A graduate of the West Coast College of Massage Therapy, with a diploma in Massage Therapy, Adrienne uses a holistic approach to treatment, taking into account a patient’s emotional, mental and physical state. Since graduating the very rigorous and challenging program in 2014, Adrienne thrives on continuing her education and adding to her ‘tool box’ with courses covering; TMJ, IASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization), Myofascial, LB, Sacral Balancing, Visceral, and Mental Wellness. Adrienne is passionate about creating a safe and positive space for her patients, and has taken a deep interest in helping her patients manage and understand chronic pain, including TMJ, digestive/visceral, and headaches. It is a priority for Adrienne to establish connections with her patients and use her multifaceted experience as an RMT to make a positive impact in her patients lives.
Having grown up on the island, Adrienne moved to Vancouver to pursue a career in Financial Planning, having worked towards earning a degree in International Business. However, she found that the work was unfulfilling and sought out to build a career and a life with Massage Therapy, and hasn’t looked back. These days, Adrienne can be found exploring the city by foot and taking in all that it has to offer. She looks forward to spending quality time with friends and family, and rarely misses a basketball game.
