Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is a form of manual manipulation of the soft tissue (muscles, ligaments, tendons, fascia). It aims to promote pain-free function of the body by releasing tissue tension and re-orienting holding patterns.

Massage therapy is a form of manual manipulation of the soft tissue (muscles, ligaments, tendons, fascia). It aims to promote pain-free function of the body by releasing tissue tension and re-orienting holding patterns. Massage primarily works with the nervous system to facilitate the body’s self-healing ability; and because of this it has an immense capacity to support a wide variety of conditions such as anxiety, depression and chronic pain. This modality is also an exceptional rehabilitation tool for healing from surgeries and injuries (including scar tissue).

At Blue Lotus, our focus is to support you on your journey to reaching an optimal state of well-being!


Acupuncture

What is Acupuncture? Acupuncture is a form of Traditional Chinese Medicine used to promote healing and harmony in the body by restoring and balancing the flow of Qi, our vital life force. It involves the insertion of very fine, single-use needles into specific points on the body, which allows for free flow of Qi through the meridians of the body.

What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a form of Traditional Chinese Medicine used to promote healing and harmony
in the body by restoring and balancing the flow of Qi, our vital life force. It involves the
insertion of very fine, single-use needles into specific points on the body, which allows for
free flow of Qi through the meridians of the body. In TCM, it is believed that illness is a result
of blockage or imbalances in the flow of blood and Qi. From a modern perspective,
acupuncture activates the parasympathetic nervous system which is responsible for promoting
relaxation, regulating the body’s “rest and digest” functions and encouraging healing. It also
increases blood flow, which leads to better delivery of oxygen and nutrients throughout the
body.
It is used to treat a variety of conditions, including but not limited to digestive complaints,
hormonal disturbances, fertility issues, emotional regulation, and alleviating pain. Acupuncture
is also an incredible tool to promote overall wellness.

I am a Registered Acupuncturist dedicated to helping patients achieve balance and wellness through the lens of Traditional Chinese Medicine. With the use of modalities such as acupuncture, tui na (Chinese massage), fire cupping, gua sha (scraping) and moxibustion, I am able to tailor each treatment to provide personalized care. TCM is incredible in treating a wide range of conditions such as insomnia, digestive issues, stress and reproductive health, to name only a few. As a graduate from the Acupuncture program at Kootenay Columbia College, I have a deep understanding of the ancient healing arts which facilitates the treatment of the root cause of illness and not just the presenting symptoms.

I believe a safe environment enhances one’s healing, and so I take pride in providing a gentle and compassionate approach to the medicine, allowing patients to feel heard and supported. I look forward to joining you on your healing journey

Meet Dom, a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) who studied at KCC in Nelson. His education was uniquely enhanced by a small class size of just four students, providing extensive one-on-one support. Dom uses his intuition and deep listening skills to assess each client, then applies techniques such as deep pressure, myofascial release, and muscle energy to address their needs.

He prioritizes client-focused care, taking time to understand each person’s goals for the session and adapting his approach-whether that means deep tissue work or relaxation massage.

Dom’s lifelong passion for skiing and climbing has given him a understanding of biomechanics and firsthand experience with injury. Having personally benefited from massage, he brings genuine empathy and insight to his practice. He is currently expanding his knowledge by pursuing a functional exercise training program to further support his clients.

Dom strives to create a safe, supportive environment and looks forward to helping you achieve your wellness goals.

I am a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) practicing out of Nelson, BC. A genuine passion for wanting to help people led me to the health profession. I know first hand the transformative power of manual therapy. Massage therapy is an approach that encompasses so many spectrums in the therapeutic arts, and requires both skill and intuition in its modality. When it comes to pain management of soft tissue dysfunction, having an effective personalized pain care plan is imperative to the healing process. It requires trust and respect, and is the foundation that allows the process of moving toward the desired outcome. I will customize a plan to create long-term benefit and I encourage my clients to feel empowered to participate in their own physical and mental health through personalized education-base home-care for their own particular needs. My hope is to be a part of your journey by offering you the tools that will help promote the wellbeing in a holistic way.

Being a part of someone’s journey is both an inspiration and an honour. Our body is essential to our existence, we must take care of it.
