Dear Wonderful Jessica— Paul D
I am very thankful for your talent and Knowledge of how to repair our sometimes abused bodies, when I need to see you for an treatment I have always felt that you were able to locate the cause of my problem and with success treat it. I feel very lucky to have you as my therapist.
I have been a client of Megan’s for over 2 years. I started seeing her when I had pain during pregnancy with my first child as he was turned the wrong way in utero. I got so much pain relief from the massages. Megan also gave me tips for yoga poses and body positions to relieve pain between massages. I continued to see Megan, and during my second pregnancy I was going multiple times a week for massages as it was the only therapy that brought pain relief for my lower back and hips. I love her customized care and thorough knowledge of massage techniques to ease pain and tension. I can’t thank her enough for pain relief when nothing else helped! My whole family recommends Megan as she made me a happier mama!”— Kate O’Connor, RN
I have found Jessica to be the best massage therapist in Squamish. She’s been very adaptable to my changing needs and suggests complimentary actions to aid in recovery. Her calming energy tops off the experience!— Christine S.
Jessica is a wonderful massage therapist. She is prepared for every session. Having identified what extras make that client feel better both physically and psychologically, her set up assures these are in place. These include heating the massage table, using heating pads and reminders to take off necklaces. Jessica has strong fingers and hands which can provide a wide range of touch from a gentle squeeze and rub to a deep, sustained compression. As a person who lives with chronic muscle spasms I’ve learned that treatment can both hurt and feel good at the same time. Jessica is very good at helping her client find their balance with this. What I appreciate most about Jessica is that she is comfortable with the knowledge that some client’s conditions are degenerative and therefore will not get better. Jessica’s focus is on the positive of what we can do now to make you more comfortable. All together a wholistic approach to caring for clients.— K. G.

Megan is a great therapist and was a fantastic resource for me during my pregnancy! She is very knowledgeable about prenatal massage and helped to relieve the many ‘new’ aches and pains I was experiencing. She also gave me lots of great tips on exercise and stretches I should be doing as a new mum. I have been seeing Megan for a few years now, and she is one of many great therapists at Squamish Massage.— Gillian – new mum

My cycling career was put on hold following a knee surgury in June 2008. The surgury, intended to benefit me, was complicated by heavy bleeding into the joint capsule. The excessive bleeding resulted in adhesions and scar tissue that left me sidelined for nearly three years. After countless visits to various specialists throughout Canada and the USA it was the simplicity and undeniable benefits of massage therapy that would see me back into the world of competitive cycling.— Neal Kindree, Professional Mountain Biker
Squamish Therapeutics continues to provide groundbreaking research outlining the numerous medical benefits of massage therapy. I am elated to be a walking testament to the benefits of massage therapy. The confidence and alacrity that the therapists bring to the table are as important, for me, as the physical treatments.
My only regret is that I did not start a consistent routine of regular visits to Jessica at Squamish Therapeutics sooner. Migraines are now a rarity and shoulder and back pain have been significantly reduced. Personal and professional excellent client service delivery at each and every visit!— K.H.
Thanks again Megan, I’m always impressed how well you analyze my body each visit, to determine what is actually going on. I like how you describe in detail what you are finding and how it affects the rest of my body. I now have a good understanding of my problems and a clear vision of what I need to do to fix them. I’ve never had such immediate and lasting benefits from a massage before. You do fantastic work.— Mark H.
