Alexis Aikenhead, Registered Massage Therapist Having spent most of her life in BC, Alexis has been actively practicing massage therapy since moving to the interior in 2012. She achieved her RMT designation in 2018, and now incorporates those prenatal, athletic, and gastrointestinal therapy experiences with her background of Thai and Spa Massage treatment traditions.

Thai massage blends stretching and pressure point techniques, and a session with Alexis has a nurturing, full-body effect using primarily myofascial, trigger point, neuro-muscular, hydrotherapy, and range-of-motion modalities.

She enjoys working with people as they try to find ease in their bodies treating for relaxation or rehabilitation and everything in between. Whether through subtler techniques like muscle energy and orthobionomy, or through more traditional oil massage practices, Alexis loves sharing massage.
