Christina’s introduction to massage therapy began at home with her paternal grandmother, whose skilled and loving hands sparked a deep curiosity about hands‑on healing and the body’s capacity to recover. That early inspiration grew into a clear mission: to help people improve their mobility, reduce pain, and support both their emotional and mental well‑being.
She began the Registered Massage Therapy program in 2017 and graduated from CDI College in South Surrey in 2019. While studying, Christina worked as a bodyworker at a spa in Burnaby, where she refined her Swedish and relaxation techniques and developed strong communication skills in a clinical setting.
Before becoming an RMT, Christina studied Psychology at Langara College, which continues to inform her understanding of the mind‑body connection. Her treatments draw on a wide range of evidence‑based techniques:
Christina has worked in multidisciplinary and RMT‑focused clinics in South Surrey, Delta, and Gastown alongside chiropractors, physiotherapists, naturopathic doctors, acupuncturists, bodyworkers, and dedicated front‑desk teams. She has also served as a Lead Instructor and Teaching Assistant at Vancouver College of Massage Therapy (VCMT).
In March 2022, Christina opened her solo practice at Snow Motion Massage in Downtown Vancouver (Suite 303 – 700 West Pender St). Her practice includes general RMT, ICBC treatments, pre‑natal and post‑natal care, and infant, children, and youth massage. Through thorough assessment and special testing, she focuses on identifying the root cause of each patient’s concerns and, when appropriate, collaborates with or refers to other healthcare professionals.
Christina currently lives in Yaletown and loves working close to home. Outside of the clinic, you’ll often find her swimming, writing, boating, or walking with her husband Matt, their dog Kahdira, and their cat Casper.

Shona’s path to massage therapy began in an unexpected way. While working in administration, she suffered a neck injury in a skiing accident and was referred to an RMT for rehabilitation. During that first treatment she had an unmistakable “aha” moment realizing that helping people live with less pain was the work she truly wanted to do.
After ten years in administration, she enrolled at the West Coast College of Massage Therapy and graduated in 1995. Since then, Shona has spent decades working closely with patients to create individualized treatment and home‑care plans that fit their specific needs, goals, and lifestyles.
Her treatments often blend therapeutic and relaxation work, with a focus on reducing pain, improving mobility, and supporting long‑term function. She is committed to ongoing learning and regularly pursues continuing education courses to keep her skills current and expand the treatment options she can offer her patients.
Outside of work, Shona loves getting out on the water with her stand‑up paddle board and spending time in nature.

Teri earned a Bachelor of Science from the University of Calgary before completing her diploma in Massage Therapy at the West Coast College of Massage Therapy in Vancouver. She has been a Registered Massage Therapist in clinical practice since 1996.
Massage therapy allows Teri to combine her affinity for people, her interest in health and science, and her love of working with her hands. Whether she’s treating a specific injury or supporting overall wellness, her goal is to offer treatments that are both deeply relaxing and therapeutically effective, tailored to the needs of each person on the table.
Teri draws on multiple treatment modalities, including:
She is a confident deep‑tissue therapist and has completed post‑graduate training in fascial, cranial, and visceral techniques. Teri has a special interest in approaches that respect the body’s innate wisdom and ability to heal, and in treatments that support presence, embodiment, and a restored relationship with one’s own body.
Patients often describe her work as warm, sensitive, and grounded. When she’s not in the clinic, you’ll often find her walking the seawall or exploring the trails in Stanley Park.
