VANESSA ELLOM

Registered Massage Therapist

"Growing up in Kelowna, I was exposed to almost every sport and activity the Okanagan has to offer. I’ve always had a love for outdoor activities and sports like swimming, volleyball, and snowboarding. Once I became introduced to weight training, the complexity of the human body and the way it’s capable of moving fascinated me; this kickstarted my interest in human anatomy. Knowing early on I wanted to pursue a career that would involve helping others, massage therapy became an obvious choice. I finished my schooling at OVCMT in Vernon and graduated in 2018. Throughout my career as an RMT, I’ve found a passion for helping people recover from injuries so they can get back to doing the things they love. I’m eager to apply what I know to help optimize my client’s function, whether that be within their occupation, tasks of daily living, or getting back to their favourite sports or activities!

 

I thrive in a collaborative environment where I can communicate with my clients and other health care professionals to develop an individualized treatment plan. I love to innovate and create dynamic treatments, keeping in mind that each body is different and shouldn’t be treated the same! Nothing is more rewarding than discovering how I can best be a part of someone's recovery process."

FAVOURITE QUOTE TO LIVE BY

Love your neighbour as yourself - One we hear all the time but I truly believe this is how our world will become better!

WHY DO YOU LOVE NEUMOVEMENT?

I was a patient at Neu while I was completing my massage schooling. I loved the atmosphere of the clinic set by the friendly staff.  I knew that one day I wanted to be a part of this amazing team! The combination of physio and pilates gave me incredible results during my recovery, not to mention the knowledge that I still apply to this day! Now as an RMT, I am so excited to apply what I’ve learned and be a part of each individual's recovery process. 

WHERE CAN WE FIND YOU OUTSIDE OF THE STUDIO?

 When I’m not in the clinic, I love spending my time with friends and family. I’ll be anywhere from local restaurants, at a park playing spikeball, or scoping out the best location to watch the sunset! 

FAVOURITE DAY OFF ACTIVITY?

In the warmer months I love camping, swimming, relaxing by the water, but I think beach volleyball is my number one! When its cooler, besides snowboarding, I tend to want to stay cozy indoors and get creative either with, macrame, weaving, or just watching movies!
