Abby Andersen
(She/Her/Hers)
RMT
Abby is a recent graduate of the Registered Massage Therapy program at Camosun College, where her studies included in-depth training in anatomy, physiology, and clinical assessment. Throughout her education, she developed a special interest in understanding the human body from the inside out—an approach that continues to shape her work as a therapist. She approaches massage therapy with a whole-person perspective, working with the nervous system and drawing on the biopsychosocial model of healthcare and evidence-based practice. Her treatments are patient-centred and aim to support relaxation, pain relief, and overall wellness, while also addressing lifestyle factors that contribute to long-term health. Originally from Smithers, BC, Abby was active in equestrian sports—including eventing, dressage, and hunter/jumper disciplines—as well as track & field, volleyball, and basketball. Her own experience recovering from a torn ACL sparked her interest in healthcare and ultimately led her to pursue massage therapy, where she found a passion for helping others create meaningful and lasting change in their well-being. When she’s not in the clinic, Abby enjoys exploring the outdoors with her dog, working with horses, knitting, painting, sculpting, and discovering new local cafés. Abby is excited to continue growing as a massage therapist and looks forward to supporting clients on their unique health journeys.

Carlee Bishop
The Art & Alchemy of Healing
Carlee is a massage therapist, intuitive healer, and devoted student of the human body and spiritual experience —bringing together deep clinical knowledge, therapeutic precision, intuitive touch, and a reverence for the mysterious wisdom of healing. Her work begins with the body and energy. With extensive knowledge of clinical massage and therapeutic techniques, she looks beyond the place where pain is felt to explore the deeper patterns that may be creating it. Working with muscles, fascia, joints, connective tissue, movement patterns, and the nervous system, seeking to understand the why behind tension and restriction rather than simply chasing symptoms. Her treatments may weave together deep tissue massage, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, active and passive release, PNF stretching, cupping, lymphatic drainage, and other therapeutic techniques—always intuitively adapted to what the individual body is asking for. But there is another layer to her work. Carlee believes the body is not simply an intricate collection of muscles and bones. It is a living, breathing vessel of memory, sensation, emotion, energy, and wisdom. Sometimes a place that hurts is asking to be heard & understood. Sometimes what feels stuck in the body is connected to a pattern much deeper than muscle tension. And sometimes the most profound healing begins when we finally become quiet enough to listen. Her years of exploring Reiki, energy healing, ritual, astrology, tarot, and the subtle language of the body have given her a deeply intuitive approach to healing. She brings this awareness into her treatments without losing sight of the physical body—creating a space where clinical understanding and energetic sensitivity can meet. For Carlee, massage is both clinical and Ceremonial. It is the precision of finding the hidden holding. The patience of following a restriction back to its source. The intelligence of the nervous system. The ancient language of human touch. The quiet magic of allowing the body to remember what it feels like to be free. Her intention is to guide you into your own natural state of well being. It is to help you understand your body, reconnect with yourself, release what no longer needs to be held, and create the conditions for your own healing wisdom to emerge. Every treatment is an invitation to enter a little deeper—to soften the armour, breathe beneath the tension, and return to the sacred relationship between body, mind, spirit.
