Kirsten is a self-care advocate and massage connoisseur who views massage therapy as the most valuable tool in her own healthcare toolbox. With over 20 years combined experience in therapeutic and registered massage therapy, she is dedicated to service and passionate about holistic healthcare and the healing arts. She believes the treatment room is a sanctuary for compassion, healing, rest and wellbeing and she strives to create a light-hearted, soothing atmosphere. Her own life experience, professionalism, empathy and positive spirit are her most compelling traits as a therapist.
Kirsten uses the core principles of massage in addition to a wide range of traditional techniques to achieve positive results for her patients. By connecting the science of anatomy with her intimate knowledge of the body, she has achieved a deep understanding and delivery of her craft. Her clients comment on her calming energy and ‘magic hands’. She is not only an intuitive therapist but also a thoughtful communicator. She fosters an informed massage experience by holding space for others, working to understand the root of their concerns, and articulating how and why certain techniques are helpful.
Kirsten has roots in Northwest BC, on Vancouver Island and in Vancouver where she now lives and practices. She is a graduate of the 3000 hour program at Vancouver College of Massage Therapy. Her professional interests are in the art and science of stress relief, recovery, deep relaxation, nervous system regulation, pregnancy and women's health. Kirsten’s ultimate goal is to help others rest, recover, and find peace on their life's journey.
