Massage Therapy

The owner of Phi Massage & Well-being Centre, Britta has been in practice since 1998. She decided to pursue a career in the health care field after her mothers’ experience with cancer. This has given Britta a very compassionate and balanced approach to utilizing massage therapy as a modality to work towards optimal health.

Britta believes passionately in the art of massage to reconnect with ourselves and draw out the essence of who we are and what we are each capable of. Massage is a modality that draws from many rich resources – everything from Western allopathic to Eastern alternative and from anatomically based to energy-work. Britta is continually exploring different training to work with the human body using all of these different approaches.

She has completed training with:

• Dr. Vodder’s Manual Lymph Drainage
• John Barnes Myofascial Release I, II and Unwinding
• Geoff Gluckman’s Muscle Balance and Function
• Myofascial Release with Natale Rao and Randy Persad
• Upledger Institute Craniosacral Level One
• Visceral Manipulation with Heather Inglis & Natale Rao
• Somatic Explorations Visceral Pro-section
• Somatic Explorations Intensive Dissection (Anterior Thorax, Back and Visceral)
• Lomi Lomi Massage
• Anatomy and Yogasana I & II

Britta’s massage therapy style draws heavily from Myofascial Release, Craniosacral Therapy and Lomi Lomi Massage.

Britta has also studied principles of Neuromuscular Technique, Muscle Energy Technique, Personal Training and Fitness, Acupressure, Shiatsu, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Yoga, Meditation, Reiki, Reflexology and Visualization Techniques. She is always collecting tools to draw from for her own health as well as her practice.

As a Practitioner, Britta has her own unique style that can be gentle, yet effective. She draws from the variety of modalities she has studied to create unique experiences for every person that comes in to see her, every time they come in. It is a dance that is created between her hands and your body with clinical expertise and human compassion.
Britta has an extensive, dedicated clientele that she has worked with over her 24 years of practicing. She enjoys working with all kinds of people with all kinds of concerns – from acute/specific to chronic/diffuse. She has extensive experience in working with systemic conditions. Britta welcomes individuals that have tried everything else and would like to explore a new approach.

Britta had been inspired to share her passion for massage therapy with the students of the West Coast College of Massage Therapy-Victoria Campus until 2008 and taught Myofascial Release-a modality she draws heavily from in her own practice.
