Bowen Island Massage Therapy
595A & 597 Artisan Square V0N 1G1 Bowen Island, BC, Canada

Alicia and Harmony recently completed some fantastic training in Biodynamic mobilization of the lumbo-sacral pelvic region, as well as female specific pelvic modalities! An amazing continuing education opportunity delving further into myofascial and visceral manipulation. However, they are excited to both be with babies in bellies (for the second time!), and preparing to grow their families this summer! This means they will be putting a pause on their RMT careers at this ti...me to focus on themselves and their young families. A note of gratitude from them both: "Thank you to our amazing community of Bowen for your patience and support as we step in and out of practice. We love and appreciate the relationships we've built, and look forward to continuing care upon our returns. We will miss you all!" Stay tuned for updates on their return, as well as the addition of further coverage while they are absent. Hours remain OPEN, including extended evening and weekend times. Please contact BIMT to book in with one of our other lovely practitioners!

It’s such a pleasure working together with Kim Howden RMT

To our dear clients and Bowen community, We extend to you all, our love and good wishes for health, resilience and strength as we collectively navigate these unprecedented times. It's under our duty of care that effective this morning, Monday March 16th, we closed both our clinic locations until further notice.

Our closure is guided by recommendations from BC Health, World Health Organization, and the Canadian Government, and in accordance with our ethical responsibility to ensure the safety and health of our families, our clients, our community, and the public at large. We'll be in touch with our clients booked through to the end of the month to discuss how best we can continue to support your healthcare needs. We know that limitations, pains, injuries, post op. recoveries, and life stresses can be challenging at the best of times. Ensuring we retain this conduit of connectivity matters, big time! Whether you simply need to * chat , * gain further insight into an injury or ailment, we are accessible by Phone, Email, FaceTime or Skype and can effectively provide some assessment , therapeutic recommendations on how best to navigate, coupled with a healthy dose of reassurance!

We are in these times together.
