Bernard is amazing! She really tailors her treatments to individual clients. I've seen her for over five years, and have had a variety of different issues during that time. As each new issue emerged, she drew on an incredible depth of training and experience to target my ailments. Yes, she's well-trained. Yes, she has tons of experience. But the thing I like most about Bernarda is the way she combines her training and experience with spot-on intuition to help me feel instant relief. I am so grateful that Bernarda is in my life!"

“I tried several RMTs before I started to see Bernarda seven years ago. I was impressed by her vast knowledge, dedication and her magic hands and the deep desire to help solve client’s health problems. Beside the outstanding relaxing massage, she was also able to help cure my lower back nerve problem, rehabilitate after a fracture arm and recently is helping me with plantar fasciitis with already noticeable improvements. I am so happy that Bernarda is my massage therapist, and I cannot wait to see her every second week.”

“Bernarda is a wonderful therapist. Very knowledgeable, attentive and a great listener. I feel very comfortable with her. I was seeing her previously for deep tissue massage but after my cancer diagnosis (I had bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction and after 3 years my implants capsulated and I had them removed) she was extremely helpful during my ordeal. I highly recommend Bernarda for anyone going through or experiencing this type of health issue.”

“I came across Bernarda by chance 10 plus years ago. I had been having massage therapy by many different RMT’s before Bernarda and can honestly say she is the best! In our sessions she is always professional and attentive to my needs. After a cycling accident 3 years ago, Bernarda played a major role in accelerating my recovery. She is encouraging, kind, caring and truly takes an interest. I travel from North Vancouver to see her because she is worth it!”

“I spent years with lower and middle back pain and I was told by my GP that the arthritis is incurable and I will have to live with it for the rest of my life. My wife recommended that I try a few massage sessions with Bernarda and indeed, the results were amazing. After a few sessions I felt my pain was gone. She also recommended physical exercises and in combination with the massage, now I can have a normal life, free of pain. Bernarda’s professionalism, commitment to her patients and expertise dealing with various sorts of injuries are unparalleled.”
