Andrea’s personal interest in anatomy and physiology has led to a challenging and rewarding career in exercise rehabilitation and massage therapy. She started her career in 2006 by becoming a personal trainer.

Andrea is a fully certified STOTT ® Pilates instructor. “Since completing my STOTT® training over a decade ago, I have gained a deeper understanding of the smaller, stabilizing muscles and the important role these muscles play in coordination, agility, flexibility, endurance and balance. This, in turn, affects total strength and ultimately prevents injury! Pilates balances the body from the inside out.” Andrea has recently completed her Registered Massage Therapy program. Massage therapy was a natural ‘next step’ for Andrea’s career. Using her combined tools of therapeutic massage, corrective exercise and Pilates movement patterns she guides our Clinical Pilates clients. Collaborating with a physiotherapist, her goal is to get her clients back to the active lifestyles they love!

Evan graduated from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy in 1994 whereupon he moved to White Rock to open a massage therapy clinic. After 3 years of successfully operating it he moved his clinic to his house and ran a home based clinic with 4 other RMTs for 22 years.

Over the course of years he has trained in many massage modalities but specializes in visceral manipulation through the Barral Institute out of Florida, completing levels VM 1-6 as well teaching assisting for levels 1-4. Visceral manipulation is a very gentle technique that mobilizes the organs which may have a fascial pull or restriction to release the connecting tissue that may be presenting as a pathology elsewhere in the body. It also helps to beak up any scar tissue from surgeries or traumas. Most any physical disfunction can be aided by the use of this technique.

Having just moved to the Kootenays Evan enjoys hiking, snowshoeing teaching meditation classes and listening to his extensive vinyl record collection.

If you think you may benefit or are curious as to whether you may benefit call the clinic to set up a consultation.
