BIO:
Nicola comes to us as a graduate from the Okanagan Valley College of Massage Therapy in Vernon, BC. She holds a Bachelor in Human Kinetics (UBC- 2008), with a focus on Health and Fitness.
Prior to going back to school for Massage Therapy Nicola worked as a Personal Trainer and running coach. Not limiting herself to just one sport, Nicola played varsity basketball for Capilano College and received All-American accolades running track and field and cross country for the University of British Columbia. It was early on in her running career that Nicola discovered Massage Therapy and it helped her recover from common overuse running injuries and later in prevention.
Nicola is passionate about helping other people reach their health and wellness goals and through continuing education is dedicated to advancing her knowledge to help serve her patients. Through proper assessments, Nicola takes it upon herself to figure out WHY her patients are experiencing dysfunction/pain and seek to correct muscle imbalances by prescribing therapeutic exercises.
To help her clients achieve pain free-functional movement, Nicola leans towards deep-tissue modalities, trigger point therapy, neuromuscular therapy, myofascial release and muscle energy techniques. Nicola is especially interested in furthering her knowledge in craniosacral therapy and osteopathic techniques.
