About Soma Sanctuary Bodywork

Soma Sanctuary Bodywork was created by Sage LeGault, a Milwaukee-based massage therapist and movement educator, with one simple intention: to help people feel more at home in their bodies.

In a world that constantly asks us to push harder, sit longer, and ignore what hurts, this space exists as a quiet rebellion. A place to slow down, tune in, and reconnect with the wisdom your body’s been trying to share all along.
‍
Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, tension from stress, or the wear-and-tear of training, Soma Sanctuary offers a space for your body to recover and adapt.

My Approach

My work blends therapeutic massage, integrative bodywork, and yoga and mobility coaching. Each session is tailored to what your body actually needs that day, whether that’s deep and precise muscular work, gentle nervous system regulation, or guided movement strategies to help you feel stronger and more balanced long-term.

I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all formula. Some days, healing looks like targeted trigger-point work and structural balance for chronic neck or back pain. Other days, it’s slow stretching, breathwork, or simply giving your nervous system permission to relax.

Clients often say my sessions feel both grounding and informative. You’ll leave with less tension, but also with a better understanding of your body and what it’s trying to tell you.

My Background

Before becoming a massage therapist, I lived in a world that couldn’t have been more different; one of research labs, data sets, and long hours alone at a desk. I have a Bachelor’s degree in mathematics, and my early career was built on logic, problem-solving, and attention to detail. That background deeply shaped how I approach bodywork today. I’m endlessly curious, I read the research, and I know how to filter through scientific literature to understand what’s evidence-based and what’s hype.

My education didn’t stop at textbooks. Much of what I know comes from my own lived experience. I've dealt with chronic pain, hypermobility, TMJ dysfunction, and athletic injuries that forced me to rethink how I moved and cared for my body. I know what it’s like to feel trapped in discomfort, to search everywhere for answers, and to be told “everything looks fine” while your body keeps shouting otherwise.

Over the years, I’ve worked with somatic experiencing therapy, yoga, and other body-based approaches to healing. Those experiences completely reshaped my understanding of pain. I learned that the body holds memories, grief, and stress just as much as it holds muscles and joints. Release often requires more than physical pressure, it requires a sense of true safety and embodiement.

Those lessons are why I do what I do now. They taught me that true healing doesn’t come from a single technique or modality; it comes from curiosity, compassion, and the willingness to meet the body where it is that day.

My approach blends the analytical mind of a scientist with the intuition and empathy of someone who’s been there. Whether I’m working with a client recovering from injury, managing hypermobility, or navigating pain that doesn’t fit neatly into a diagnosis, I bring both a systems-level understanding of the body and a deep respect for the human experience inside it.

Credentials & Training

I’m a Licensed Massage Therapist trained in medical massage (824-hour program), a 200-hour Certified Yoga Teacher, and a movement educator with focused training in:

  • Precision Neuromuscular Therapy (PNMT)
  • TMJ Pain, Disfunction, and Intra-oral treatment
  • Anatomy Trains: Structure & Function
  • Lymphatic Massage for general wellness
  • Yoga for Hypermobility
  • Foundational Craniosacral Therapy

My continuing education centers on understanding pain from a structural and nervous-system perspective — how tension patterns form, how they persist, and what helps them change. I pull from clinical massage, movement science, and somatic principles to work with both the biomechanics and the lived experience of pain.

Beyond formal training, I’ve spent years studying sensitive systems, chronic tension patterns, and the ways stress reshapes how the body stabilizes and adapts. This blend of technical skill and systems-level understanding is the backbone of my approach: precise work that respects your body’s thresholds and capacity.

In short: I’ve spent years geeking out over how bodies work, and I bring that curiosity and care into every session.
