Nathaniel graduated from the 3000 course at the West Coast College of Massage Therapy in Dec 2019.

Nathaniel started his career of helping people in tech support, where he learned valuable troubleshooting skills that he utilizes to great effect in his massage therapy practice.

He is empathetic and genuinely cares about his patients well being, doing everything he can to help them get better in the shortest amount of time.

Nathaniel prefers to massage at a therapeutic pressure, where it may hurt a little bit, but it still feels good. This level is different for everyone, so those that enjoy a deeper massage, and those that enjoy a lighter massage can all leave feeling that the treatment was tailored just for them.

In July 2023 Nathaniel participated in a course for DermoNeuroModulating or DNM. This course teaches an interactive approach to manual therapy that considers the nervous system of the patient from skin cell to sense of self. Techniques are slow, light, kind, responsive and effective while being in constant communication with the patient to understand and guide their healing journey.

In his spare time Nathaniel enjoys the outdoors, hiking up mountains and scuba diving in the oceans.

Being an RMT allows me to have meaningful one-on-one sessions with clients, providing unwavering support as they embark on their wellness journey. As an active listener and a guide, I consider myself a dedicated partner in their healthcare, striving for visible results through consistent effort.

I completed the Registered Massage Therapy Program at Vancouver Career College in March 2020, gaining a solid foundation in the field. During my training, I had the privilege of working with diverse communities, including BC Women’s Hospital, BC CrossFit Games, Positive Living BC, and City Centre Care Society. I also had valuable opportunities to work at prestigious sports events like World Rugby Sevens and the Odlum Brown Tennis Tournament. These experiences further fueled my passion for different modalities such as deep tissue therapy, neuromuscular techniques, and Dr.Vodder’s techniques of Manual Lymphatic Drainage. I continue to expand my knowledge through research journals, experienced practitioners, and patient feedback. Working with patients who’ve had MVA, prenatal care, chronic pain, and sports injuries has taught me the importance of an ongoing process of learning, unlearning, and relearning.

Teamwork is a concept I highly value, and I cherish the opportunities to learn from both patients and fellow therapists. Recognizing the interconnectedness of all systems in the body, I firmly believe that pain and dysfunction have multiple contributing factors, rather than a single cause. This understanding shapes my approach, which extends beyond treating symptoms alone.

Outside of my professional endeavors, I find solace in leisurely walks and I am currently passionate about pursuing sign language. By acquiring proficiency in different languages and diverse forms of communication, I aspire to offer enhanced accessibility to a broader range of individuals. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to meet and work together with you.
