OUR VANCOUVER MASSAGE THERAPISTS
Vicki, Registered Massage Therapist
Vicky graduated from Vancouver Career College with honors. She became interested in massage after helping her mother relieve headaches with acupressure scalp massage. Her uncle, a Traditional Chinese Medical Massage Therapist, instructed her in acupressure massage.
Prior to enrolling as an RMT student. Vicky worked as a body worker for 5 years. This allowed her to experience a diversity of patients and conditions. She treated many elderlies as the clinic she worked is near a senior community. Two expectant women were accompanied by her massage throughout their entire pregnancies. She was also trained in reflexology, which she found to be very beneficial for patients suffering from digestive or sleeping disorders.
Fascia techniques and trigger point release were the most intriguing aspects of her Vancouver Career College education. Vicky believes that fascia adhesion is the cause of many dysfunctions. She utilized numerous fascia techniques in both her case study and student clinic. Vicky is highly attuned to trigger points due to her prior experience with acupressure massage. She discovered that many trigger points are acupressure points as well.

Derek Speers, Registered Massage Therapist
In 2008, my path towards massage therapy began when I encountered a skilled practitioner who helped me recover from multiple soccer injuries. I was captivated by the effectiveness of his techniques and began to pursue an apprenticeship under his guidance. Over the years, I honed my skills and applied them to my own treatments. Eventually, I enrolled in the Registered Massage Therapy program at VCMT and graduated in 2022, eager to help others on their journey towards healing.
My experience has allowed me to create my own unique style of massage therapy using different myofascial, deep tissue and stretching techniques. This approach allows me to provide clients with personalized treatments that cater to their specific need.
When I’m not working, I enjoy playing soccer, running, camping and spending time with friends and family.
