Jacinthe Fortin
I was born in Longueuil, Quebec. My first language is French. I have been passionately interested in health, healing and natural medicines for as long as I can remember, but it was when I did volunteer work in Somalia, Africa, that I became interested in touch therapies.
I moved to BC in 1985 and studied at West Coast College of Massage Therapy in Vancouver, graduating 1989. Professional development studies are an ongoing part of my profession. My post-graduate studies include Myofascial Therapy, muscle energy and Craniosacral Therapy. I am currently studying Osteopathy with the ‘Canadian College of Osteopathy’.

I have been practicing at White Rock Massage Therapy Clinic since 1991. During my career as a Massage Therapist, I have taught relaxation massage workshops at British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT). I have also worked as a clinic supervisor at the West Coast College of Massage Therapy and in one of their student outreach programs, ‘Friends for Life’, in downtown Vancouver.
My belief is that each individual person is unique and comes to me with a unique set of symptoms and history, and treatment needs to be adapted to each individual, at each visit. I carefully gather my patient’s information, their history, do postural assessment, and perform tests and palpation assessments. I develop a treatment plan based on the findings as well as my sense of what the body is communicating to me. My goal is to help correct dysfunctions, release tension in tissue, to increase circulation, to relieve pain, increase mobility, bring balance into the body, help bring a sense of ease and relaxation. I often instruct my patients in specific movement and/or stretches to do at home.
When I am not at work, I enjoy visiting with friends and family. I love the arts, music, theatre and going to the movies. I like to take part in different fitness activities like spinning, Pilates and yoga. I enjoy being outdoors, hiking, skiing, walking my dog and gardening in my community garden, where I find peace, quiet and rejuvenation.
