Hello, my name is Jayda Barkley, I am the newest
member of the Back and Body Basics team. I was born and raised in New
Westminster, and I also graduated from the New West campus of the West Coast College
of Massage Therapy in 2011. I decided to practice massage therapy because of a
large interest in the human body, as well as a strong desire to help people. I
know that as a RMT I will be able to give people the opportunity to not only
feel better, but to hopefully function better. I am trained in a variety of
different techniques, some of which include:
My favourite part of being a massage
therapist is the people. Helping others work through a painful and difficult
situation is what I was born to do. At the end of the day, I know I have helped
someone to feel better and get on their path of recovery or relaxation. At
times massage may be painful or it may be pure bliss, either way I give my all
to each individual.
Massage Therapy is an excellent start to
getting your body in top working order, but its only the beginning. With every
patient I ensure they receive appropriate take home instructions possibly
consisting of stretches, strengthening exercises and hydrotherapy techniques.
Every visit is tailored to the individual, we will work together to ensure you
are on the right path.
With time, perseverance and a little hard work, hopefully you won’t need to see me as much for your massage therapy needs. There are, of course, people who do require a “tune up” every once and a while, and I will work diligently to keep them on the right track. I look forward to being able to use my skills and abilities to help keep your body healthy and your mind at ease.
"The health of the people is really the foundation upon which all their happiness and all their powers depend."
