Registered Acupuncture (R.Ac.), Registered Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner (TCMP)

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that involves inserting thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body, called acupoints, to promote healing and restore balance. According to Chinese medicine, these points lie along pathways called meridians, which carry the body’s vital energy, or Qi. The practice is believed to unblock or balance Qi, alleviating pain and improvi... Read More

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that involves inserting thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body, called acupoints, to promote healing and restore balance. According to Chinese medicine, these points lie along pathways called meridians, which carry the body’s vital energy, or Qi. The practice is believed to unblock or balance Qi, alleviating pain and improving overall health. Modern medical research suggests acupuncture may stimulate the nervous system, improve blood flow, and release natural pain-relieving chemicals like endorphins. It’s commonly used for conditions such as chronic pain, stress, anxiety, insomnia, nausea, and allergies.

Reiki is energetic medicine. This healing modality was developed in Japan the 19th century by Dr. Mikau Usui for the purpose of enlightenment, stress relief and relaxation. Reiki is based on the belief that within all of us flows a Universal Life Force Energy. When we have ample life force energy flowing within us, we are more resilient to stress and feel a sense of calm and joy. Reiki uses the "laying on of hands" to subtly and safely heal energetic blockages, allowing you to restore vibrancy to your energetic system. Please note: reiki sessions are not typically covered by extended health insurance.

Massage has always been a part of Josh’s life. Growing up Filipinx, massage exchange was common between generations and massage was freely given from grandparents, parents and children within the family. So as he grew older, it was only natural that he would practice on friends and family. Josh eventually discovered his other passion in life – dance. As his dance technique became more sophisticated he found that his massage therapy skills mirrored that sophistication as well. Complementing his art, he decided to further his studies in this field. Now, as a Registered Massage Therapist he is excited to share his passion with our community. His style draws predominantly from his schooling in Holistic Spa Therapy and Registered Massage Therapy programs to treat a range of orthopedic and systemic conditions.

Josh strives to include proper stretching, healthy habits, and injury prevention as other aspects of health within an active rehabilitation plan to provide his clients with the most positive outcome.

We all have our own unique experiences and needs. My goal is to provide an inclusive, non-judgmental space that meets you where you’re at and helps you get to where you’d like to be. Massage can be beneficial both physically and mentally, especially when you can feel truly at ease knowing that you will be supported and understood.

I graduated from the Registered Massage Therapy program at Langara College in 2022. I work with a range of techniques and pressure levels that are tailored to your individual needs. I tend to offer a firm but slower approach to help maintain control and allow time for feedback from you and your tissues, enabling relief and relaxation to coexist.

Communication and consent are important to me. My aim is to empower you to communicate your needs regarding your body, mind, and personal space at any point before, during, or after treatment.

I’m a big advocate for mental health, with my own lived experience navigating that journey. My hope is that this understanding deepens the support I can provide through massage therapy, which is a space where both body and mind can find relief.

Overall, I am curious, compassionate, and a bit of a goofball. Outside the clinic, I’m a devoted cat mom to Enid, a lover of arts and culture, and a firm believer in doing what brings you joy!

Note: While I offer direct billing to most insurance providers, it may take time before I am able to offer certain insurance companies.

I am a self-care advocate and massage connoisseur who considers massage therapy the most valuable tool in my own healthcare toolbox. Sharing the therapeutic gift of touch has been my life’s work.

With more than 20 years of combined experience as a Licensed Aesthetician (specializing in massage, bodycare, facials, and skincare), a Reflexologist and now a Registered Massage Therapist, I bring a depth of skill and compassion to every session. I am a proud graduate of the 3000-hour program at Vancouver College of Massage Therapy, with professional interests that include the art and science of deep relaxation, stress relief, injury recovery, nervous system regulation, and women’s health.

I see the treatment room as a sanctuary for calm healing, rest, and wellbeing. I strive to create a light-hearted, soothing environment where my clients feel both cared for and at ease. My professionalism, empathy, and positive spirit are shaped by my career and life experiences—and are at the heart of my massage practice.

I am originally from Northwest BC, with roots on Vancouver Island and in Vancouver, where I now live and practice. I work at Grant Street Wellness as the Clinic Owner and RMT, and as a visiting RMT at BC Women’s and Children’s Hospital and the BC Cancer Agency.

My ultimate goal is to help others rest, recover, and find peace on their life’s journey, and to have some fun while doing it.
