The only time in 9 months that I forgot I was pregnant was on Holli’s massage table. The stresses of adjusting to a rapidly growing belly quickly melted away with her skilled techniques. Again, Holli was a life saver when she showed me the infant massage to help my baby sleep better. I’m not sure how I would have survived early motherhood without her help.
I have had the privilege to be a client of Holli’s for over 14 years, I was one of her first clients after graduation and it was apparent from the start that she is a healer. Over the years I have benefited immensely from her therapy as she has gained more experience and knowledge in the health field through her studies of osteopathy, fitness and her constant drive for self improvement. She is a great listener and she has an ability to pin point exactly what I need to hear at exactly the right time to help me in my pursuit of health. I always come away from an appointment with Holli feeling enriched, relaxed, and inspired.

What I love about going to Holli is not only her amazing & soothing massages, but the fact that she looks at the body more holistically than just your average massage appointment. I may have a pain in my knee, but she can figure out that it has stemmed from my tight hip flexor, or my unaligned hip bone, which stemmed from my Crossfit workout that over worked my hamstring, thus I was overcompensating improperly.
After a massage, she gives me specific stretches to do in order to properly target those problem areas. And she may even throw in a protein shake tip, or gluten free meal tip. Being healthy isn’t just about doing one thing right, it’s about doing it all right: food, massage, workouts, activities, etc… and Holli really looks at it all.

I first heard about Holli through a friend that was doing the same kind of high intensity training I was. I had told my friend troy that I had had a massage before and from several different people but was not really that impressed. He assured me that Holli was different and was really good at helping athletes as she herself is one and really understands what the body goes through.
I have been an athlete all of my life and I really enjoy beating up my body up weekly, but as I am aging I have developed some aches and pains. When I first visited Holli I was optimistic but boy was I surprised. I explained to Holli what area I found discomfort in and she went to work. As I lay on the massage table she hit points that I did not realize were sore. She told me just to relax. Half way through my noise began to run, she said toxins are leaving your body and I thought damn I have never experienced that before. After she explained why I was feeling so tight and recommend a few stretches and strengthen exercises for muscle imbalance for me to do, that would aid in my recovery. She explained that I was beating my body up but needed to work on my flexibility especially in my shoulders and hip flexors, and that I needed to strengthen my mid and lower back.
I can honestly say I felt so relaxed and I mean really relaxed like a feeling of being drugged. Nothing compares to a deep tissue massage that is for sure, I left and went and had a bite to eat and just sat there, in la la land
I will drive close to an hour to see Holli and have her massage me, she knows her stuff so well and gives me great knowledge about what muscles I need to stretch to help me correct any problems areas that I develop. Understand one thing if you want to train hard then your rehab is vital, go see Holli and she will make a huge difference in your training.
I highly recommend her 2 enthusiastic thumbs up

Dear Miracle Worker -
If I might find myself on your table on the following dates, my life would be so very wonderful.

One of the highlights of my fitness career has been the opportunity to compete for and win the Canadian Bodybuilding Championships.
I met Holli Husband in 1998. I was closing in on my third attempt at the National title.
Training was in full swing and I was focused on being my absolute best for this contest.
At the same time, I was experiencing some nagging tightness in my muscles, particularly my lower back area. After years of heavy weight training my muscles had become very tight and rigid.
I was asking much from my body and giving back very little in the area of support and recovery.
I had never used massage therapy before but immediately after my first treatment with Holli I noticed that I felt less tension in my body and certainly had an overall feeling of calmness and relaxation.
Regular treatment allowed for a continuous period of productive, pain free training which allowed me to maximize my efforts and arrive at the competition feeling and performing at the peak level necessary to win the Overall Championship title of Mr. Canada 1998.
I am grateful to Holli, her devotion to superior quality RMT service and her genuine interest in the health and well being of her clients.
Since, I have worked with a number of RMTs, as Holli has relocated to Vancouver.
Unfortunately for me, none have equaled the treatment I received as when I was working with her.
If you are reading this testimonial, you are in the right place…in the right hands, literally!
Thanks Holli!

I have been inspired !! For the longest time I have felt like I have been stuck in a rut and now I feel as though someone has breathed new life into me and it feels fantastic!! I am about to embark on a journey, a journey that I should have taken many years ago. It will bring me a clear mind, body and spirit. It will be me putting me first, something I have not done in a very long time. This is my journey, this is my moment …..and I plan on owning it!!!
To my friend across the miles. Thank you for being my own personal cheerleader. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, your wisdom and your truths. Thanks you for inspiring me to be a better person most of all thanks for raising me up ..

Hey Hols, Welcome back!!! I’m so excited about your Yoga training and new direction… you’re so much more than an RMT to me and this is very apparent in how you’ve helped my progress with both 30-day challenges and advice on rehab, supplements, yoga, and the list goes on and on
