Hannah graduated from the Vancouver College of Massage Therapy in December 2022 with Honours & Clinical Distinction. She has a clinical evidence-based approach to her practice and focuses on educating and empowering her patients.
During her 550-hour clinical practicum, Hannah gained experience in her outreach clinic working with systemic conditions including HIV and hepatitis as well as neurological conditions such as cerebral palsy.

She believes integrated healthcare is a keystone to patients living their best quality of life. Hannah’s favourite area of study in school was Systemic Pathology.
Hannah is also involved with VCMT- teaching part time as an assistant to the senior instructors both in academic classes and working at the school’s in-reach clinic helping students with their clinical practicums. She believes in giving back to the profession and inspiring and empowering the next generation of future RMT’s.

Hannah also has an extensive background of almost 10 years in the hospitality industry working with the public.
On her spare time you can find Hannah walking her Great Dane Guinness throughout the North Shore, hiking, biking, skiing and spending time by the ocean with her husband Dalen.
