Genevieve Bartlam – RMT
Originally from Ontario, Genevieve has been blessed to call the beautiful west coast of B.C. home for the past 11 years. Genevieve graduated from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy in Victoria in 2018 and started her practice in Powell River working in a clinical setting as well as at an addictions treatment centre. The Comox Valley called her across the Georgia Straight and she has been excited to expand her clinical experience and get to know and serve the community here. Her treatments are in a context of relaxation allowing a calming of the nervous system and giving the body space to heal while also seeking to address specific concerns as well as their causes – not only the symptoms. She utilizes specific techniques such a Myofascial Release, Trigger Point Therapy, Isolytic release and hydrotherapy. One of her greatest teachers has been injury; understanding first hand what it can be to feel discomfort and limited ability, the power of compassionate care and the real challenges of recovery.
Inspired greatly by the seemingly endless mountains, forests and ocean Genevieve finds peace from running or biking the trails, climbing the cliffs and mountains or kayaking on the ocean. Passionate about being outdoors and being active she strives to maintain health for self and those that she treats. She seeks to help her clients continue to be able to do whatever it is that makes them smile and interact with this world.
