Therapists
Suzanne Malinowski-Plaquin
From the moment Suzanne received her first massage, she knew that pursuing a career in the wellness industry was for her. Suzanne attended the Vancouver School of Bodywork and Massage Spa Therapist Program in 2005. After working for spas in Winnipeg and Vancouver, she decided to start her own practice in Vancouver in 2015. She has treated clients not just in her bodywork studio, but also travelling with participants for bike races (BCBR & ST6) and at high-end heli-ski lodges (CMH & Bella Coola Heli Sports).
Suzanne has worked with all types of people; workaholics to retirees, weekend warriors to hard-core athletes, children to the elderly. Her desire to learn more about massage therapy led her to graduate from Langara College's Registered Massage Therapy Program at the end of 2020. Suzanne now looks forward to expanding her knowledge into specific focuses such as temporomandibular joint treatment, visceral massage, muscle energy techniques and craniosacral therapy.
Suzanne enjoys spending her free time biking the seawall with her husband to all the great Vancouver beach spots, reading a good murder mystery novel and watching old classic movies.
Dustin Hughes
Dustin is a Registered Massage Therapist who graduated from the Vancouver College of Massage Therapy in 2017. He approaches massage with the belief that every patient’s needs are different, and as such, so is every treatment. He likes to take a balanced approach utilizing relaxation techniques and compassionate touch as well as the use of more specific techniques, such as deep tissue work and trigger point release, to promote both mental and physical wellbeing. Dustin works with individuals of all ages. Previously he has volunteered at Ronald McDonald House performing assessment and treatment of staff, patients and their families.
Outside of the clinic Dustin enjoys walking and running, cooking, and spending time with family.
“I have been seeing Suzanne for a while now. Suzanne has a great knowledge of the human body, and is always compassionate and intuitive. I have seen many types of health care practitioners over the years, but Suzanne has been my go-to to help reset all my tight spots that we keep finding! I would not hesitate to recommend Suzanne as she is truly professional in this field.”
