Mikaela is a Registered Massage Therapist practicing on the land of the Coast Salish peoples–Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lō and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nations (Richmond and Vancouver), BC.

As a child she played many sports with abandon, frequently leading to sprained ankles and a few broken bones. As an adult she has settled into her chosen sport of triathlon - she still can’t choose just one sport. She has been consistently training and racing for 6 years. As a solid age-group mid-packer she understands the joyful pain of racing, and the devastation of being sidelined with injury.

With her background in sports, she is a strong believer that movement is for everyone. Her objective as she works with her patients is to improve pain free movement and assist them as they pursue their goals. She understands that those goals can range from enjoyment of short walks through to elite sports performance. Her desire for each patient she sees is to improve their longevity in movement and in their chosen sport.

She graduated in 2014 from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy and later returned as a member of the faculty to assist with instruction of the Regional and Spinal Orthopaedics course as a teaching assistant. She soon took on the role of lead instructor for two semesters. This experience has reinforced her passion to effectively provide conservative and non-invasive treatment options for many orthopaedic conditions. When orthopaedic conditions require more invasive procedures, such as surgery, she works to compliment her patients’ rehab processes and help them return to healthy movement.
