Elli graduated from Western States Chiropractic College in 1995 and attends annual continuing education in clinical, manual and rehabilitation skills to keep up to date on current best practices and what’s best for your care. Although the majority of her days are spent at Northview Health and Wellness, Elli balances that by spending quality time with her husband, son and daughter while squeezing in volunteering when time allows.
Elli strongly believe in giving back by volunteering her time, not only within her profession (the WCB liaison committee, the Board of Governors for the Canadian Chiropractic Examining Board, and the University of Western States Board of Trustees), but also within her local community of the North Shore, and within the broader community by donating blood for Canadian Blood Services.
The team approach at our clinic means great communication and collaboration with all your healthcare providers. Elli hopes you will join her passion for active living – whether it’s taking the dog for a walk around the block; skiing a local mountain; trying to keep up with the kids; or going for a hike, run or bike on one of our beautiful North Shore trails.

Growing up, I always hoped to be a part of health care and have a positive impact on people’s lives. I was drawn to massage therapy because of its evidence-based practice, holistic nature and my interest in the human body. I am a graduate from Vancouver College of Massage Therapy. I have been registered and in good standing with the College of Massage Therapist of British Columbia since 2014. I am also certified in Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) and Combined Decongestive Therapy (CDT) by the Dr. Vodder School. I have developed a great passion for the benefits of Manual Lymph Drainage on the human body. This form of therapy is very light, rhythmical and relaxing. It aids the lymphatic system in clearing the body’s tissues of painful chemicals, excess fluid, and pathogens to speed up recovery. MLD is very helpful for acute/chronic injuries, primary/secondary lymphedema, sinusitis, digestive issues, skin conditions, pre and post-surgery, migraines and concussions to name a few. My massage practice is also influenced by techniques such as myofascial release, trigger point therapy, deep tissue release, swedish massage, range of motion and stretching. I have a true passion for helping others and I am committed to creating a treatment plan that is best suited for your individual needs. I look forward to meeting you and helping you reach your goals.

Infrared sauna is a great way to detoxify your body and burn calories. Come and enjoy the quiet and tranquility that a sauna built for one provides. For 30 minutes you get to sit back, relax and let the warm rays wash over you. Burn up to 600 calories without even stepping into the gym. The healing effects will help you look and feel better with every use.
How it works:
The basic participial is similar to a standard sauna in that its goal is to make you sweat, the sweat in turn removes toxins from the body. The difference is that instead of heating the air and using steam to make the body sweat an infrared sauna uses Far Infrared rays(FIR) to heat the body directly. Far infrared rays are invisible wave that are produced by the sun as well as our own bodies. These gentle rays, which have been used by ancient Indian yogis for centuries, are able to go deeper in to the skin and heat the body without the use of steam. This allows for a more comfortable sauna experience as it achieves better results at a lower temperature. While other saunas generally run around 150-175° F (66 – 77° C) this sauna reaches a maximum heat of about 130° F (55° C).
Benefits of infrared sauna use:
Weight Loss and Detoxification
Chronic pain reduction
Improved circulation
Other conditions that are improved with the use of infrared saunas:
Blood Pressure, arteriosclerosis and other heart disease
Fibromyalgia
Skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and acne Stress
Diabetes
Arthritis
Varicose veins
Sports Injuries
Asthma
Autism
Sciatica
Menopause
PMS
Cellulite
Passive cardiovascular conditioning
Wound healing (including burns, stretch marks, scars)
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

APPOINTMENTS MUST BE BOOKED 2 WEEKS APART.
For over 24 years, Barbara has been working with and learning about people. Clients from all walks of life have worked with Barbara to find balance physically, mentally and emotionally.
Cranial Sacral Therapy and manual therapy offer a unique and powerful opportunity for healing and change to help you get back on track and move forward on your path.
Cranial Sacral Therapy (CST) is a hands-on approach that improves whole-body health and performance affecting the physical, mental and emotional aspects of who you are. It is a gentle yet powerful means of moving ‘stuck energy” in the body. Physical and emotional trauma can leave restrictions in the body. Cranial Sacral Therapy helps the body release restrictions in the soft tissues that surround the central nervous system. By freeing the central nervous system to perform at its best, Cranial Sacral Therapy can naturally help eliminate pain and stress, strengthen the bodies resistance to disease and enhances overall health and well- being.
Barbara graduated from Kikkawa College in Ontario in 1996 and has studied many other modalities. She had a thriving clinic in Toronto for 10 years before moving to New Zealand where she taught at Wellpark Natural Therapies College. From there she lived in Australia operating a private practice before movign to Chicago where she lived for 11 years. North Vancouver is now her home with her husband and two young girls. Although she is an RMT and registered in BC, her treatments use mostly Cranial Sacral Therapy and Visceral Manipulation techniques.
