Kristen's Story

Background  

Kristen graduated from the Sutherland-Chan School of Massage Therapy in 2013 and embarked on her journey as a Registered Massage Therapist shortly after relocating to Vancouver Island the following year. With 16 years of experience as a competitive swimmer representing Canada on the global stage, Kristen's passion for sport performance, body awareness, and movement naturally led her to pursue a career in Massage Therapy.

 

Treatment Style

Her philosophy revolves around empowering individuals to deepen their understanding of their bodies, fostering a sense of safety and joy in the body they live in. Beyond the clinic, Kristen's pursuit of knowledge extends into the realms of dance and yoga, where she continues to explore body movement and holistic wellness practices.

 

In her Massage Therapy practice, Kristen demonstrates an interest in understanding and crafting unique treatment plans tailored to each client's specific needs. She values building genuine connections with her clients, supporting them on their journey toward improved everyday function and overall well-being.

 

Personal

Outside of her professional endeavors, Kristen finds joy in traveling and cherishing moments with her husband and family. Their lives are enriched by their beloved orange tabby, "Mango," who accompanies them on walks amidst the natural beauty of Mount PKOLS, East Sooke Park and Elk Lake.​​
