Rebecca graduated from the Registered Massage Therapy program in December of 2022.
Rebecca decided to pursue the massage therapy profession to help people feel their best whether it be from recovering from stress from work, an injury from sports or symptom relief from chronic conditions. Rebecca grew up competing in many sports and she is familiar with all the aches and pain that accompany sports as well as treatments needed to guide you back to normal function. My goal is to assist you to reduce your aches/pains and increase your range of motion helping you feel your best.
Before treatment, through some assessments on the initial visit, I can assess the cause of the issue and help form a treatment plan to address you chief concern. During the treatment I will focus on the area that is bothersome to you and address any further parts of the body that could be contributing to your symptoms.
Rebecca is a mother of 2 young children so she understands what it means to be busy and have to run on a timely schedule. Other passions include working out, going for hikes and spending time with the family.

Hi my name is Madison Hedd. I have graduated from WCCMT in December 2022 for massage therapy and have been working as an RMT from May 2023.
I have always had an interest in the human body and wanted a job that involved working in the medical field, and massage therapy was the perfect fit. My favorite part of being an RMT is assisting my patients to feel their best and to help decrease their stress!
I would say my treatment style is, but not limited to: deep tissue, Swedish, PNF and trigger point release and joint mobilization. I would work with you to decide what techniques and approach is best for your comfort and goals.
In my spare time I love to cuddle up with my cat with a cup of tea and watch scary movies.

I enjoy supporting people as they strive to realize positive changes in their lives. I have provided counselling for approximately the last twenty-five years in the contexts of individual, couple’s, and family therapy. Some of the issues I’ve supported people with include mental health, addictions, couple’s, relationship, family, and grieving. I believe that each person has inherent strengths and I work with people to understand and utilize their strengths as they work to move forward in a positive manner. I utilize primarily a brief solution-focused approach and consistently have seen people I’ve supported experiencing positive changes early on in the counselling process. I believe in the importance of providing a safe, comfortable, non-judgmental environment and I value the importance of each person’s self-determination in regards to the issues they identify and the changes they seek to make. I also strongly believe in the importance of each person addressing their own self-care on a regular basis, and as part of my own self care I like to be working out at the gym, walking my dog, or playing various sports.

Tyla graduated from massage therapy school in 2010 and was registered the same year as a Registered Massage Therapist. She had the opportunity to attend both massage therapy schools in the lower mainland and graduated from Vancouver College of Massage Therapy, formally known as Utopia Academy.
Tyla started her career working in a chiropractic office in Surrey then moved onto a multidisciplinary clinic located in New Westminster. From there Tyla worked at Langley Sport Medicine Clinic in the Langley events centre and then Performance Integrated Health in South Surrey. Currently she is now working from home in South Surrey.
Tyla enjoys working with sport athletes of different talents. She has been an athlete herself competing in various horse related competitions including 3-day eventing, hunter jumpers, dressage, grand entry team and barrel racing. Tyla volunteered for a number of years at Cloverdale Rodeo in the sport medicine trailer. Tyla’s main focus of modalities includes using deep tissue and trigger point techniques. She also often uses tape products to help with particular injuries. Athletic taping can be very helpful when trying to get athletes back into the game faster. These products have been found beneficial to help aid other conditions including headaches, muscle tension, stubborn trigger points and to help reduce swelling.
Another passion of Tyla’s is to work with pre and post natal patients. Being a mother herself she finds she is able to relate well with other women and help focus treatments on individual needs. We do offer comfortable pregnancy pillows which allow pregnant patients to lay comfortably on their abdomen to receive treatment. Tyla has taken extended training in pre and post natal care, including c-section delivery and wound healing.

As an active person and athlete, I know how important it is to keep your body in top shape so you can continue to push yourself each and every day. Although pushing yourself is the fun part, one of the most important parts in any physical activity or sport is recovery. Massage therapy can provide great benefits in how the body feels and performs, which is why I love what I do because I get to help people feel their best both mentally and physically.
When it comes to treatment, my approach is to work with each patient and their individual needs in order to develop short-term and long-term goals tailored to them. I like to think of every treatment as a team effort to ensure you leave feeling better than you did when you walked in, and with that team mentality it does require effort from both sides- help me, help you. Whenever possible, I also like to provide exercises or activities you can do outside of the treatment room to keep you feeling your best and help you maintain your body’s progress between sessions.
A little bit about me: I graduated from the RMT program at CDI College in April 2022. I have a passion for fitness and have my certification in Fitness Theory and completed the courses towards personal training. I have been an avid gym goer for the past 5 years, competed in a bodybuilding competition and have plans to compete more in the future. My background in fitness is the main reason why I believe recovery and improving mobility are extremely key in being the best athlete you can be and one of the reasons I chose to pursue being an RMT in the first place.
Outside of work, it’s all about the adventure. If I’m not in the gym, I am outdoors or spending time with my friends and family. I am a huge fan of puzzles, tv shows, movies and of course, snacks. I am always doing something fun with my spare time and I love this life I’m living.
I am always excited to work with new patients and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask!
