I am a Registered Massage Therapist with the College of Massage Therapists of British Columbia and the Natural Health Practitioners of Canada (NHPC). I have a 2200hr Remedial Massage Diploma; which I received with honours from MH Vicars School of Massage Therapy in Calgary, AB in 2017.

I have extensive training in traditional Swedish Massage. This includes: deep tissue, sport massage, trigger point therapy, TMJ (jaw) and whiplash treatments, active inhibition techniques, myofascial release, hydrotherapy, and remedial strengthening and stretching techniques. My continuing education has been learning a focused treatment approach to myofascial restrictions.

The continuing education I have used to broaden my practice includes:

John F. Barnes Myofascial Release Approach: Level 1 and Level 2 - This approach is a slow application of sustained pressure into fascial restrictions, tightness or pain.

Anatomy Trains in Structure and Function. This also involves treating the fascial system, in a different way through observing posture and gait patterns and treating the respective fascial chains involved with dysfunctions observed.

Eric Purves: The science of pain, and chronic pain management. This course has given me a new perspective on different reasons why we have pain, and how I as an RMT can address it with massage.

Muva Dynamic Movement Education: Therapeutic Yoga as Exercise Prescription: For Shoulder Health.
​
I will always be learning, and moving forward with my practice. I am eager to continue challenging myself so that I may provide an effective, lasting treatment to my patients.

Nancy van Es
(She/Her/Hers)

Nancy has been an active member of the College of Massage Therapists of British Columbia since 2018. She completed her Remedial Massage Diploma, graduating with honours in 2017. Nancy continues with post graduate studies in myofascial release, pain science and visceral manipulation.

Nancys approach to treatment is based on collaboration with both her patients and colleagues. By utilizing her own training in anatomy and physiology, patients health history and their own unique knowledge of their bodies to create a personalized and effective treatment plan. She considers each patient from a biopsychosocial model of care and strives to understand her patients as a whole.

With her practice deeply rooted in education, she enjoys extending that value to her patients. Nancy uses a combination of techniques including Swedish massage and myofascial release to assess and treat patients suffering from acute and chronic pain, TMJ (jaw) dysfunction, post surgery/injury rehabilitation headaches, and other biomechanic dysfunctions.

Nancys goal is to educate patients on their condition and possible causative factors to help empower them to take an active role in their rehabilitation and self care process.

In her spare time Nancy enjoys an active lifestyle of skiing, biking, hiking and digging around in her garden.
