 My Story

My journey into massage therapy began after a snowboarding accident that changed my perspective on healing and recovery. During my rehabilitation, I experienced firsthand the impact that massage therapy can have—not only physically, but mentally and emotionally as well.

The care, support, and relief I received inspired me deeply. It showed me how powerful hands-on treatment can be in helping someone feel more comfortable, capable, and connected to their body again. That experience sparked a passion within me to pursue massage therapy so I could help others reduce pain, improve movement, support recovery, and take time to care for themselves.

My journey was also profoundly shaped by my Grandma Gayle.

Growing up, I spent many hours caring for her—helping with everyday tasks, assisting with her dialysis treatments, making her morning coffee, and simply enjoying time together. One of my favourite memories is sitting beside her, listening to Elvis while looking out across the prairie fields. Those quiet moments are memories I will always cherish.

During that time, I realized how much I loved caring for others and ensuring they felt comfortable, supported, and valued. More importantly, I learned that true care isn't just about helping someone with daily tasks—it's about helping them maintain their independence, mobility, and ability to enjoy the simple moments in life.

Watching my grandma gradually lose the ability to do some of those everyday activities was incredibly difficult. It changed the way I viewed healthcare and inspired the philosophy that guides my practice today. My greatest goal is to help people return to the activities they love while empowering them with the knowledge and tools to stay proactive about their health and wellness.

My Grandma Gayle's love for Little House on the Prairie also inspired the name Kneading On The Prairie. Choosing that name felt like the perfect way to honour her memory while celebrating the values she instilled in me: kindness, compassion, resilience, and caring for others.

Today, through Kneading On The Prairie by Sarina Try, I am proud to provide compassionate, personalized massage therapy in the community I now call home. Every treatment is tailored to each individual's unique needs and goals, whether they're seeking pain relief, recovering from an injury, improving mobility, or simply taking time to relax and recharge.

The prairie has shaped who I am today, and I am truly grateful for the opportunity to serve this wonderful community.

For me, massage therapy is about so much more than treating sore muscles. It's about helping people feel heard, supported, and cared for, while giving them the confidence and tools to continue caring for themselves long after they leave my treatment room.

I am incredibly grateful for the friends, family, and community members who continue to support me today.

I have been so blessed by the love and encouragement of the people who mean so much to me — my mother-in-law, Chanda and her partner Dave; my fiancé and proud partner, Tregan; my sister-in-law, Tressa; and my nephew, Grayson. Their belief in me has meant the world throughout this journey.

I am also so thankful for the friends I have made in this little town I now call home. The support from this community has truly been such a blessing.

A special thank you to Pastor Brian Pank and everyone at St. Andrew’s United Church for their kindness, encouragement, and support throughout my practice.

I would also like to thank my karate teacher, Robert Blowatt, who runs Genki out of Frobisher, for helping spread the word and support my business.

Thank you as well to the Andersons at OK Tire for helping share my passion and for supporting me along the way.

To the communities and businesses here in Carnduff and the surrounding areas who have continued to support me — thank you from the bottom of my heart.
