Panacea Massage and Wellness

I have recently landed in the beautiful Comox Valley after 10 years in Vancouver following a move from my hometown Montreal. I have a master’s degree in psychiatric research and worked for several years on various research projects in psychiatric hospitals. I decided to return to school at the tender age of 38 to pursue massage therapy as I was itching to get out of a seated position in front of the computer and wanted to feel the tangible results of my work. I am a very active person and understand the challenges of being injured and not being able to do what we love. I am passionate about helping people recover from sports injuries. In addition, I have worked with numerous individuals experiencing low back pain, osteoarthritis, frozen shoulders and tension headaches. I am also trained in the use of stainless tools (IATSM – Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization) to reduce chronic scar tissue. I can also provide a deeply relaxing and soothing massage if that is what you are looking for. The time spent on the massage table is for you! When I am not working, I am either on my mountain bike, skiing in the mountains, cooking or reading a good book alongside my dog Lucy.
