**Shirley graduated from Vancouver Career College in 2024 and is passionate about supporting individuals’ overall well-being through therapeutic touch.** She believes that massage therapy has a meaningful impact on people’s lives and can greatly benefit the local community. **In her clinical practice, Shirley treats patients with conditions such as plantar fasciitis, frozen shoulder, tendonitis, and various joint dysfunctions.** She tailors each session to the patient’s specific needs and treatment goals, aiming to improve function, decrease pain, and enhance overall quality of life. **By incorporating techniques such as joint mobilization, myofascial release, petrissage, and Swedish massage, she helps patients feel relaxed while regaining mobility and physical confidence in their daily activities.** **Prior to pursuing massage therapy, Shirley earned a Bachelor of Accounting degree from Thompson Rivers University and built over 10 years of experience working in marketing and office administration. Through this experience, she gained a deep understanding of postural strain and the common neck, shoulder, and lower back discomfort that often comes from prolonged sitting.** Her transition into massage therapy represents a meaningful career shift, fueled by her interest in therapeutic techniques and postural correction strategies. Shirley welcomes new patients and is committed to providing compassionate, goal-oriented treatment to support their movement, comfort, and well-being.
