As a local Vancouverite with a passion for health and wellness.
Owen has developed a fondness for yoga as well as a deep respect for resistance training. Years of yoga practice and volunteering at a studio have taught him the benefits of mobility, mindfulness, and relaxation. Over a decade of strength training and powerlifting has taught Owen fluency with fitness styles and how to strengthen to rehab the body. Combining this experience with Registered Massage Therapy, his treatments focus on educating patients on developing strategies for symptom management and injury prevention while still delivering an effective and relaxing massage.
“I want to empower my patients so they are not solely dependent on a therapist, but have the ability to progress with a skill set of their own.”
