Marlène graduated from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy and is registered with the College of Massage Therapist of BC. Marlène’s manual therapy background includes the Rolfing Structural Integration program based in Boulder Colorado. She is also influenced by two decades of movement practices ranging from yoga to structural integration movements and her background in academia via her M.Sc.

Marlène’s diverse background comes forth in her treatments, benefiting all walks of life from pro or amateur athletes, to workers who perform tasks with repetitive motions, to folks simply in search of positive changes in their well-being. Her approach focuses both on increasing flexibility, balance and coordination, as well as energy revitalization with the goal of overall increased comfort in the body.

Her framework uses slow sustained contact with varying pressure that ranges from a few ounces to a few kilos. She will check in with you during treatment to ensure that her depth and pace is comfortable for you. During a session, she may focus on one area of your body more than the other and may ask you to actively participate by assisting in movement of your body in different ways. The majority of the hands-on portion of treatment is completed on the massage table but treatment may also involve movement off of the table. For this reason, Marlène asks that you wear gym wear, swimwear or running shorts and a loose t-shirt or sports bra.

March 2025: Please note that Marco is not accepting new ICBC patients at this time.

After completing a Specialized Honours degree in Kinesiology and Health Science at York University, Marco graduated with a Masters of Science in Physical Therapy from the University of Western Ontario in 2013.

Marco has been a member of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association and the Orthopaedic and Sports Divisions since 2011. His physiotherapy practice focuses on the body as a whole. He demonstrates this by utilizing manual therapy and exercise prescription to correct and resolve muscle imbalances that lead to musculoskeletal injury and impairments, which alternatively can also lead to enhancements in performance. He also uses acupuncture and dry needling, taping and other modalities to help patients achieve their goals.

Marco’s main interest lies in concussion rehabilitation. Marco can empathize with individuals struggling with this condition, having had multiple concussions while growing up playing sports. This has led him to complete several courses specifically focused on the latest research and treatment strategies for mild traumatic brain injuries. In addition to his concussion training, Marco has also completed his advanced level vestibular training to treat conditions such as vertigo and dizziness. He is also a Certified Acupuncture Practitioner recognized by the Acupuncture Foundation of Canada Institute, and is certified in Functional Dry Needling by Kinetacore. Marco takes part in athletic therapy training and dedicates his time to treat and train semi-professional sport teams, such as the Westshore Rebels junior football team.

Marco’s goal with each patient is to educate them on their condition and their causes. By doing so he can empower his patients to take an active role in their rehabilitation process. He is a firm believer that an active treatment plan is the key to a successful recovery. Furthermore, he is actively pursuing a wide range of post-graduate education courses to further his knowledge and clinical skills in manual therapy, exercise prescription, postural correction/re-alignment, and the treatment of various musculoskeletal impairments.

To keep active himself, Marco currently participates in strength training, road cycling, snowboarding, hiking, and the occasional round of golf. Marco is no stranger to competitive sports; hockey and lacrosse were his primary sports growing up. He played for the AAA Toronto Redwings, and the Mimico Mountaineers. Additional hobbies that capture Marco’s interest include photography and writing music.

Hi, I’m Elspeth.

I became an RMT because I’m fascinated with helping people transform how they feel and perform.

Over the years, I’ve seen and experienced how frustrating it can be to deal with injuries, recurring pain and chronic stress. I love how effective good, individualised care can be when it comes to helping people regain confidence and break the cycle of chronic symptoms.

My treatment style could be described as interactive, focused and intuitive. I aim to create an environment where each client feels at ease and truly listened to.

I use joint mobilisations, active and passive movement, and soft tissue work that involves slow, sustained holds on targeted areas. While treatment can elicit some strong sensations, I make sure to always work within the range of what feels safe and comfortable for each person.

When attending a treatment with me, clients are invited to bring loose sports clothes (eg. shorts and a sports bra) to their appointment. This is totally optional and gives us more options for movement and positioning if we need them.
