Massage Therapists

Beth
Registered Massage Therapist
Where did you get your start? I studied with the Canadian College of Massage and Hydrotherapy (at the time in Kitchener Waterloo) which was a 2200-hour program, and I graduated in 2002.
How did you come to Banff: I am from Galt, Ontario, and work and the mountains brought me to Banff. I’ve been working at Meadow Spa since 2016.
“Initially I did massage therapy to go into another profession, but I liked it so much (helping people in that capacity) that I never considered doing anything else after my training. When I’m not working, I like to cross-country ski, go fly fishing, do meal prep, listen to podcasts, and catch up with friends and family.”

Chris
Registered Massage Therapist
Where did you get your start?: I grew up in Niagara Falls, Ontario, where I attended Canadian Therapeutic College and graduated from the 2200-hour Registered Massage Therapy program.
How did you come to Banff: Growing up I got into snowboarding and mountain biking; shortly after college I realized the hills out east were no longer cutting it, so I decided to make the move to the big mountains.
“I got into massage therapy after experiencing the benefits firsthand. I really enjoy the aspect of helping people get back to feeling great and find that it is a very rewarding career!”

Holly
Registered Massage Therapist
How did you start off?: I grew up in British Columbia. What brought me to Banff was the mountains. I went to school and graduated from Makami College in Calgary.
For Fun: I like to go hiking or snowshoeing. I also love snowboarding, cooking and travelling.
“I chose massage therapy for my career because I have always loved helping others, whether it’s relaxing the client or giving them deep tissue to help release tightness and tension that they have.”

Marta
Registered Massage Therapist
What brought you to Banff? Originally I’m from Hungary, from a little historical town called Tata. Growing up I always dreamt about the vast untouched nature of Canada.
For fun: I’m very lucky that I can spend my spare time with my young daughter, and I also enjoy different outdoor activities, such as hiking, biking, skiing, and kayaking.
“I also find joy in bringing relief, happiness, and relaxation to people through massage.”

Leonardo
Registered Massage Therapist
Tell me a bit about yourself? I am an avid nature lover who decided to follow the mountains from my home in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, all the way to Banff, Alberta.
Why did you choose Massage Therapy as your career? I was always interested in how the human body worked, and I knew I wanted to be in a profession that helped heal people, so massage therapy ended up being the perfect fit. It’s such a rewarding career because you get to see people come in with all sorts of problems and leave feeling relaxed and renewed.
“I love spending time in nature, discovering new hiking trails and waterfalls, and riding my bike through the city.”

Natalie
Massage Therapist
Tell me a bit about yourself? I am originally from a small town in the Czech Republic. I came to Banff to experience the beautiful and untouched nature of the Canadian Rockies.
Why did you choose Massage Therapy as your career? I always wanted to work with people and make their lives better in some way. Physiotherapy/massage therapy combines an active lifestyle with relaxation, allowing me to help people achieve their health goals.
Where did you study? I studied physiotherapy at the Faculty of Medicine, Masaryk University, in the Czech Republic. I obtained a master’s degree in 2019.
“I spend most of my free time outside—skiing, snowboarding, or hiking. I am also a passionate dancer and love to cook. “
Aestheticians

Hailey
Aesthetician
Where are you from and what brought you to Banff? I am from Nova Scotia, eastern Canada. I visited Banff once and knew right away that I wanted to move here one day. I have been in Banff/at Meadow Spa for just over a month, and I’m loving every minute of it so far.
Why did you choose aesthetics as your career? Growing up, I always had a passion for all things beauty. I was a competitive dancer from a very young age, which made me fall in love with makeup. I studied cosmetology and aesthetics at CBBC Career College back in Nova Scotia and graduated from the 1500-hour program in 2023. I have been in the industry for over 2 years now. I opened my own successful salon just 2 months after finishing my program but decided I wanted a chance to travel around Canada.
“I love making clients feel beautiful and putting a smile on their face.”
