#712-2525 Willow Street, Vancouver, BC, V5Z 3N8

Rhiannon treats with a slow calm pace, always moderating pressure and technique to try and tailor treatment for each individual. She uses a variety of techniques including myofascial, Swedish massage, ligament articular strain (LAST), dermoneuromodulation (DNM), and stretching. She has worked to help people during the pre and postnatal period, during recovery from motor vehicle accidents, sports injuries, for stress management, supporting people managing chronic pain as well as with general aches and pains that occur from daily life. Before becoming an RMT she earned her BFA from UBC and then spent 3 years teaching English in Japan. She then realized that she wanted to combine her desire to help others, work with her hands and interest in anatomy and biology together, graduating from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy in 2007. She has been giving back to her profession as a teacher since 2012 and currently teaches at Langara College. While not a particularly gifted athlete she loves to keep active. She currently does kickboxing to keep fit, but has also in the past practiced Jujitsu (earning a black belt), windsurfed for several years, and worked as a lifeguard. Always interested in learning, she is always happy to answer questions to the best of her ability and to work with people to determine the best way to support them as a massage therapist.
