Heather Gittens (formerly Inglis) is a Registered Massage Therapist who graduated from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy in 1997. Her ongoing, advanced, continuing education has included numerous courses over the past 15+ years, allowing Heather to focus in the fields of Craniosacral Therapy, Fascial Release Therapy & Visceral Manipulation. Visceral Manipulation is of particular interest as it is so profoundly effective in treatment for many common musculoskeletal issues, although not commonly thought of as originating from the organ or organ systems. Heather is committed to learning as well as educating and continues to study & teach within these areas.

Starting out as an assistant teacher at the West Coast College of Massage therapy in 2001, teaching quickly became a passion and soon thereafter Heather started to be the primary instructor for several courses at both beginner and advanced levels within the basic massage therapy program. During this time she also began and continues to teach Continuing Education workshops for massage therapists, physiotherapist & osteopaths as accredited by the CMT of BC.

Yoga has been a part of Heather's life for many years now and the breath work & mind/body awareness has been key in forming her approach to treatment & homecare exercises given to patients. Being part of the Yoga community has been rewarding personally and professionally.
