Professionally, Peter comes from a decade of front line mental health work after graduating from Acadia University with a degree in applied psychology. He has witnessed many stories of resilience and trauma and has developed a series of skills revolving around active non-judgmental listening that he is carrying into a new practice of massage.

Peter has completed a 3000 hour massage therapy program with Kootenay Columbia College, which includes 600 hours spent in the Nelson student clinic. He is experienced in deep tissue massage, relaxation of the nervous system, and a variety of Swedish techniques.

Peter is currently in the process of becoming registered with the CMTBC and is unable to bill through insurance until this is completed. After a decade of witnessing cost related barriers to care, he is excited to use this as an opportunity to provide affordable service to a rural community, and to further his continuing education in the field of massage.

Peter is focused on providing inclusive, attentive care tailored to your particular needs. He is deeply interested in how stress is stored in the body and consciously cultivates a safe space to help you leave what you can on the table, while giving your body space to facilitate healing and reduce pain.

Peter would also like to acknowledgement the lack of support that caregivers receive within our communities. A temporary further reduction of rate is available for professional caregivers who do not have insurance, or individuals who are supporting family members with development needs or who are approaching the end of life.
