In his teens Jason showed an interest in massage therapy. Having a family member with chronic headaches and back pain, Jason would massage their neck and back to relieve their pain. The feeling and sense of reward in helping others is what brought Jason to massage therapy at a young age.
In order to put himself through school, he had many different jobs from landscaping to rock scaling, but always with his mind on massage therapy.
Along with massage, health and wellness has always been an important part of his life. Weight training and cardiovascular training have helped him to continue full time practice as a massage therapist for over 8 years.
Jason graduated from the Okanagan Valley College of Massage Therapy in 2004. During this time he had the opportunity to work on university athletes, the Vancouver Canucks, and has since continued working with athletes from Thompson Rivers University and Olympics athletes as well.
Jason’s most outstanding accomplishment has been his marriage to his beautiful wife Stephanie, and his two adorable and wonderful daughters. As a devoted father he enjoys spending the majority of his time with his family, engaging in various outdoor activities at their rustic cabin outside of Kamloops.
Jason’s approach is one based on complete assessments, treatment plans and follow-up homecare such as strengthening and stretching programs based on the patient’s needs. The ability to get to the root of his patient’s problem, not just treating symptoms, is extremely important.
In joining the team at Kamloops Active Health, he hopes to contribute to what is an already stellar reputation both in quality of treatments and friendly, comfortable atmosphere.
