Shasta Blakely Coombes

Expedition Medic, Registered Massage Therapist

Massage therapist and movement educator with a passion for healing, adventure, and helping active bodies recover, relax, and thrive.

Shasta is a registered massage therapist and certified yoga instructor based in the Canadian Rockies. Her path to bodywork began after years working as a ski patroller and wildfire fighter, where she developed a deep respect for the body’s capacity to endure, recover, and heal.

On board, Shasta offers massage therapy focused on relaxation, recovery, and general well-being. Her treatments are ideal for soothing sore muscles after a hike, supporting mobility, or simply helping guests unwind at the end of an active day. She blends Swedish and myofascial techniques with deep tissue, trigger point release, and facilitated stretching. Shasta is committed to trauma-informed care and believes massage can be a powerful tool for restoring ease, comfort, and presence.

Shasta’s passion for movement and the outdoors shapes both her lifestyle and her approach to care. She is an avid backcountry skier, runner, and climber, currently pursuing her ski guide certification. Whether teaching yoga or providing massage, she brings grounded, compassionate presence and a love of wild places to her work with guests on board.
