Bill’s journey to massage began when he experienced the benefits of seeing an RMT during the rehabilitation of his own injuries. Without the help of a massage therapist he would not have been able to return to his passions of physical fitness activities.

With over 20 years experience in business operations and creative designer of an exclusive golf course, Bill made his transition to the field of natural health in 2019.

We live in a world of constant go, people are constantly on the move with always something to do and very little time for themselves. For many people, health and well-being does not make the priority list. Bill believes that the human body and mind is the ultimate machine with incredible capabilities of performance and healing. He believes that massage therapy is a significant and integral component in achieving optimal human performance.

Bill’s approach to treatment is to assess each individual condition, whether it be acute or chronic pain, decrease stress or simple relaxation. He uses a multitude of techniques, skill and education to create a plan to achieve optimal physical performance.

When Bill is not practicing he enjoys cycling, exercising and a love for food. He is an avid animal lover and you might just see him at the local parks with his wife and dog, Beans. Bill has an intimate connection with the water and enjoys the many activities it has to offer.
