Heather
RMT - Registered Massage Therapist
I believe in promoting wellness and injury prevention to my clients and I am very motivated to help support you on your personal wellness journey. I graduated from the Canadian College of Massage and Hydrotherapy in 2005 and I have had a very busy home-based practice in the Cowichan Valley, BC since graduation. I believe in optimizing the well -being of my clients and continue to pursue training in different techniques and disciplines to provide a more diversified therapeutic treatment approach tailored to each client’s specific needs. I have relocated to the Comox Valley and I am excited to be joining the team at Soma Osteopathy and Wellness and to be now working in a dynamic clinic environment alongside other Health Care practitioners.
As a Registered Massage Therapist, I provide a hands-on manipulation of the soft tissues of the body which has a therapeutic effect on the health and well being on an individuals muscular, nervous and circulatory system. I specialize in Therapeutic deep tissue massage, Myofascial Release techniques, Craniosacral Therapy and I am a Certified Foundation Training Instructor. Foundation Training is a series of bodyweight exercises designed to restore natural movement patterns by teaching you how to move more efficiently. This is a movement practice that I incorporate into the treatment session as home-care exercises for clients interested in improving mobility in their activities of daily life and help correct imbalances and reduce pain in the body caused by poor posture habits.
I have a deep appreciation for being in nature and spending time exploring outdoors. My passion for Stand-Up paddle boarding, bike riding and Cross-Country skiing along with a desire for working in a team environment has brought me to the Comox Valley. I look forward meeting you and to helping you improve mobility and resilience in your body.
