Sadie graduated from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy in New Westminster in August 2015.
"I genuinely love what I do. I enjoy meeting new people, learning about what makes you unique, and working with you to find the best plan to reach your health and wellness goals."
Courses that Sadie has taken to further her knowledge are:
"I typically choose my additional courses based on what I see happening with my patients. If I notice a handful of them are dealing with certain conditions or symptoms that I'm not as knowledgeable with, I make it a point to dig deeper and learn more about those areas. "
Outside of work she love the outdoors — camping, hiking, fishing, exploring, you name it! Being closer to nature is one of the main reasons that brought her to Kamloops 5 years ago. She is also a trained dancer, and still finds time to be in the studio today. Sadie is a Mom to a sweet, energetic, charismatic little boy and loves every crazy second of it!
Wendy has been an RMT since 1993 and has a background as an equestrian, cyclist, hiker and paddler. Before becoming an RMT Wendy completed a BA in geography that included physical anthropology, archaeology and kinesiology education which influences her RMT work.
Wendy uses a diverse range of techniques from the ultra gentle but deeply effective and wholistic osteopathic techniques to very deep and specific neuromuscular and myofascial work.
As an RMT she has devoted post graduate studies to cranial osteopathy and cranio-sacral, neuromuscular and trigger point therapy, myofascial release and visceral (osteopathic) manual techniques. She supports this work with patient education in strength training, stretching techniques and body-mind-movement therapies (yoga, alexander, feldenkrais techniques). Wendy has studied t’ai chi and qi gong with Ken Cohen and Osman Phillips for many years and is a student of culturally- and trauma-informed practice. Wendy has a diverse practice but deeply enjoys the challenges of work with severe, acute and complex pain, post-surgical recovery, scar treatment and women’s health (pelvic floor, bladder, c-section scars, post-surgical pain/issues, complex pain) for which some of the osteopathic techniques she uses are invaluable.
When Wendy is not working she may be found playing in the outdoors, or playing with clay (or both)! She has designed and built her own deep green home and also worked in energy efficiency, renewable energy and sustainability.
The treatment plan is always designed with you, your goals and your lifestyle in mind. I meet you where you are and I will always give you my honest professional opinion and options for treatments, so you can choose – how comfortable or not, how therapeutic/rapidly effective, how much home/self care you want or don’t want to do. Your feedback is an essential part of the process. I am honoured and happy to assist you on your health journey.
