Bianca Ashe
Bianca Ashe, RMT graduated from West Coast College of Massage Therapy in 2000 with a diploma in massage therapy. Offering massage therapy treatments to pregnant women, Bianca gained an interest and desire to learn more about prenatal and postnatal healthcare. In 2002 she became a certified Doula from Douglas College and combined her experience as an RMT and Doula to support women in labor. Soon after becoming a doula, Bianca received her Hatha Yoga Teacher-training Certificate from Prana Yoga & Zen Centre and her Prenatal Yoga Certificate from Janice Clarfield. She feels the skills she has developed as a Massage Therapist, Yoga Teacher and a Doula provide a complementary and balanced healthcare for clients.
Bianca began a massage practice in North Vancouver in 2000 and a few years later, partnered in creating a wellness clinic called Bloom Family Wellness Centre. The clinic was created to provide families with a supportive and caring environment, offering multiple health care options. Running the clinic for five years gave her the opportunity to work along side many skilled, passionate practitioners and learn a great deal about health care. The five years spent at Bloom Family Wellness Centre were both valuable and enjoyable, and allowed Bianca to meet many wonderful people in the North Vancouver community.
In 2006, Bianca began teaching at Utopia Academy, an accredited school for massage therapy. She was drawn to teaching by having the desire to learn more about massage and be involved the future of massage therapy. She currently teaches part time at Utopia Academy.
Bianca has experience in treating a variety of conditions such as pregnancy related issues, chronic or acute back pain, preventative health, motor vehicle injuries, headaches, and sports injuries. She has focused her continuing education in massage, on pregnancy related conditions, infant massage, core stability, trigger point therapy and neuromuscular treatments.
After moving to Squamish, Bianca decided the time was right to sell Bloom Family Wellness Centre in North Vancouver and start a new adventure. In September 2008, she had a baby girl. Bianca is excited to return at work and joining the group at Squamish Therapeutic Massage.
