Andi Shannon
RMT

Born and raised in the Alberni Valley, Andi was thrilled to return in 2008 to start practicing as a registered massage therapist. She left the Valley after graduation to pursue her athletic and academic goals in Vancouver, Victoria and overseas. She holds a Bachelors degree in Geography from the University of British Columbia, where she spent 5 years as a varsity athlete..

Her athletic background has given her solid footing in high performance strength and conditioning training, sports injuries and rehabilitation. Extensive training meant extensive therapy – which grew her respect for massage therapists, and an understanding for using multiple therapies and modalities to rehabilitate an injury.

While her background as an athlete allows for considerable insight into sports injuries, her goals are to help patients from all walks of life work towards and maintain a pain and stress free body, leading to a healthier lifestyle. Now a mom of four, Andi balances family life with a busy clinic
