Tanya’s interest in massage therapy and health care began from a young age. Through out childhood and university she has studied many forms of dance and competed extensively in track & field. Throughout those years, massage was always her chosen method to ease her own muscular ailments and injuries. After completing three years at University of Saskatchewan with a major in Anatomy/Physiology and feeling at a loss with her career path, she hopped on a bus to San Diego California to complete a holistic massage program at the International Professional School of Bodywork. An Institute of Psycho-Structural Balancing, the program integrated the physical, emotional, and intellectual aspects of bodywork by focusing on the movement, structure and form of Yoga and Tai Chi. It was there that she found her calling. Tanya moved to Victoria where she graduated from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy and became a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) in 2006. At WCCMT Tanya developed a more scientific foundation for her holistic and formatively intuitive massage practice.

Tanya is currently completing her Bachelor’s in Health Science. She is looking forward to continued growth as a massage therapist and always seeks to provide the best care for her patients.
