Chelsea has had a round-about journey into Massage Therapy. She first studied Fine Arts at UBC-Okanagan where she focused on abstract painting and critical thinking. She worked as a tree planter through University and later spent another four years fighting forest fires across Canada. This physically-intensive work helped to develop her interest in health and fitness. Add to this her history in endurance-based athletics - including Biathlon, cycling, yoga, running and canoe racing - and you have someone thrilled and awed with the ability of the human body to adapt, to strengthen, and to heal.
Chelsea is a graduate of the Massage Therapy program at OVCMT in Vernon, BC. As a Registered Massage Therapist, her approach is attentive and sensitive to each client's particular needs. She has found that for many of us, injury and physical dysfunction result from a lifetime of habitual postures and movements. Therefore, to create any lasting change, treatment needs to address both the recent symptoms and the underlying structure and functionality that caused them.
