Meet The Team
Ericka Rankin-Friesen
Registered Massage Therapist
Hi, I'm Ericka, a Registered Massage Therapist with a deep passion for learning and healing. I’m endlessly curious, always studying and refining my techniques. I enjoy expanding my understanding of the body, mind, and the subtle energy that connects them.
Massage therapy is more than just a job to me, it's a lifelong path of growth. I’m grateful every day to do work that not only helps others feel better in their bodies but also feeds my own drive to learn and evolve.
I believe in the power of both science and intuition, and I love blending evidence-based techniques with a more holistic approach. I feel lucky to live and practice in the beautiful Kootenays, where nature, community, and creativity all play a part in the healing process.
If you're looking for a grounded, compassionate, and academically curious practitioner, I’d love to work with you.

Allie Griffiths
Registered Massage Therapist
Allie has always been fascinated by the human body and the interconnected systems that come together to create the whole. This curiosity inspired her to pursue a career as a Registered Massage Therapist.
Allie believes that each patient knows their body best and that massage therapy is a collaborative process between patient and practitioner. She values taking the time to listen, understand each person's unique experience, and work together to create a treatment that supports their individual needs and goals.
Her treatment style blends therapeutic and relaxation-focused massage. Allie works slowly and intentionally, incorporating both deeper and lighter pressure depending on what your body needs. She often uses techniques such as slow, deep stripping and sustained holds, allowing tissues the time and space to soften and unwind.
Allie brings a calm, empathetic presence to the treatment room and strives to create a space where patients feel heard, cared for, and at ease. As a lifelong learner, she is excited to continue growing her practice and exploring future areas of interest, including reflexology and intra-oral massage.
Allie graduated from the Registered Massage Therapy program at Kootenay Columbia College in Nelson. During the summer, she provides massage therapy at Mountain Trek Health Retreat in Ainsworth, and in the winter, she works part-time at Selkirk Wilderness Cat Skiing in Meadow Creek.
