Krista grew up in Kamloops and lives here with her young family. Through her school years she participated in dance classes, eventually becoming an instructor. In order to pursue teaching ballet Krista went to the Royal Winnipeg Ballet for the teacher training program. During this journey she met some amazing Registered Massage Therapists and decided to switch career paths.

Krista stayed in Winnipeg and went to Wellington College of Remedial Massage Therapy. The principal of the college is an osteopathic practitioner and this influenced the treatment style taught in this school. Krista is fascinated by the things she can learn about the body through massage. She chose massage as a career because she wants people to be able to do what they enjoy without pain. Already understanding body mechanics and assessment made it seem like massage was a great way to help people. Krista was a busy Bodyworker in Winnipeg since 2014 until she took a break to start a family. Krista has volunteered with the MS society, Tache long-term care center, and Kamloops Sexual Assault Couselling Center. Krista still enjoys dance as well as yoga, weight training, and snowshoeing. In her spare time she is learning to paint and likes photography. Krista and her family love camping in the backcountry, going to the beach and hiking. You may see her with her family hiking the trails and if you’re lucky you might see one of Krista’s cats with her on an outing.

What to Expect From Treatment: To achieve desired results Krista uses assessment of musculoskeletal dysfunction to determine the cause of pain. She works on improving alignment and range of motion, restoring function to the body. Krista has taken courses in pregnancy massage, breast tissue massage, fascial release, fascial chains, lymphatic drainage, hot stone, and Indian head massage..

Krista offers Non-registered Therapeutic Massage and Hot Stone Therapy.
