Meike M.Hall, RMT

Registered Massage Therapist

Meike has learned that creating space to move and breathe freely within one’s own body can help manage, even sometimes overcome, a wide variety of troubles experienced in the body. This was first introduced via yoga practice, exploring how movement and breath work to expand and ground the psyche while creating space and fluidity in the body. Through yoga she was introduced to health care professionals who used their understanding of anatomy and physiology as well as their appreciation of yogic principles to facilitate healing and restoration from injury or dysfunction.

Inspired by these professionals, Meike decided to change careers and left the world of corporate banking to become a Registered Massage Therapist, receiving her licence in May 2019. With joy she joined the team at Quantum Massage Therapy, encouraged by the experience and practice of its owners and fellow practitioners. Meike is very enthusiastic in her desire to help people achieve wellness.

A variety of techniques may be employed during a session to address the concerns of her patients, accompanied by guided breathing, working to create openness and ‘space’ in the body so you can get back to doing what it is that brings you life.

In 2020 Meike completed extensive training in Manual Lymphatic Drainage with Dr. Vodder School International.  Manual Lymphatic Drainage is especially valuable for management of chronic edema conditions, such as lymphedema, but can also be effective in supporting pre/post-surgical procedures, chronic migraines, accelerated healing in acute physical trauma and as an adjunct to internal detox programs.

Experience:

• BC Women’s Hospital – Prenatal Massage (Nov-Dec 2018)
• Graduated from West Coast College of Massage Therapy in 2018
• Massage Therapy During the Childbearing Year: Pregnancy certificate from Family Center Therapeutics (July 2019)
• Level 1 Manual Lymphatic Drainage from Dr. Vodder School International (March 2020)
• Level 2 Manual Lymphatic Drainage – Orthopaedic Treatment from Dr. Vodder School International (July 2020)
• Level 3 Manual Lymphatic Drainage – Lymphedema Management from Dr. Vodder School International (Sept 2020)

Victor Fehr, RMT

Registered Massage Therapist

Victor graduated from the 2200 hour Registered Massage Therapy program at West Coast College of Massage Therapy in 2015. During his clinical training, he volunteered with the Vancouver Whitecaps, the Vancouver Friends for Life Society and outreach programs with healthcare concerns including Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s and Cerebral Palsy. He has experience with a wide variety of healthcare concerns including those of office workers, athletes and injuries from moderate to life changing.

Victor’s mechanical background lends itself well to his understanding of the body and the stresses involved in injury. He employs a variety of techniques including stretching, myofascial release, trigger point release, joint mobilization and general Swedish massage in his practice in order to aid in his patients’ recovery. Therapeutic exercise is also used in his practice as he believes the prevention of future injury to be just as important as rehabilitation.

Victor is accepting new patients and looks forward to helping his patients with their recovery and achieving their healthcare goals.
