Dhana Wood

Dhana Wood is a recent graduate of the West Coast College of Massage Therapy and proud resident of the beautiful Saanich peninsula. Born and raised in Victoria, Dhana has always had a passion for health and wellness, and helping others to lead their best lives. As a fitness enthusiast, she is a big believer in movement as a healing modality, and aims to support her clients in leading healthy and active lifestyles. Dhana’s approach to massage therapy is patient-centred, with each treatment being tailored to the client’s unique needs and goals. She is comfortable employing a wide variety of massage techniques, including Swedish massage, myofascial release, trigger point release, joint mobilizations, and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation. An appointment with Dhana includes an in-depth interview and assessment process, so she can best determine which specific techniques will be most beneficial for each individual case. Dhana seeks to include clients in their care, and empower them to take healing into their own hands. This can include the use of more active treatment modalities where appropriate, as well as prescribing personalized home care activities that will support and enhance the benefits massage therapy provides. Dhana believes that the ultimate goal of treatment is to assist patients in becoming pain free, and to provide them with the tools to stay this way. Aside from massage, Dhana’s interests include bodybuilding, hiking, yoga, going for walks in the neighbourhood, and spending lots of time with her husband and cats. She is so grateful to call Vancouver Island home, and is very excited to be starting her new career here.
