About Nikaiya:
Hi, I’m Nikaiya! (They/She)
I completed my Registered Massage Therapy program at Langara College in April 2022. Reflecting on how my practice has developed since then, one word that really stands out to me is collaboration!
I love working collaboratively with my patients to help them achieve their goals and find relief. My approach is based on co-creation, consent, and building a supportive, empowering environment where you can feel comfortable exploring what your body is capable of. Each session is tailored to meet your specific goals through a thoughtful assessment. In treatment, I use a diverse range of techniques, including myofascial release, active and passive stretching, trigger point release, breath work, joint mobilizations, and Swedish massage, to help you feel resourced and supported, no matter what you’re coming in with.
Whether you are looking to relax, improve mobility, recover from an injury, or manage chronic pain, I’m here to help guide you on your journey!

Together, you will establish a partnership to support your recovery from the week’s adventures by holistically ebbing stress from your body while addressing your specific structures of concern with a combination of myofascial release, traditional chinese acupressure point work, traditional swedish massage, breathwork and various orthopaedic techniques including joint mobilizations.
The human body is a remarkably intricate structure of synergistically resilient pieces designed to move and regular maintenance is essential for moving optimally. Because of this, Ben relishes sharing tips and exercises on how to keep our joints and body moving smoothly to build strong, mobile, resilient bodies well into the autumn of our lives.

About Sophie:
www.sophiehobruecker.com
My treatments are often slow, strong and sporty, and your massage will be tailored to your current needs and mood. It can range from a focused, dynamic session with informative dialogue to a soothing reset for your nervous system. I integrate a variety of modalities including deep tissue and Swedish massage therapy, trigger point therapy, passive and active stretching, myofascial release therapy, dynamic release, breathwork and body awareness cues, as well as joint mobilizations into fundamentally relaxing treatments.
My approach to massage is positively client-centered. I strive to create a safe, collaborative treatment space where you can reconnect with yourself: your involvement in some techniques encourages you to uncover, question, and challenge your functional or psychological limitations.
Outside of the treatment room, I like to read, get eight hours of sleep, write postcards, and eat pastries from Livia. I love to move: yoga brings me community, breath and space; hiking supports my perseverance, my wide-eyed wonder, and a responsible relationship to both safety and risk; and decades of soccer have developed in me a sweet sense of teamwork, the hunger for success, and the patience and curiosity bound in injury and recovery. Every day, I endeavor to strengthen my relationship with rest.
I am a Registered Massage Therapist in good standing with the College of Massage Therapists of British Columbia. I graduated from the 3,000-hour massage therapy program at Vancouver College of Massage Therapy where my academic distinction was recognized with the Dean’s list honours. I was awarded with the college’s Heart Award for my integrity, compassion, and dedication to the profession’s community.
