Registered Massage Therapist since 1984

250-537-1503

With over 30 years experience as a Registered Massage Therapist * I can provide you with a treatment that is as unique as you!

Soothing relaxation massage with warm herbal oils, freedom from chronic pain, injury rehabilitation, craniosacral, these are just a few possibilities in a massage session tailored just for you. I can help you investigate the source of your pain, getting to the root of the problem.

I offer rehabilitating exercises that work with simple bio-feedback, that can help you recognize, and release, the patterns your body is locked into. By overriding subconscious messages that control your muscular tension, and awaken conscious neural pathways, I can help you create lifelong habits to move with ease, comfort, and fluidity.

I practice many techniques including :

Postural Analysis • Muscle and Movement Pattern Re-education • Applied Somatics • Cranial Sacral • Swedish • Positional Release • Aromatherapy • Reflexology • Reiki • Acupressure • Muscle Energy • Deep Tissue

I am also a long time Herbalist (35 years) and  Yoga Teacher. In addition I have personally fully recovered from 3 whiplashes and herniated discs in my lower back so I have an understanding of pain from the inside out.

I have  been meditating and practising yoga and since I was 14 years old and spent over 25 years teaching yoga

* British Columbia has the highest standard for registered massage therapists in North America and are governed by the College of Massage Therapists of B.C.

I graduated from the Canadian College of Massage and Hydrotherapy in 1984. Now it is  30 years later and I truly enjoy this practice. Over the years I have seen thousands of clients and worked with almost every soft tissue concern. In accordance with the College of Massage Therapists of British Columbia I have taken hundreds of hours of advanced training in massage and body work techniques and continue to study and learn. Here is what some people say about my work:

"Rainbow is the best massage therapist I have been to on the island (having been to several others.) Her massage techniques are wonderful. She provides a wealth of information from a variety of disciplines ( somatics, therapeutic exercise, massage) and she has a great sense of humour and approach to life! I love the massage oils that she concocts herself as well as. She is an important part of my health and body care here on the island." ~Wendy V

"I travel across the sea to spend an hour on Rainbow's table! Definitely worth the trip! Not only is it a wonderfully relaxing treatment, Rainbow is just plain good company. Oh, and the Cranial Sacral! Amazing! I had a nasty mountain biking injury which had plagued me for weeks until just one Cranial Sacral session with Rainbow. Highly, highly recommend! I would be there every other week if I lived on the island!"
~L. Appleton

"I have been going to Rainbow for years. Not only does she give a wonderful massage, but she is extremely knowledgeable and helpful with suggestions for bringing balance to the body. As well, she has a delightfully sunny presence which always gives me a lift!" ~WK
