Please note, Jarris does not offer general massage treatments, stress-relief, or relaxation massage.

Jarris is a problem-solver, and his approach is simple: to meet you where you’re at with your health, to understand the symptoms you are experiencing, and to address underlying compensation patterns by treating the body as a whole unit.

Jarris has the ability to understand and treat symptoms quickly and move on to the deeper patterns driving dysfunction. Every treatment is therefore a full body treatment, understanding that we cannot truly separate the body into parts on the path to healing. This is the true meaning of holistic.

Jarris offers an osteopathic approach with craniosacral therapy in his RMT sessions.

Appointments

• Please come in flexible clothing you can move in for assessment and treatment. No jeans.
• Please do not wear cream or lotion on the body, as Jarris’s treatments often require the need to not slide on skin
• You can expect a comprehensive assessment and treatment of the structures of the body that are at the root of the dysfunction; thus, each treatment is holistic and the areas of the body treated most often encompass far more than the areas of concern

Kim is new to the Comox Valley and very excited to share her skills as a therapist. She is originally born and raised a Vancouverite before moving to Nelson, B.C. where she graduated from Kootenay Columbia College as a Registered Massage Therapist.

Kim is passionate about helping her patients achieve optimal physical health and wellness. With her caring nature, she was drawn to the profession of massage therapy with a focus on helping alleviate pain, sometimes associated with chronic conditions. By both listening to her patients and “listening” to her hands, she creates a treatment that is specific to her patient’s needs. In her treatments, she uses a combination of deep tissue, slower myofascial work, trigger point release and active and passive stretches in order to reduce pain, restore or increase function. In her past career, which required her to sit at a desk for long hours, she found that she gravitated towards these techniques which were instrumental in alleviating her discomfort and enhancing her overall well-being whenever she saw her own RMT. While Kim is trained to treat a multitude of musculoskeletal and systemic conditions, she is particularly interested in treating seniors, those dealing with chronic pain, and treating overall stress and anxiety.

Outside of massage therapy, Kim enjoys quality time with people she loves, being active in the gym or exploring the outdoors.

Stephanie is a dedicated massage therapist who values patient-centered care. After 13 years living and working as an RMT up North in Whitehorse, she is thrilled to be back home on the West Coast.

Stephanie graduated with honours from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy in 2011. Prior to studying massage, Stephanie obtained a BSc from Dalhousie University, specializing in Health Education. As an RMT, Stephanie is passionate about educating patients so that they can develop the knowledge necessary to achieve optimal health.

Stephanie’s treatments have a strong focus in myofascial therapy. Myofascial therapy relieves pain by releasing the tension within the fascia, the web of connective tissue that spreads throughout the body and surrounds muscles, bones and organs. Fascial release assists the body in maintaining Range of Motion, eliminating Myofascial Trigger Points and reducing restrictive fascial adhesions often caused from postural restrictions or injuries.

Stephanie is a compassionate therapist who looks forward to welcoming you to her practice. Whatever your concern may be, we will work together to develop the best treatment plan for you.
