Shelby brings over a decade of health science education to her massage therapy practice. Combining extensive knowledge with a compassionate approach is the foundation for her approach to patient-centred care. She was first introduced to the therapeutic effects of manual therapy as a patient seeking relief from chronic pain. This personal understanding of pain and recovery is at the root of her approach to treatment.

Shelby’s practice primarily supports athletes, ICBC patients and Healthcare workers.
