Mark Ramos Registered Massage Therapy
I am a Registered Massage Therapist with a strong focus on musculoskeletal health, movement, and performance-based care. Outside the treatment room, Iโm deeply involved in basketball, boxing, and strength training, which shapes how I assess, treat, and understand the body under real-world physical demands.
My approach blends thorough assessment with hands-on, results-driven treatment. I work with individuals managing neck, shoulder, and back pain, recovering from injury, or looking to stay resilient through sport and training. Treatments are tailored to each person and may include Swedish massage, deep tissue techniques, myofascial therapy, and targeted therapeutic work to restore movement and reduce pain.
Iโm passionate about helping people move better, feel stronger, and return confidently to their daily activities, training, and sport. Whether youโre rehabbing an injury or pushing your physical limits, my goal is to support long-term recovery, performance, and resilience.

Edmar Reyes Non- Registered Massage Therapy
Edmar is a graduate of the West Coast College of Massage Therapy with a foundational background in Kinesiology and Sport Sciences. His approach to massage is holistic and highly adaptive, utilizing a blend of Swedish, deep-tissue, and sports rehabilitation techniques. By combining critical thinking with intuitive touch, he ensures each treatment is tailored to the specific recovery and maintenance goals of his clients.
His passion for the field was inspired by his 21-year career as a competitive breakdancer, during which he ranked in the top 21 in Canada for the 2024 Olympic qualifiers. Having navigated his own recovery through injuries in martial arts, wrestling, and track and field, Edmar transitioned from patient to practitioner to help others achieve optimal body awareness and performance.
When he isnโt in the clinic, Edmar maintains a rigorous personal training schedule that includes Olympic lifting, yoga, and functional strength conditioning. This lifetime of diverse movement gives him a unique, firsthand understanding of body mechanics, which he applies daily to provide high-quality, effective care for his patients.

Dr. Micaela Bremner Chiropractor
Hi, Iโm Dr. Micaela (Dickhof) Bremner.
Iโm a Canadian-trained chiropractor who believes great care should be thoughtful, evidence-based, and tailored to real life. I graduated with honours from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in 2022, after completing my Bachelor of Kinesiology at the University of British Columbiaโbecause understanding how the body moves (and sometimes misbehaves) has always fascinated me.
I work with people of all ages and activity levelsโfrom kids and teens to parents and grandparents, runners and those training for half marathons, desk workers, and outdoor enthusiasts who love to stay active. My treatment style blends hands-on care like manual soft tissue release, joint mobilizations, and cupping, with rehabilitation exercises designed to help you move better, recover faster, and stay active long-term.
Every body is different, and I love helping patients feel stronger, more confident, and more comfortable doing the things that matter most to themโwhether thatโs training for a race, spending time outdoors, working at a desk, or keeping up with family life.
While I enjoy treating a wide variety of conditions, my favourite people to work with include womenโs health care (pregnancy, postpartum, and menopause), shoulder injuries, hip pain, and lower back pain.
