Michael has been a practicing Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) in British Columbia since 1999 and is currently registered as an RMT with the College of Complementary Health Professionals of BC (CCHPBC). With over two decades of clinical experience, Michael has dedicated his career to developing a deeper understanding of the intricate relationships within the human body. In 2018, Michael expanded his clinical education by completing a comprehensive program in Manual Osteopathy. He now offers Manual Osteopathic Practitioner sessions as a separate service from his Registered Massage Therapy practice. Manual osteopathic treatment takes a gentle, whole-body approach to understanding movement and the relationships between different structures and systems of the body. Drawing on anatomy, physiology, and neurology, the approach considers the interconnected nature of the musculoskeletal, visceral, and craniosacral systems. Each session is individualized based on your history and presentation, with the intention of supporting comfortable movement and the body's natural capacity for balance and adaptation. In addition to his manual practice, Michael has completed studies as a Medical Qigong Practitioner and is presently enrolled in the Medical Qigong Therapist program. This experience has deepened his appreciation for the relationship between movement, awareness, breathing, and overall well-being, and continues to inform his personal approach to wellness and self-care. Please note: Registered Massage Therapy and Manual Osteopathy are offered as separate services and sessions. They are provided independently and billed separately according to the professional service being received.
