Hannah Matthysen, RMT
Registered Massage Therapist & Co-Founder
Hannah graduated from the Vancouver College of Massage Therapy in December 2022 with Honours & Clinical Distinction. She has a clinical evidence-based approach to her practice and focuses on educating and empowering her patients.
During her 550-hour clinical practicum, Hannah gained experience in her outreach clinic working with systemic conditions including HIV and hepatitis as well as neurological conditions such as cerebral palsy. Hannah focuses on treating a wide variety of conditions patients may present with and refers out when necessary. She believes integrated healthcare is a keystone to patients living their best quality of life. Hannah’s favourite area of study in school was Systemic Pathology.
Born and raised on the North Shore, she first found her passion for massage when she began bodywork treating horses; she is a Certified Equine Performance Therapist and also holds a certificate in Business Administration from Capilano University. Hannah also has an extensive background of almost 10 years in the hospitality industry working with the public. On her spare time you can find Hannah riding horses, walking her Great Dane Guinness, hiking through forests, or spending time by the ocean with her husband Dalen.
