Ryan believes that taking the time to properly communicate with his patients to diagnose and treat them is the most important part of his job. Ryan's work is reflected by him building trusted relationships with his patients so that they can feel safe and assured to be able to become grounded and release their stress. Pre and post-assessments as well as prescribing proper home care is also essential in achieving a patients desired outcome. Ryan graduated from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy in 2008 and has been practicing since 2009. In the course of Ryan career, he has treated a variety of conditions including: whiplash, tension headaches, Morton’s Neuroma, Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, sciatica, oedema, lumbago, migraines and more. Some of the techniques he prefers to use in his practice are: Swedish Massage, Deep Tissue, Craniosacral Therapy, Trigger Point Release, Muscle Energy Technique and Passive Stretching. In his private time he  loves playing soccer, philosophizing, walking in nature, and playing music.

Candie has been a bodyworker for 7 years. She combines both Eastern and Western techniques with stretching, acupressure points, and moving energy through meridians. Including deep tissue massage to relax tense muscles while invigorating your body’s blood flow and promoting health through proper relaxation,  Brazillian lymphatic drainage massage to encourage circulation and stimulation of the nervous system. She is working towards a RMT designation and is also a master in Usui Reiki. Her signature specialty includes reiki techniques, and chakra balancing to promote further healing. Candie loves the challenge of working with those experiencing chronic pain, specifically in the neck and shoulders, hips and also those who suffer from headaches and sciatica. Her philosophy for all her work is based on removing obstacles that block our abilities to see, hear, feel and connect more intimately with our own mind, body and spirit.  

 Michaela is a recent graduate from the Vancouver College of Massage Therapy (VCMT), trained in Swedish massage, deep tissue techniques, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy. Her approach to care is rooted in the belief that healing is most effective when the whole person is considered—mind, body, and spirit. Michaela values working collaboratively with clients to support their unique goals and promote optimal wellness through a holistic and bio-psycho-social lens. She is passionate about creating a safe, grounded space for her clients to relax, reset, and reconnect with their bodies.

She is just going to be doing 60 and 90 min holistic healing for now.

Jessica is a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and Certified Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT) who believes healing unfolds when people are supported in reconnecting with their whole selves. She creates a warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed environment where clients have space to gently explore life’s challenges with curiosity and compassion. With a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology and a background in kinesiology, yoga therapy, and integrative mental health, Jessica brings a uniquely holistic perspective to psychotherapy. Her work thoughtfully weaves contemporary psychotherapy with the therapeutic principles and practices of yoga, honouring the interconnectedness of mind, body, spirit, and lived experience. 

She is also trained in Observed Experiential Integration (OEI), a brain-based, somatic modality for trauma processing that complements her work with clients experiencing trauma and nervous system dysregulation. Recognizing that every client is unique, Jessica tailors therapy to the individual, drawing from psychotherapy and yoga therapy in ways that honour each person’s needs, pace, and readiness. Sessions may be entirely conversational or, when appropriate, incorporate experiential practices that invite clients to engage through reflection and direct experience, fostering deeper awareness, integration, and meaningful transformation. 

These practices are always adapted to each person’s comfort and preferences. 

Jessica currently offers individual counselling for adults (18+) navigating a wide range of life experiences and mental health concerns and is passionate about helping clients cultivate greater self-awareness, resilience, and embodied well-being. She believes therapy is not about fixing people, but about creating the conditions for healing, growth, and living with greater integrity, authenticity, connection, and purpose. 

Finding the right therapeutic relationship matters. Jessica is happy to offer a complimentary 15-minute consultation to answer questions, hear a little about what has brought you to this point, and explore whether working together feels like the right fit. Jessica’s services may be eligible for coverage under counselling and/or kinesiology benefits, depending on your extended health plan.
