Registered Massage Therapist / Ashtanga Yoga Instructor

Brittany is a Registered Massage Therapist from Vancouver who graduated with honours from the Vancouver College of Massage Therapy in 2021. She has worked in a number of different multidisciplinary clinics around BC and New Zealand. 

She was a competitive dancer in her youth, and has spent the last decade expanding her knowledge of kinesthetics as a yoga practitioner. In 2014 she began teaching Ashtanga Yoga with the aim of helping her students cultivate balance within their bodies and their minds. Her background in dance and Yoga has helped her cultivate a keen interest in the limits and possibilities of the human body. 

Developing a relationship to one’s body, through manual therapy or otherwise, is something Brittany believes has immense therapeutic value. It is her aspiration to help others to experience this for themselves. To achieve this she strives to meet each person where they’re at, by being collaborative with treatment planning. She is happy to be continuing this work through massage therapy and supporting patients on their health and rehabilitation journeys. 

Brittany is trained in, and has experience using, a variety of treatment modalities including myofascial release, trigger point therapy, deep tissue massage, neuromuscular techniques, Swedish massage, and PNF stretching. Of special interest to her is working with women throughout the stages of their pregnancy and utilizing massage as a remedial tool for sports-related injuries.   

When she’s not in the clinic she is most likely playing outside. Her love for climbing rocks, surfing, flying on aerial silks, and skiing means that she has a good understanding of how to support others  with similar passions.

Physiotherapy Support Worker / Kinesiology Graduate

Scott is a recent UVic Kinesiology grad who's thrilled to be back home in Port Alberni. While he finishes his registration with the BCAK, he's here helping patients in the gym as a Physiotherapy Support Worker — and yes, he also brews a mean cup of coffee for the team.

Scott brings serious athletic credentials to the clinic. He played three seasons for the UVic Vikes men's hockey team, then transitioned into the Athletic Trainer role, where he gained hands-on experience with concussion protocols, rehab program design, and therapeutic taping. His clinical placement sharpened his skills designing rehab and strength programs for clients with a wide range of injuries.

He's passionate about helping people of all backgrounds move better, prevent injury, and rebuild confidence — whether that's through tailored exercise programming or just helping you nail the technique on that tricky rehab exercise.

Outside the clinic, you'll find Scott jogging around Sproat Lake, training in the gym, golfing, playing hockey, or exploring the hiking trails around the Valley.
