Angela has been a Registered Massage Therapist since 2002.

An interest in a holistic approach to health care and a basic desire to help people feel better-made massage therapy a fitting career choice for Angela. She has a strong interest in fascial and visceral manipulation.

Visceral manipulation is a treatment that involves working with the mobility of internal organs (viscera). Fascia knows no bounds, therefore, pain and restrictions can spread throughout many different types of tissue. The modalities used are subtle and enhance the proper function of organs by encouraging their normal mobility and tone.

Some indications for visceral manipulation include bladder incontinence, dysmenorrhea, acid reflux (heartburn), any digestive issues, swallowing dysfunctions, anxiety, and headaches to name a few.

It is an excellent tool to have a more complete and holistic approach to treatment to allow the body to fully heal.

Lifelong local with a deep appreciation for dogs and nature, offering a multifaceted therapeutic approach.

My goal as your RMT is to help you get the most out of life by feeling your best through a comprehensive health and wellness approach. I am fascinated by the therapeutic potential of massage therapy on the body and nervous system, and the positive effects it can have on our lives.

My past experience in sports, my longtime yoga practice and love of hiking have always kept my interest in health, and moved me toward my RMT practice. Rugby and basketball first brought me to a Registered Massage Therapist as a teen athlete, enabling my quick return to playing. This later inspired me to continue learning about massage therapy and its effectiveness across the wellness spectrum, and I have practiced at Pitt Meadows Wellness Centre since graduating from WCCMT in 2017. I also continue to use massage therapy to aid my own physical and mental health.

I enjoy using a variety of techniques in treatment to address patient concerns in a personal and thorough manner. This begins with a concise interview and assessment before each treatment. Myofacial release, trigger point release, neuromuscular therapy, low grade joint mobilizations, breath work, deep tissue and general Swedish massage are some of the techniques I use. After, I offer home care suggestions that may further assist.

My treatment style adapts to many different needs. I have experience working with a variety of physical injuries, athletes, office and labour workers, pregnancy and parent life, car accident injuries, stress (including mental health conditions including and beyond depression and anxiety), those with physical and/or mental disabilities, and patients of many ages and identities. My intention is to provide massage therapy to improve pain, function and stress in a safe space for all.

Outside of work, I can be found tending to my garden and plant collection, enjoying mystery and documentary podcasts and shows, creating art, doing yoga, and spending time in nature. I have lived in Maple Ridge since early childhood, and Ridge Meadows has always been my home. I currently reside here with my husband and our dog.
