Therapists

Dustin is a long time believer in the power of massage to promote both physical and mental wellbeing in his patients. Since graduating from the Vancouver College of Massage Therapy in 2017, he has gained experience working with people from all walks of life; from athletes, to couch potatoes, and everybody in between. Dustin is more than happy to adapt the treatment to ensure that his patients feel safe and comfortable, and that all of their needs are being met. He often finds a balanced approach is best, utilizing a mix of relaxation techniques, as well as techniques that target the affected muscles directly, such as trigger point therapy.

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 studio space, 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.

    H.M

  • "I benefited a lot from being able to discuss why I was there and what I was hoping for the outcome of the session and Dustin was a great listener and provided the treatment I really needed. Dustin, I also appreciate that you tune into the treatment and follow the client's lead as to how much they want to interact. The next time I need to go to an RMT, I will definitely rebook."
