Born and raised in the Okanagan, being active has always been a part of life. Riding bikes as a kid became a passion, racing competitive BMX nationally, evolving to freestyle at a semi- professional level, and eventually to recreational mountain biking on all the trails BC has to offer. Riding bikes can be hard on a body, and significant injury led Chris to a career in helping others in their own recovery.
With a long background in industrial machining, and his own personal recovery from major injuries, Chris has a unique perspective, and each case is specifically patient based using various assessment and hands-on therapeutic massage techniques, including myofascial and deep tissue as well as Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation and stretching Chris believes that a full-spectrum approach can provide the greatest benefit and support, working with your existing programs and practices, integrating new ones, and developing a homecare program to maximize and maintain your progress. There is no denying that sometimes a massage just feels good, and can help get you over the next hurdle too.
You can often find Chris out riding, or fixing his bikes (even in the winter), or making something delicious in the kitchen.
Chantelle is passionate about helping patients move more freely, manage pain and feel their best. She graduated with honours from the Massage Therapy program at Okanagan Valley College of Massage in 2021. As a lifelong Okanagan resident, she is grateful to provide personalized, therapeutic massage therapy in the beautiful community of Glenmore in Kelowna.
Chantelle enjoys treating a wide variety of musculoskeletal conditions, including headaches, neck and shoulder pain, upper and lower back pain, plantar fasciitis, temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJD), repetitive strain and acute and chronic muscular discomfort. Whether you are recovering from an injury, managing persistent pain, maintaining an active lifestyle or seeking relief from everyday stress and tension, Chantelle strives to provide treatments that support your individual health and wellness goals.
In addition to her general therapeutic practice, Chantelle has a special interest in therapeutic facial massage and has completed additional training in facial massage, TMJ dysfunction, buccal (intraoral) massage and facial lymphatic drainage. Her dedicated facial massage treatments blend anatomy-focused therapeutic techniques with relaxation, addressing the often-overlooked muscles of the face, jaw, head and neck.
Her approach to massage therapy is both therapeutic and adaptable, incorporating a variety of techniques, including active techniques, instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM), myofascial release, trigger point release and Swedish massage. Each treatment is tailored to the patient’s individual concerns, goals, pressure preferences and comfort level.
Above all, Chantelle strives to create a welcoming and comfortable environment where patients feel heard, supported and involved in their care. Her goal is to help patients move better, feel better and continue doing the things they love.
