Aimee Newton
Aimee grew up in the alpine town of Rossland B.C., and was a competitive ski racer throughout high school. Following graduation, she attended the University of Calgary and completed her Kinesiology degree, while playing on the university's Varsity Field Hockey team. At this time she also took up the sport of snowboarding, and quickly qualified for a spot on the Canadian National Alpine Snowboarding Team. Upon completion of her degree, she competed on the World Cup snowboarding circuit for four years. As an elite athlete, she required numerous massage and physiotherapy treatments for injuries. She soon became very interested in Massage Therapy, and decided to make it her career path. Aimee's own injuries have made her aware of the benefits of massage, and she is very keen to assist others in their recovery.
Aimee completed her Massage Therapy diploma at the West Coast College of Massage Therapy in New Westminster in the spring of 2008. Her practicum placements included spinal cord injuries, varsity athletes as well as high risk pregnancies. Her training includes the following modalities: Sports Massage, Swedish Massage, Craniosacral Therapy, Myofascial Release, Manual Lymph Drainage, and Therapeutic Exercise. She has also worked as a personal trainer, and is currently working on her certification in Exercise Physiology.
As a resident of Squamish, Aimee loves the active lifestyle that the community has to offer. In the summertime on a windy day, you can often find Aimee at the Squamish Spit kite boarding in the Howe Sound. In the winter you can find her taking part in the various winter sports the mountains have to offer.
Aimee looks forward to meeting new clients and in helping them achieve their optimal health goals.
