Andrea completed her 3000 hour RMT diploma at the Vancouver College of Massage Therapy. She is an active member of the College of Massage Therapists of British Columbia and the Massage Therapy Association of BC. She also practices as a Birth and Postpartum Doula. Treatment techniques Andrea uses include: Swedish massage, myo-facial release, trigger point therapy, muscle energy techniques, hydrotherapy and orthopedic mobilizations. She holds an in depth understanding of the emotional and physical transition associated with a pregnant women’s body and the adjustment to motherhood.

Andrea brings kindness, integrity, compassion, and a great sense of humour to everything she does. When she’s not working hard to help others, she is spending time with her two crazy cats, working in her garden, cycling, dancing, and making her friends laugh till they can’t breathe.

During massage therapy treatments I use a combination of myofascial release, trigger point therapy, joint mobilizations, and Swedish massage. Through an initial assessment to further understand patients’ needs, areas of imbalance are located so that treatments can be focused on releasing tension, easing pain, and promoting relaxation. I take a holistic approach to treating anything from minor postural related aches and pains to more chronic/severe issues ensuring treatments are comprehensive and effective. I have always loved learning and practicing various healing modalities. I am also a registered acupuncturist and enjoy drawing from TCM theory and energetic systems to help support patients during their treatments. I find peace in nature and love to travel, and am excited to be welcomed into Jointworks!
