Soma Sanctuary Bodywork was created by Sage LeGault, a Milwaukee-based boyworker, with one 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, pay attention, and hear what your body has been trying to tell you.
My sessions are assessment-driven, somatically informed, and focused on understanding how your body organizes tension, compensates, and protects itself.
Every appointment starts with listening, to both you and to your tissues. From there, I strategiacally blend techniques like trigger point relase, myofascial work, cupping, and stretching to create meaningful change.
If your system needs deep, precise pressure, I use it. If it needs nervous-system downshifting or targeted movement, I go there. The method shifts because your body does.
I don’t just chase symptoms; I track patterns. The relationships between your jaw, neck, ribs, hips, feet and how your nervous system is managing stress and load.
Clients describe my work as percise, intelligent, and grounding. You leave with less tension, more clarity, and a better sense of what your body needs moving forward.
Before becoming a massage therapist, I worked in research labs and corporate tech. I have a degree in mathematics, and my early career sharpened my pattern-recognition, problem-solving, and analytical skills — all of which shape how I approach bodywork today. I read the research, filter the noise, and stay grounded in what’s actually useful.
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 live in a body that isn’t cooperating.
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 stress, history, and protective patterns just as much as it holds muscles and joints. Release often requires more than physical pressure, it requires a sense of safety and being fully in your body.
Those lessons are why I do what I do now. They taught me that meaningful change 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 work blends the analytical mind of a scientist with the empathy of someone who’s lived through pain. Whether you’re navigating injury, hypermobility, or patterns that don’t fit a simple diagnosis, I bring both precision and deep respect for your experience.

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:
My continuing education centers on understanding pain from a structural and nervous-system perspective — how tension patterns form, how they persist, and how they change. I integrate clinical massage, movement science, and somatic principles to work with both biomechanics and the lived experience of pain.
I’ve spent years studying sensitive systems, chronic tension patterns, and how stress reshapes stability and adaptation. This foundation allows me to work deeply, precisely, and with respect for your 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.
