Tania has a keen passion for the healing arts. She is sensitive to the needs of not only the body, but also of the mind and spirit, believing that none can be separated from the others. She encourages healing on a holistic level. Tania graduated from the massage therapy program at Utopia Academy in 2010. She is passionate about her practice and is excited by the current research pointing to the many benefits of massage therapy. She is a very compassionate, calm, grounded and gifted therapist. Tania believes every individual is unique and tailors each treatment specifically to each client. Tania enjoys treating individuals with a wide variety of conditions. She employs several massage therapy techniques in her practice, but her primary practice involves use of myofascial techniques, including Course of Applied Tensegrity (CoAT). This is a very gentle, subtle, yet effective technique. Client education is also integrated into her sessions, as she strives to empower each individual to take charge of their health. Prior to being a massage therapist, Tania worked in a variety of medical and scientific settings. She has an undergraduate degree in Biochemistry from the University of Waterloo and a master’s degree in Biological Sciences from Stanford University. With her unique combination of education and work experience, Tania plans to ultimately contribute to clinical research in massage therapy. She acknowledges that she provides her services on the unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations.
