John worked in Advertising many years and then switched to massage therapy
as his goal was to help people. After training at West Coast College for
three years, he was able to fulfill his dream of becoming a massage
therapist.
After graduation, John followed many different massage routes. Training in
muscle energy technique helps him treat very orthopedically, while training
in cranial sacral brought out the passion for subtle massage. Cranio Sacral
is an excellent discipline for trauma, especially motor vehicle accidents
and concussions, as well as balancing out the autonomic nervous system
(fight/flight versus rest/digest). John also does deep tissue work and spent
two years working in Whistler. His Whistler time was an amazing education in
sports injuries.
His style is to help you heal by whatever combination of deep massage or
light massage and post massage stretching and strengthening you need.
And part of this therapy is to also bring the balance of relaxation into your healing.
John lives in the Kitsilano area of Vancouver and is a life-long skier, and
these days enjoys walking and golfing. He loves to travel and has seen a lot
of the world. Meeting new people and helping on their recovery journey is a
natural extension of his guiding principle of “helping you live better in
your world."
