Hello! My name is Rebecca Sanker. I am a Licensed Massage Therapist, Professional Bowenwork Practitioner, and a Certified Lymphedema Therapist in Stroudsburg, PA. I specialize in bodywork for the relief of physical and emotional pain through the use of somatic bodywork, Bowenwork, therapeutic massage, and lymphatic massage.

 

I graduated from Albright College with a B.A. in Psychology and after many years working in a psychiatric unit as a mental health technician, I decided it was time to make a change. Although I still have a love for psychology, the psychiatric unit became taxing on both my physical and mental health. After months of soul searching, I realized that I wanted to continue helping people through the use of massage therapy.

 

While I was in massage school, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. As you can imagine, this was mind-blowing at the time. Thankfully, I was able to finish my massage classes while going to chemotherapy and graduated in December of 2014. The health struggle did not end there, though; I still had to have a lumpectomy and radiation treatments. It is with great gratitude that I was able to beat breast cancer, but it was one of the hardest times in my life. I received my massage license in May of 2015, and it has been an amazing journey ever since.

 

Since I received my license, I have chosen my continuing education classes specifically to provide me with the tools to work with individuals who have tried everything, feel unheard, and are living with physical and emotional pain.

 

In addition to massage therapy, I am a Master of Wisdom and Meditation teacher through the 285-hour intensive meditation teacher course through the Davidji Meditation Academy. I have learned many types of meditations and did a deep dive into the ancient and modern teachings and scriptures behind the practice of meditation.

​

When I am not massaging, I can be found spending time with my husband, our fur children Eli and Kali, friends, and family. I am also an active member of the Kiwanis Club of the Stroudsburgs, volunteering my time as a Kiwanis Advisor for the East Stroudsburg South Key Club.
