Jess began her wellness journey while studying environmental science and geography at the University of Victoria. She realized that much like the natural world we live in; our body systems are inextricably linked. This led her to study at the West Coast College of Massage Therapy in Victoria, where she graduated in August of 2021. Jess seeks to holistically integrate these systems in her approach to massage therapy. By considering mental, physical and spiritual health in her treatments, she hopes to promote mind-body integration in those with injuries, chronic pain and stress. Jess builds her treatments on a foundation of relaxation and incorporates therapeutic techniques to optimize her clients’ recovery. Outside of the clinic, Jess likes to spend time in nature (especially surfing or skiing), snuggled up with a good book, making art, connecting with friends and cooking.

Marcel comes to Geometry with over 25 years of sport medicine and health care experience.

Marcel is a Registered Massage Therapist and an Athletic Therapist giving him a unique approach to healthcare; his approach to wellness is movement based combining traditional therapy with strength training strategies. As a massage therapist his approach is a myofascial release base combined with postural alignment strategies including joint mobilization, muscle energy and tissue release techniques.

The end goal is always to help clients become more robust and to continue to live a healthy active life.

Nikita views each client as an individual “rubik’s cube” needing a personalized drill selection in order to unlock their full potential. She uses a thorough visual and biomechanical assessment protocol to identify the root cause(s) of movement limitations. Her process is unlike conventional kinesiology treatments which typically prescribe an extensive list of isolated stretching and strengthening exercises to address nagging symptoms—if & when performed indefinitely. These often unfortunately neglect to address the underlying dysfunctional biomechanics.

Nikita aims to help clients break out of the practitioner treatment cycle by improving movement capabilities, weightroom performance, and how clients feel both in and out of the gym. She uses evolving drills geared towards cueing safety in the body to optimize the body’s ability to adapt and integrate the suggested biomechanical upgrades, essentially restoring independence and freedom from any specific exercise program. Pre- and post-session assessments determine which drills are selected and allow the client to experience the benefits and potency of the program in real time, maximizing intrinsic motivation & self-agency.

Nikita is inspired by the body’s infinite capacity to heal and looks forward to helping clients deepen their understanding, appreciation, and connection to their bodies.

So come experience where Recovery meets Rebirth…

All humans have the capacity for wellness, healing, and growth, despite the adversities we face. As a former national team athlete and current RCC, I have a unique understanding of the psychological pressures that coincide with sport-participation and managing difficult emotions. I also enjoy working with a diverse range of clients (14+) and couples to address a variety of concerns. These areas may include, but are not limited to, challenges with performance and social anxiety, depression, trauma/abuse, relational conflict, grief/loss, and disordered eating/RED-S.

My skillset helps clients rediscover their pre-existing strengths in order to create new or more useful ways of coping with the distress they may be experiencing. Often, this includes exploring the root of your discomfort in order to consider its influence on your current state of being, and the direction/pace of where you want to go.

Drawing on client centered, collaborative, & strength-based approaches, I bring a refreshing mix of patience, compassion, curiosity, and humour to each individually tailored session. My goal is to facilitate a space that feels safe enough to engage in difficult conversations, yet familiar enough to genuinely understood, accepted, and capable of creating meaningful change.

Hello everyone, my name is David Santana. I came to the path of medicine, as many do, through the search for my own healing that would allow me to recover from an arm injury and enable me to continue my career as a professional guitarist. Music has always been my passion and devotion, having studied a bachelor in music and having played guitar around the world on cruise ships. Towards the end of my studies in Chinese medicine, and to my amazement, my arms began to feel strong enough for me to play professionally again. More importantly, however, through the whole healing process, I developed much more compassion and care for the suffering that we all experience from time to time, be it psychological, physical, or spiritual. It’s my privilege and profound intention to help to ease the pain, and facilitate the healing of those who connect with me in this path. My interests are very wide; mental/emotional/spiritual disorders, musculoskeletal, digestive disorders, gynecology, just to name the most common conditions I see at my clinic. I look forward to meeting you and being of service to your growth and health.
