You complete our online intake form

Before your visit, complete our online intake form with details about your health history, reason for massage, previous or present injuries, stress levels, and activity levels. This information is crucial for creating a personalized treatment plan.

I develop your personalized treatment plan

Using the information you've provided, I will craft a customized treatment plan designed to meet your specific needs. This plan takes into account your unique health profile, ensuring a targeted and effective massage experience.

Attend your initial consultation

During your first visit to the clinic, we'll have a short conversation to review your health history and discuss your expectations. I will go over necessary consent and present my proposed treatment plan. Your input is valued, and adjustments can be made to the plan based on our initial discussion.

Enjoy your customized massage experience

Your massage session will be tailored to the specifics of your treatment plan. Whether addressing chronic pain, relieving stress, or managing injuries, the focus will be on providing you with a highly individualized and beneficial experience.

Receive post-massage guidance

After your massage, I will take a few minutes to share valuable insights, including home care stretches, suggested activities, or hydrotherapy recommendations. These personalized tips are designed to extend the benefits of your massage beyond the treatment room.

Ongoing communication regarding your health needs

Your feedback is essential. If at any point you wish to modify your treatment plan or address new concerns, I will adapt accordingly to ensure your ongoing comfort and satisfaction. Every aspect of your massage experience is carefully considered to maximize its therapeutic impact. I look forward to working together to achieve your wellness goals.

Bria Adams

Registered Massage Therapist (RMT)

As a proud graduate of the West Coast College of Massage Therapy in Victoria (class of 2018), my roots run deep on beautiful Vancouver Island. My journey into massage therapy is fuelled by a passion for helping others and a commitment to promoting health through activity and mindful movement.

My personal experience as a competitive figure skater, navigating through injuries, unveiled the profound impact of massage therapy on overall well-being. It’s not just a remedy for physical ailments but a pathway to transformation.

In my practice, I aim to cultivate a warm, inviting space where patients can receive therapeutic treatment in a relaxed environment. Each session is tailored to your unique goals and needs. My dedication lies in developing personalized treatment plans that support you in achieving optimal outcomes. While I have a keen interest in addressing various conditions, including sports injuries, neck and back issues, headaches, pre and postnatal massage and many more, I bring a holistic approach to wellness.

I integrate Swedish massage techniques with therapeutic modalities like trigger point therapy, myofascial release, dynamic/active release, and active and passive stretching. My goal is to strike the perfect balance between relaxation and therapeutic benefits.

Excitingly, I now operate my home-based clinic in Colwood near Dunsmuir Middle School. I look forward to meeting new patients, working collaboratively, and tailoring treatment plans that align with your wellness goals.

Outside the treatment room, I cherish spending time with my family, maintaining a healthy lifestyle through daily exercise, cooking, and embracing outdoor activities. I’m here to support you on your wellness journey, and I can’t wait to be a part of your story.
