About Practitoner

Stephanie began her healing path at the age of 14, after surviving a near death experience. Intriguing, adept, and curious about our physical body and movement, she completed a Bachelor’s Degree in Human Kinetics (Science of Human Motion) from UBC in 1998. Having worked as a kinesiologist in a physiotherapy clinic, she felt something was missing. This is when she started leaning holistic healing modalities with Reiki and Reflexology.

Having heard of Traditional Thai Massage briefly throughout her studies she “knew” this was a modality she had to learn. Therefore, she travelled overseas to study with Dr. Rahul Bharti at the Healing Hands Centre in Kathmandu. There, she became a Traditional Thai Massage Therapist and Teacher of Thai Massage. In addition, while in Asia, she studied Ayurvedic Massage in Dharamsala, India.

Upon returning from Asia, she “free-lanced” Traditional Thai Massage in Vancouver and worked in the Spa industry for three years. During this time, she continued her studies in Reiki, where she received her 2nd Degree initiation in Reiki and completed an Ashtanga Teacher Training course.

In 2003, Stephanie moved to Vancouver Island, in the Comox Valley, still practicing Thai Massage, Yoga, and Reiki as well as working as a Personal Trainer. After much search, she found the Reiki Master whom she wanted to complete her Reiki training in Nanaimo, where she was initiated at the Master/Teacher level.

Having received Cranio Sacral Therapy sessions or her own healing path, she was very intrigued to learn this new upcoming modality. Therefore, in 2008 she enrolled at the Langara College in Vancouver for their one year Cranio Sacral Therapy Program. She completed this course in August 2009.

Now, Stephanie lives in Nanaimo and is in service to people from her home-based business. Her philosophy is that she is here to assist you to Relax, Release, and Re-Energize your body to a new level and state of awareness.
