Chelsea Brisco

Chelsea has had a round-about journey into Massage Therapy. She first studied Fine Arts at UBC-Okanagan where she focused on abstract painting and critical thinking. She worked as a tree planter through University and later spent another four years fighting forest fires across Canada. This physically-intensive work helped to develop her interest in health and fitness. Add to this her history in endurance-based athletics - including Biathlon, cycling, yoga, running and canoe racing - and you have someone thrilled and awed with the ability of the human body to adapt, to strengthen, and to heal. Chelsea is a graduate of the Massage Therapy program at OVCMT in Vernon, BC. As a Registered Massage Therapist, her approach is attentive and sensitive to each client's particular needs. She has found that for many of us, injury and physical dysfunction result from a lifetime of habitual postures and movements. Therefore, to create any lasting change, treatment needs to address both the recent symptoms and the underlying structure and functionality that caused them. During your appointment the focus will be on restoring balance in the body. Chelsea believes that treatment need not be painful to be effective and longer lasting results come when promoting and enhancing the body's natural healing inclination. This often takes the form of a remarkably subtle approach that will leave you with decreased pain and stress and an improvement in overall wellbeing.
