    Choosing a massage therapist is a very important decision. My clients call me for a number of reasons. Exceptionally relaxing bodywork is paramount. In addition, I will develop a customized program that deals with your health and lifestyle concerns. Importantly, I offer the flexibility to make your session at a time and location that is best for your busy life.

    You already know that massage therapy is as vital to a healthy mind and body as is exercise and diet. All too often, people who have demanding lives turn to temporary solutions that do not necessarily promote healing or wellness. I’d like to introduce a better choice. Discover the benefits of body work. It’s an opportunity to exhale deeply, to relax completely and to nurture a healthier lifestyle.

    I first learned massage in 1982 and practiced intuitive relaxation massage treating my family and friends, as a hobby, for more than 20 years prior to returning to school. In 2009, I graduated from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy in Victoria where I studied many types of massage therapy from Swedish Massage to Sports Massage and Muscle Energy Techniques. In my practice, I focus on chronic pain management and injury rehabilitation, with a special interest in Myofascial Release.  I am registered with the College of Massage Therapists of BC and belong to the Massage Therapists Association of BC.  I am fully insured and use the most environmentally aware methods available for safe and effective hygiene, cleaning and laundry.

    I have lived in the West Shore communities of Victoria, for 18 years, where I have been raising my 3 sons. My wife, Guinevere Howes, is a Realtor with Century 21 Queenswood.  Originally, I am from Prince George, via Vancouver.  I was a restaurateur for many years and previously, a franchise partner with two Victoria White Spot Restaurant locations.
