She/Her/Hers
As a Registered Massage Therapist since 2015, Chelsea’s approach is attentive and
sensitive to each client’s particular needs. With a trauma-informed and evidence-based
practice, she has developed a special interest in the meeting place of persistent pain
conditions, trauma, mental health and physical wellbeing in addition to perinatal and
child/infant massage. Emphasis is placed on the creation of a safe space that is
inclusive and welcoming. Chelsea believes that safe healing touch has a powerful role
to play in our lives and she is continually thrilled and awed with the ability of the human
body to adapt, to strengthen, and to heal.
Chelsea has found that treatment need not be painful to be effective and longer lasting
results often come when promoting and enhancing the body’s natural healing
inclination. This is often achieved through a subtle approach with the goal of decreased
pain and stress and an improvement in overall wellbeing.
Treatments are customized to the individual. Clients’ needs are addressed through a
variety of techniques intended to achieve long-term health – whether that means relief
from pain, rehabilitation after an injury or surgery, or assisting lifestyle and exercise
goals. You will also be provided with a relevant homecare routine in the form of
strengthening, stretching and/or habitual changes to facilitate your road to health.
Chelsea encourages her clients to play an active role in this process, and will regularly
refer to other modalities to be used in concert with massage therapy, believing that the
most effective therapy is a team effort.
Hello! I’m Mary, a Registered Massage Therapist with over 14 years of experience in both clinic and spa settings across BC and Ontario. I graduated from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy in Victoria in 2010 and recently spent 7.5 years practicing at Reach Health in Sidney, BC.
Before becoming an RMT, I earned a BA in Kinesiology and spent several years tree planting and traveling, which instilled in me a deep appreciation for nature and physical well-being. I’m thrilled to now call the Comox Valley home, and I look forward to exploring the outdoors and becoming an active member of this beautiful community.
My approach to massage therapy is integrative and patient-centered. I strive to create a calm, relaxing environment while focusing on your unique therapeutic goals. Whether you are seeking relief from chronic pain, recovering from an injury, or simply looking to unwind, I work with you to tailor each treatment to your needs.
I use a variety of techniques, including deep tissue, Swedish massage, range of motion work, stretching, and fascial techniques. I recognize that each person responds differently to pressure, so I’m happy to adapt my approach—whether you prefer firm pressure or a lighter touch. Together, we’ll find the balance that works best for you.
I believe in building strong therapeutic relationships and offering personalized homecare advice to support your long-term well-being. It’s my goal to help you feel more resilient, relaxed, and empowered in your body.
