Melissa Zarecki

NOTE: My schedule will be sporadic until October 2026 due to other work commitments. If you would like an appointment, please DO NOT HESITATE TO email ([email protected]). I would gladly schedule an appointment based on yours and my availability. Otherwise, please continue to check the schedule for evening and weekend availability.** Melissa takes a very holistic approach to her practice. From her previous and varied background (as a Kinesiologist, Exercise Physiologist, Registered Massage Therapist and Yoga Teacher), she has attained a great deal of knowledge about the human body (over the last 24 years). That knowledge continues to expand through practice and continuing education. Being an athlete herself, she understands the frustrations of being injured and the steps one must take to prevent injuries. Melissa believes that ailments of the body are not only physical but can lie at a much deeper level. Getting to the root of the issue allows for greater long-term results. Daily life and extracurricular pursuits can be stressful and have an impact on our physical and mental bodies. Through specific and focused hands-on work, breathing practices and exercise prescription (aka homework!), Melissa’s clients have found great success in dealing with current issues and learning how to prevent future issues. Melissa utilizes the knowledge from her varied previous experiences and takes the necessary time to work with her clients in a way that will have them reaching their health-related goals. Melissa is very passionate about massage therapy, the human body and all the work that she does. In Melissa’s spare time, she is very active. Melissa can be found cycling, fishing, hiking, canoeing, kayaking, playing hockey, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and camping. Melissa is looking forward to settling in Smithers and taking advantage of all the outdoor opportunities that the area has to offer.
