Spirit Guide Massage

West Coast Mobile Massage!
I am currently working and living on Cortes Island for the Spring & Summer of 2024. You can reach out for mobile massage at your home.

Dancing on the Body
My signature style is a musical and flowing deep-Swedish. I see life as a dance and in my bodywork I "dance" on or with your body, tapping in to my creative flow to intentional music. My treatments energetic in nature, yet my pressure and depth make it more than just energy work, making it balanced and integrative in nature.
From the first moment of greeting, my goal is to be a loving presence, in order for you to feel safe, seen and heard. I create a ceremonial container to prepare you for a deep journey into your own body. On a physical level your nervous system relaxes, soon followed by your muscles. On an emotional and spiritual level, you surrender and let go of whatever you are holding.
I offer words of wisdom and use aromatherapy throughout the treatment which, combined with my magic touch, creates a multisensory journey.
The result is relief of physical aches and pains, but also a clear mind and full heart.
“Andrew offers a nurturing and healing space for his bodywork sessions. I appreciated his clear intuition, use of high quality oils and skillful ways of supporting my body in the release of tension into states of deep relaxation.”
~ Bettina Rothe, 5Rhythms & Embodiment Coach, Facilitator
"Every time I have a massage with Andrew, I feel deeply held by a seasoned practitioner who provides a relaxing, healing, holistic experience. Andrew is a master."
Peter Wrinch - CEO, Hollyhock
Trauma Informed Loving Presence
Above all, I see my purpose as holding space for others to go through whatever they need to go through, whether in day-to-day conversation or in a professional setting. Fundamentally, my work is trauma and nervous system-informed. My number one priority is for clients to feel safe at the deepest subconscious level.
Informed by my own healing journey, my work encourages others to uncover and overcome their own traumas so that they can heal themselves and their relationship to self, as well as family, friends and environment. In this way, I act as a Spirit Guide.
I have familiarity with the
Hakomi Method, the art of being a loving presence. Part of hakomi is the idea of the
virtuous circle, a positive feedback loop where giving to others comes to you. My clients express deep gratitude for my intuitive work and genuine care, bringing the nourishment full circle.
Education and Experience
I graduated from the holistic and alternative Vancouver School of Healing Arts in 2019 as a bodywork therapist, learning various massage modalities including Swedish, Deep Tissue, Shiatsu, Hot Stone and Reflexology.
I am work half the year at Hollyhock Retreat Centre on Cortes Island. I have practiced at spas in Ucluelet and Tofino. I have also provided massage at a small, intimate music festival called This Gathering, at my intentional community, and at the Fairy Creek nonviolent protest to protesters banged up from physical labour and police brutality.
My most important life values are
personal growth and love. With these values I am constantly working on becoming the best version of myself so that I can more effectively hold space for you to activate your inner healer
”Andrew has a unique and intuitive style of massage which rejuvenates the soul as well as the body. My body appreciated his care so much that I had to have a second massage the next day which dissolved many months of stress. I look forward to our paths crossing again and having another deep self-care experience.”
Kimi Nakamura - engineer
"Andrew has a calming presence and I easily surrendered myself to him, and was able to be present with the healing. By the end I felt charged. Afterwards, I was overwhelmed with emotion and cried off and on for 2 hours. Not only did he heal my physical body but unblocked an emotional blockage I didn’t know I had. He is an extremely strong healer. I would recommend anyone for this experience and look forward to another some time soon."
