Vera is a **Registered Massage Therapist (RMT)** and **Registered Kinesiologist (R.Kin)** who takes a thoughtful, movement-based approach to rehabilitation and performance. She blends *hands-on treatment with exercise-based care* to help clients recover, build resilience, and move more efficiently. She places strong emphasis on the role of the nervous system in healing. Her treatments are designed not only to **reduce pain and improve function**, but also to help patients feel calm, supported, and regulated. By creating a relaxed therapeutic environment and tailoring each session to the individual, *she strives to ensure every patient leaves feeling better—both physically and mentally.* Outside of her practice, Vera finds balance through creativity, adventure, and time spent outdoors. Whether she’s *rock climbing, skiing through the mountains, hiking and camping in nature, or slowing down with a paintbrush or a good book*, these experiences help her stay grounded and connected to herself. She brings this same sense of presence, curiosity, and balance into her work with every patient. *Vera offers treatments in English, Russian and French.*
