Carla was born and raised in the heart of North Vancouver, where she gained her love of sports, nature and mountain biking.  During high school, she was an avid basketball and soccer player and still has a great love of sports of all kinds, often trying out new activities, like bouldering or axe throwing.  She also enjoys cooking new recipes, having nerf battles, going for Pokemon Go adventures, and playing video games.  Carla is newly married and lives in North Vancouver with her husband, and their cat Jade.

A variety of injuries led her to investigate healing from health care practices of various disciplines where she discovered the benefits of massage therapy.  After experiencing its value firsthand, she found her calling in massage therapy and decided to pursue this field of study.  She graduated from Vancouver College of Massage Therapy and has a Bachelor of Kinesiology from the University of British Columbia.

Carla’s approach to massage therapy is tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals. She uses a combination of techniques, primarily Swedish massage and stretching, to address specific areas of tension and discomfort.  She provides guidance on stretching, strengthening, postural modifications, and self-care practices to help clients maintain their progress outside of sessions.  Her previous injuries and life experiences have bolstered her passion for helping people navigate their path to wellness and achieve their health goals.
