Soma Sanctuary Bodywork was created by Sage LeGault, a Milwaukee-based bodyworker, to help people live and move with less pain and more trust in their bodies.
In a world that asks us to push harder, sit longer, and ignore what hurts, this practice offers skilled, focused care for pain and the wear of an active life.
Before becoming a massage therapist, I worked in research labs and corporate tech. I have a degree in mathematics, and my early career sharpened the pattern recognition, problem-solving, and analytical skills that shape how I approach bodywork today. I read the research, try to filter the noise, and stay grounded in what’s actually useful.
My education didn’t stop at textbooks, because 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 stuck 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 and protective patterns alongside its muscles and joints, and that lasting change often depends on feeling safe enough for the body to let go. Those lessons taught me that progress comes from curiosity, compassion, and a willingness to meet your body where it is each day.
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 has 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.

My sessions are assessment-driven and designed for people dealing with persistent pain, sensitive or hypermobile bodies, and active lifestyles that demand a lot from their tissues. Each appointment starts with a conversation and a look at how you move, so I can understand where your body is holding tension, compensating, or protecting itself.
From there, I strategically combine trigger point release, myofascial work, cupping, and targeted stretching, choosing each technique based on what your body shows me that day. When your tissue needs deep, precise pressure, I use it, and when your system needs a gentler approach to settle before it can change, I adjust the pace and depth to match.
I pay close attention to how one area affects another, such as how your jaw relates to your neck, how your ribs influence your breathing, and how your hips and feet shape the way you carry load. Tracking these connections helps explain why a problem keeps returning and gives us a clearer path toward lasting relief.
For runners, climbers, lifters, yogis, and other atheletes, that means work that supports recovery, restores range of motion, and addresses the patterns behind recurring tightness or injury. For sensitive or hypermobile bodies, it means precise work that respects your thresholds and builds stability without flaring your symptoms.
Clients describe my work as precise, thoughtful, and grounding. You’ll leave with less pain, a better understanding of what’s driving it, and practical guidance for caring for your body between sessions.
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, and I’m continually curious about how tension patterns form, how they persist, and how they change. Alongside formal coursework, I regularly read orthopedic research, exercise and movement science, and modern pain science, and my background in mathematics helps me read that research critically and keep what’s genuinely useful.
I integrate clinical massage, movement, and pain science to work with both biomechanics and the lived experience of pain. I’ve studied how sensitive systems, chronic tension patterns, and stress reshape stability and adaptation, and 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.
