Born and raised in the Kootenays, Tristan decided to follow in his parent’s footsteps after high school and became a second-generation tree planter. For over a decade he worked as an industrial athlete, traveling, surfing, or skiing in his off-seasons. During this time, he relied on regular massage therapy to keep him balanced and high-functioning in his work. In 2019 he decided to switch career paths and become an RMT, graduating from the West Coast College of Massage in Victoria. After becoming a father, Tristan has made the move back to his hometown to be closer to his family. He is excited to bring his practice to such an active and growing community.
As an RMT Tristan strives to provide comprehensive, client-centered care. Creating a welcoming and relaxing environment, to meet you wherever you are, and work with you toward your overall health goals. He aims to find the most applicable tools in the form of treatment modalities, and home care to assist you in making progress toward better physical and mental well-being. He seeks to empower his clients with in-depth knowledge to help them better understand and interpret the biofeedback of pain, tension, and stress. Increasing our awareness of what our body is telling us strengthens our mind-body connection and allows us to develop healthier habits.
