With a background in nearly every sport you can name—most notably hockey, football, and lacrosse—Jacob developed a deep understanding of athletic performance and recovery. Some of his proudest athletic achievements include winning provincial gold and silver medals in lacrosse, as well as being named Defensive Player of the Year in his senior year of high school football. These experiences taught him the value of resilience, discipline, and teamwork, which he now carries into his massage therapy practice.

Jacob is passionate about helping people feel and move better. He takes pride in providing personalized care through thorough assessments and tailored treatments, with a focus on athletic rehabilitation and deep tissue massage. Using techniques such as myofascial release and deep tissue work, Jacob creates treatments designed to help each client achieve their goals and return to the activities they love as quickly and safely as possible.

When he’s not in the clinic, Jacob enjoys staying active outdoors—whether it’s biking, running, hiking, or walking his dog. He also loves working out, spending time with friends, and making the most of Vancouver’s beautiful scenery (usually with good food involved).

Meet Ashley—a Certified Clinical Nutritionist (CNP) who’s not about quick fixes or one-size-fits-all plans. She’s here to help you get to the root cause of your health concerns, ditch the guesswork, and feel your best from the inside out.

Born and raised in North Vancouver, Ashley spent a few years playing hockey in New York before making her way back home—and she couldn’t be happier to be back. When she’s not working with clients, you’ll find her outside soaking up nature, getting her hands dirty in the garden, or lacing up her skates (still playing hockey, averagely but passionately).

With a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and experience working in the mental health field, Ashley has a deep understanding of the mind-body connection. She knows firsthand how stress, gut health, and lifestyle are all deeply linked. After navigating her own struggles with digestive issues and anxiety, she discovered the power of holistic nutrition—and never looked back. Now, she’s on a mission to help others do the same, blending real-life, sustainable habits with functional lab testing to take the mystery out of what’s really going on inside. More than anything, she wants her clients to feel heard, supported, and truly at home in their bodies again.
