ABOUT SABINA

Moving in 1992 from Switzerland, she began working at the celebrated Esalen Institute to study the art of Esalen Massage.

After learning the unique techniques she was hired to join the massage team and in that span of time, she has proudly and remarkably worked on over 10,000 bodies. This particular accomplishment has only deepened her passion to work skillfully with all kinds of body types. It has also given her extensive experience on many physical issues and injuries. 

She still continues to expand her study in Thai massage and Breema Bodywork which are both traditionally practiced on the floor. She has adopted these distinct stretches and moves and use them efficiently in her work.

 


Tributes

 
Sabina Loetscher is without a doubt, the best bodyworker I have ever encountered. She combines the craft of massage therapy with the art of healing in a unique way that creates a truly transformative and magical experience – with every session. Since writing Bodymind forty years ago, I have had the good fortune of getting massages from the world’s greatest therapists. In every way, Sabina is next level. She is truly a living master.

Sabina is fantastic! I was suffering from a lot of back pain and after a session with her, the pain has completely subsided. I felt very relaxed and cradled by her warm energy. A consummate professional. No healing hands or intuitive spirit like hers!! Highly recommend!

I first met Sabina when I was about 7-8 months pregnant with my second baby. I’ve had hundreds of massages over the years (avid massage fan!) but hers was unlike any I’d experienced. Her pressure is perfect, and the entire massage “flows” perfectly — head-to-toe relaxation. She uses pillows and props that allow you to enjoy your massage face down - a big win for big bellies! My favorite thing about Sabina is her calming demeanor - you just feel good in her presence. The best testimonial I can give is that I felt like I wasn’t pregnant when she was massaging me - all of my “heavy/tired” feelings disappeared. She’s amazing - do yourself the favor of booking an appointment!

I’ve been trained in massage for many years and enjoy it as a hobby. And I’ve had some really great massages all around the country, but no one really matches the overall quality of massage given by Sabina. She has had extensive training in advanced massage techniques and has mastered them beautifully. But somehow she manages to work these unique techniques into her overall massage so no one would fully realize she was going from basic massage into advanced techniques. I’ve never had a better massage than hers and always schedule with her when I am in the area. She is also a kind and loving human being. I cannot recommend anyone better than Sabina!

Massage is a very vulnerable and intimate experience. I have never felt more safe and cared for as I am with Sabina. She not only gives great attention and care to each unique massage, she has an intuitive touch and an ability to literally create a whole body massage. Every time I leave her massage therapy room, I feel blessed for her healing touch and valued as a woman. I highly recommend you experience Sabina’s massage therapy.
— MONICA PEPPER, Nurse
Sabina is pure magic. I refer patients with pregnancy-related discomfort, sports injuries, chronic pain and emotional trauma to her and she never fails to untie the knots, soothe the soul, and nourish the spirit.
Her vast massage experience gained through twenty years at Esalen in Big Sur allows her to zero in and solve specific issues while simultaneously nurturing your entire being. Her free-flowing, deep-tissue sessions are like a dance that leaves you deeply grounded and wonderfully light at the same time. I give her my highest professional and personal recommendation.
