Keith Bootsma
REGISTERED MASSAGE THERAPIST
​
Keith Bootsma graduated from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy in New Westminster. Registered in 2007, he has been working in the Fraser Valley ever since. In 2009 he accepted a job at WCCMT and began teaching the massage program. In 2012 he decided to transition to a full time teaching position and at this time moved his clinical practice to a mobile massage practice. In 2016 he accepted an administrative position at WCCMT which he still holds.
Keith has lived the majority of his life in the Fraser Valley. He enjoys many sports but cycling has always been a peak interest. He still rides road, trail and mountain bikes. Staying active and moving is very important to keep the body strong and functional.
After years of sports and the many injuries that come along with it, Keith has needed to rehabilitate through numerous conditions. This has changed his clinical practice to include movement techniques such as pin and stretch, contract-relax stretching and range of motion exercise. That being said he still understand the benefits of a good relaxation massage and rest. Massages regularly include circulatory and muscle relaxation strategies to help the body start to feel more mobile and easier to move.
As areas of interest, Keith enjoys working with many different areas of the body but has spent additional time with Temporal Mandibular Joint conditions (TMJ / jaw) and conditions of the wrist, hand and forearm.
Through the interview / assessment process and informed consent, his goal is to provide client focused treatments. Due to years of time spent teaching he also enjoys educating individuals on human anatomy, especially if it pertains to the reason they are seeking massage therapy.
Please note that Keith is not accepting ICBC or WSBC clients.

A management plan will also be brought up before the end of your treatment (this is home care that depending on the interest of the patient can look like a recommendation for what to do after massage, or an exercise/resource plan to help with long term improvement/pain
reduction— this is not mandatory, but Mikayla is happy to discuss what can further help patients). Mikayla prioritizes creating a safe space for her patients. She also understands that each person has different needs, & will work with you to find what works best for you! Outside of work, Mikayla enjoys being in nature, reading, swimming & looks forward to

Taylor Logan
REGISTERED MASSAGE THERAPIST
​
At a young age, she remembers being interested in massage through her auntie, who was taking a course at the time, and from there her curiosity only stemmed. Throughout school, she was always an avid learner enjoying sciences, maths and playing team sports. However, later in life found a deeper enjoyment in inquiring to slow down and notice how the body and mind are connected.
Therefore, this led her to dive into yoga as a dedicated student, and proved to be very helpful in her personal life, aiding to give her the tools to be more aware, less reactive and more kind to herself. To deepen her knowledge even further, she completed her Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) in Costa Rica of 2018, with the intention to share this practice with others and allow more people to find the peace that yoga brings her.
The marriage of yoga and massage happened organically when Taylor took a Yin Yoga Training, further learning about the muscles, fascia and holding patterns of the body and realized how much she enjoyed diving into the anatomy of the human body in this YTT. Taylor treats each human being as a dynamic individual, looking into their particular needs and listening to their goals. She enjoys and feels honoured in being part of someone’s path to become more connected to their body, mind and soul and aid in facilitating someone’s healing journey.​

Felicia Giesbrecht
REGISTERED MASSAGE THERAPIST
she/her/her's
Felicia's journey into the health and wellness field began over ten years ago as a personal trainer.
Throughout those years she developed the belief that wellness was more than about the physical body, and to achieve overall wellness the mind and spirt aspects must be taken into consideration too. This belief is what lead her to further her education towards taking a more holistic approach to her client’s well-being, graduating from CSNN as a Holistic Nutritionist in 2013 and completing her Reiki Second Degree in 2018.
On a more personal level, Felicia became a mom to a baby girl in 2011. Her girl is her biggest inspiration to continuously move forward to be the best version of herself. Eventually, this inspiration led her to train herself and others for various fitness events like, Femsport, and Tough Mudder.
While all these experiences contributed to her decision to pursue a career in massage therapy, a close look into her dear friend's journey with cancer played a substantial role in this final decision. During that time, she witnessed many health care professionals cross her friend's path, however, the effects the massage therapist had on her friend’s well-being were most memorable. It was during these appointments that her friend experienced the longest periods of momentary mental peace and physical relief. Witnessing this ignited in Felicia an even deeper passion to support others along their health and wellness journey.
