We have a new therapist starting this week! If you thought you'd have to forgo a massage treatment until the new year because everyone is full you're in luck! Francesca will be available in both Sechelt AND Gibsons this week. Book online .ca
Read about Francesca here:
I graduated from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy in 2002. I am a traditional massage therapist - a highly trained western manual therapist and also trained in eastern philosophies, practices, and therapies.
I have spent much of the 20+ years of my massage therapy career working with women before and after pregnancy and childbirth. It is a joy and an honour to help alleviate the aches and pains of pregnancy and beyond.
I use an evidence-based approach and tend to work with you holistically to engage the “rest and digest” parasympathetic nervous system. Some techniques I often use are: mindfulness and breath awareness, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, warm oil deep flow, cranial sacral therapy, osteopathic techniques, and compressions.
I also love to work to keep active people moving. I have extensive experience with this from my days practicing in a sports club, in a private practice with two superstar physios and more recently, with my North Shore active-lifestyle clients.
I use warmed oil, moderate pressure, and a slow approach to deep work.
The homecare I give can include movement, breath-body awareness, relaxation, hydrotherapy and hydration.
Raised in Vancouver, I have a strong love of its natural beauty, and often can be found in the Westcoast rainforest.
I love to travel, practice and teach ayurveda and yoga, and connect with my friends and family. I am a YA certified yoga teacher and certified ayurvedic wellness advisor who consults and teaches.
