Beatriz Barros rmt (cand)
Registered Massage Therapist (Cand)
Originally from Brazil and a resident of Vancouver for the past six years, Beatriz is currently studying at the Vancouver College of Massage Therapy (VCMT).
Her path to massage therapy was paved by a BA in Dance. Years of professional training provided her with an intimate, firsthand understanding of human anatomy, movement, and the critical role of body awareness. She’s since transitioned from performing to healing, using her background in movement to help patients find the same balance and fluidity she once sought as a dancer.
In her sessions, she prioritize a welcoming and collaborative environment. She believe that effective treatment starts with listening and clinical treatment precision. She often begins with a lighter approach to her techniques; by first calming the addressing the state of the nervous system and moving on to more focused work on the tissues. This way, she finds the body becomes more receptive to deeper work, leading to more sustainable, comfortable, and prolonged results.
When she’s not at the clinic, she stays active by dancing, playing volleyball, and cycling. She also enjoys the quiet focus of bookbinding, a craft that allows her to channel the same patience and attention to detail that she bring to my massage practice.
We are excited to have her join the health team and wish her much success!
