Tempo Sabatier, RMT

Tempo (they/she) is earnest, thoughtful, and curious, with a friendliness that quickly reveals them as a transplant from the prairies.


Their favourite part of this job is getting to know people - learning about you empowers them to adapt their approach to where you’re at and what you’re looking for. Your appointment could be active, relaxing, fun, educational, gentle, intense… or a mix of these… depending on what you agree to co-create together. 


Ultimately, their goal is for you to feel empowered and supported: whether this means learning more about yourself and your body, returning to your day-to-day with less pain, finding a new self-care tool, or recognizing the strengths and skills you already have. 


Tempo welcomes all things about being human in their treatment room: there is never a need to apologize for “over-explaining,” for having a body that does totally natural human body things, having specific needs and preferences, or changing your mind. Importantly, Tempo respects gender as a complex part of each person’s relationship to self, to others, and the world around them that is alive (always in progress) and deeply personal.


Outside of work, Tempo spends their free time singing their heart out, trying hard at Crossfit, and trying to make the most of this human experience.

"I’m very grateful for Tempo’s wisdom in practice. They are open to sharing what they notice and what they are doing - which, in turn, makes me feel included in what’s happening to my body. Second, they were stellar at checking in with me on pressure and comfortability throughout our session. This ensured my pain points were always getting the help they needed! Third, Tempo was able to give me a few exercises to try at home to help strengthen and improve my problem spots over coming days. 10/10 recommend!"

“Go see Tempo! I had an amazing massage and probably one of the best sleeps I've had in a long time afterward. They have great intuition and knew exactly what I needed to have worked on. Highly, highly recommend.”
