Elise, who has recently obtained her RMT license, is eager to apply the knowledge she acquired through her education in a practical setting.
Eliseâs dedication to helping people feel their best stems from a deeply personal experienceâ the sudden loss of her mother to a heart attack. This pivotal moment inspired Elise to prioritize her own health and pursue a fulfilling career centered around assisting others.
Elise finds fulfillment in working with all demographics, with a special focus on infants, children, and young people. Having embarked on her journey with massage therapy at a young age, she remains dedicated to advocating the benefits of massage to all demographics. She thoroughly enjoys practicing various techniques of Swedish massage, paying particular attention to face, scalp, neck, hands, and feet. Elise is also captivated by the emerging trend of âFace liftâ massage techniques and looks forward to incorporating them into her practice as her career progresses, as the face is an area often overlooked but integral in reducing nervous system activation.
As a member of the queer community herself, Elise understands the importance of creating a safe and welcoming space for everyone. She is open and happy to treat individuals from diverse backgrounds, embracing the uniqueness of each client with empathy and respect.
With her genuine commitment to diversity and inclusion, Elise looks forward to fostering a supportive environment where everyone feels valued and cared for of all ages. She is excited to contribute to the clinicâs ongoing success while making a meaningful difference in the lives of those she serves.

Hi! My name is Caitlin, born and raised on a farm in Southern Alberta but I consider BC to be home.

Hi, my name is Victor! I happen to speak two languages with English being my primary language but the other is Hungarian. I am currently a Langara semester 5 student eager to finally graduate soon. I have played sports my entire life but these days, I would be found playing urban rec sports such as dodgeball.
I have developed a passion for holistic health by working through my own injuries from playing contact sports growing up. Before RMT school, I was a plumber for 5 years but ultimately, I wanted to do more for the community as most of my family is in health care already.
My treatment style encompasses a variety of techniques with my favourites being myofascial release, pin and stretches, trigger point release, and range of motion work as I am very aware of how frustrating being injured can be when it gets in the way of work/friends/family/hobbies.

I have a masterâs in Counseling Psychology and I am a registered clinical counsellor. I am excited to support the âmindâ axis of mind-body wellbeing at Grandview clinic.
I believe life is complex, and to navigate it, we need ongoing self-knowledge and reflection to understand the external and internal dynamics of circumstances. Therapy with me provides the space and expertise to understand the dynamics behind your condition or distress and enable recovery and change. My focus is helping adults manage and overcome minor or major distress in their relationships, work, or everyday life.
My approach is primarily psychodynamic/analytic. Psychodynamic therapy is a form of therapy that looks at both conscious and unconscious feelings and thoughts and the underlying psychological dynamics that contribute to how we experience life. I also incorporate CBT and attachment-based interventions as needed.
I have training in psychodynamic/analytic psychotherapy, trauma-informed treatment, and infant mental health, and I am in the process of gaining additional specialization to support mothers and fathers in their pre- and post-natal journey.
My practice is informed by my personal life experiences and my own therapy as much as by my academic background. I have been an immigrant, worked in both creative and high-tech industries, and am a parent to a young child.
Besides psychology, I enjoy the arts and design, and love wandering in nature and decorating rooms.
