Your Well-being Matters
My Mission
I aim to help ease patients' pain and stress so they can lead more productive and functional lives, however that looks for them. If this means putting their socks on themselves, walking up the stairs in their home, moving around with less pain - or sleeping better after a long day - all are important to me. I work alongside my patients and help them achieve their goals. My clinical focus is in therapeutic treatment - aiming to get patients back to doing the things they enjoy (wherever possible) and help them get their bodies moving optimally with less pain. I strive to continually learn, upgrade and hone my skills to provide the best possible treatment for my patients.
About Tracy DiBernardo
Through experiences in my own life, I have learned how much massage therapy can enhance a person's overall well-being and vitality. Previously a real estate agent, I worked closely with people during one of the most stressful times in their lives (moving, life changes & financial stressors). I thrived on making the transition seamless and as pain free as possible for my clients. In such a fast-paced industry, I learned the value of self-care and how crucial therapeutic intervention is in maintaining and improving the quality of day-to-day life. I also learned I love helping people, however the method of doing so, has changed to focus on assisting people on the path to better health & well-being.
I am focussed on walking alongside individuals and working with them to achieve their individual goals; whether that is relaxation/stress reduction, rehabilitation after an injury, providing pain relief for those who suffer chronic pain conditions or anything else I have not covered that effective Massage Therapy helps with.
I utilize many treatment modalities and customize treatment to suit my patients' individual needs. Some of the modalities & treatments offered are; Swedish massage, Trigger Point therapy, joint mobilization, sports massage, relaxation, muscle energy, lymphatic drainage, Myofascial & Advanced massage techniques, pre & post natal massage, maintenance of chronic & acute conditions & pain management and hydrotherapy. All treatments incorporate some pre & post treatment assessment (to ensure what we are doing is moving you in the right direction) as well as home care recommendations.
I treat patients of all ages and stages of life. I strive to meet you where you are at, and provide the most benefit in the time we have to work together. I would be delighted to hear from you and to see how I can assist you on your journey to wellness.
About Registered Massage Therapy

British Columbia is one of those provinces, and this means Massage Therapist in BC are required to complete their education at an accredited college, be registered with the provincial regulatory body (formerly CMTBC, currently CCHPBC - College of Complementary Health Professionals) and in good standing. We must complete ongoing professional development to stay up to date, effective and relevant while practicing Massage Therapy.
