About Me

Shayla is a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT), Kinesiologist, and Fascial Stretch Therapist (FST) with several years of hands-on experience helping clients move better, recover faster, and feel their best. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology and brings a strong multidisciplinary approach to every treatment.

Background & Professional Journey

Before becoming an RMT and Kinesiologist, Shayla gained extensive experience in the fitness and rehabilitation field through roles such as:

  • Personal Trainer
  • Weight Room Supervisor at Simon Fraser University (SFU)
  • Fitness Coordinator at Vancouver General Hospital (VGH)

These roles helped her build a deep foundation in exercise prescription, injury prevention, and athletic performance, all of which continue to shape her clinical treatments today.

Client Experience & Treatment Approach

Shayla has supported a diverse range of individuals, including:

  • Office workers dealing with postural tension
  • Athletes recovering from sports injuries
  • Clients managing chronic pain, stress, or mobility limitations

Her treatment style blends:

  • Therapeutic Massage
  • Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST)
  • Movement-based and corrective exercise strategies

All treatments are tailored to each client’s unique needs, goals, and lifestyle.

Interests & Personal Life

Outside the clinic, Shayla enjoys staying active, training at the gym, and exploring new ways to challenge both her body and mind.
