Welcome to Wildwood
Welcome to your sanctuary amidst the rhythm of life. Rooted in the heart of West Sechelt, our studio is an oasis of tranquility, offering an immersive healing experience that marries the wisdom of nature with the transformative power of touch. Our vision is to provide a serene retreat from the day, where the stresses of everyday life melt away, replaced by a renewed sense of vitality and well-being.
Wildwood was planted in June 2023, as an alternative environment to typical large, noisy and bright clinical settings. As more research points towards positive client experiences being necessary to achieving therapeutic benefits across health care settings, Wildwood aims to deliver an experience that is patient centred not only physiologically, but psychosocially as well.
Founder and therapist Sasha Tymkiw, takes an integrative approach to treating the body. With a BA in psychology (SFU) , a diploma in Massage Therapy (VCMT), an extensive background in personal training and yoga (including trauma informed yoga therapy), and a commitment to compassion and empowerment, she offers a deeply personalized approach to wellness, using each visitor's unique experiences to shape their therapeutic journey. At Wildwood, every session is a collaborative endeavour, curated to address your individual needs. Whether it's your first visit or you're a returning guest, Sasha’s goal remains the same: creating an environment that allows you to truly step into self care and away from the noises of the modern life.

I want people to feel like one feels when one comes across something splendid in nature accidentally, and experiences awe. A waterfall, an animal, whatever it is — and it plucks you from that never ending to-do list and refreshes your perspective. That is at the heart of Wildwood. —Sasha
