A graduate of WCCMT, Ben was Valedictorian and chosen by his peers and tutors to be awarded the Joe Koscak Leadership Award for exemplifying integrity, passion, perseverance, a passionate heart and a caring soul.
Depending on your day’s demands, your treatment with Ben can be calm, soothing and flowing, or active, performance optimization and rehab oriented - or an amalgamation of both.
And if you are just a little unsure of where massage therapy can support your recovery, that is great! Benjamin will be delighted to begin exploring your own unique path with you.
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.
He deeply believes that everyone has the power to move better and feel better, and he would be honoured to be a part of that process with you.

About:
Hi, I’m Stella!
After starting my education in Kinesiology, I switched to, and graduated from the Registered Massage Therapy Program at Langara.
My practice is based on my fascination and respect for our bodies’ natural wisdom and desire to move towards balance. My approach to treatment will be unique to each person I work with. You know your body better than anyone, and I believe in building a treatment plan together that caters to what works best for you. That being said, the techniques I enjoy using the most are myofascial release, active release, trigger point release, active and passive stretching and joint play. Regardless of why you’re coming in, I find treatments are most effective and enjoyable when working together to reach your goals.
I am dedicated to creating a safe space and welcoming anyone, no matter why you’re coming in or how you present yourself, including your pronouns, gender expression and identity.

My treatments are often slow, strong and sporty, 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.

As an RMT, Tempo most enjoys:
• supporting peoples’ adventures and subsequent recovery - whether that’s a bike-packing trip, Crossfit, marathon prep, dragon boat racing, an intense weekend of dancing, or many hours spent on a favourite video game.
• facilitating experiences of nervous system co-regulation.
• helping manage and find effective self-care strategies for symptoms of conditions fuelled/exacerbated by stress, including: headaches, migraines, TMJ-related pain and dysfunction, repetitive strain injuries, anxiety, insomnia, fibromyalgia, ME/CFS, and other chronic health conditions.
Depending on your goals and preferences, Tempo’s treatment style can vary from slow, fluid, soothing techniques… to a more active sports-like approach… or a mix of something in between.
They value curiosity and feel passionately about bodily autonomy and approaching healthcare from a collaborative and strengths-focused perspective that recognizes people, and their bodies, as remarkably clever at adaptation, growth, and healing.
