human figure shifts and moves as one. She brings this perspective into her clinical work alongside a solid foundation in anatomy and physiology. She views each client as a unique individual, and her treatments are thoughtfully adapted to their needs and goals. Sessions are responsive and never identical, as she works with what presents in the body in each moment. A lifelong musician, Chanelle brings a refined sense of rhythm and intuition into her treatments, creating a grounded and attentive therapeutic experience. She is currently welcoming new patients. |
