Maggie weaves ancient wisdom with modern insight, blending medicine, philosophy, and art. She is a registered practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in good standing with the CCHPBC. Her heartfelt path into TCM grew from a lifelong fascination with the interconnectedness of people and nature. A graduate of Pacific Rim College, Maggie’s background draws from massage therapy, Western herbal medicine, Chinese philosophy, astrology, and the creative languages of art and music. This diverse foundation shapes her unique approach to healing — one that honors tradition while responding to the present moment.

Raised in a family of TCM doctors and shaped by experiences across urban Hong Kong, rural Australia, and Canada, Maggie has a deep understanding of how our surroundings influence health.

In the TCM tradition, the body is a microcosm of the natural world, where 天 地 人 (Heaven, Earth, and Humanity) form a single, interconnected whole. True health arises when the body’s inner environment is in harmony with the world around it. It is a felt sense of belonging—of being in the right place, with the right body, and the right mind. Maggie’s practice is devoted to nurturing this inner landscape - keeping the soil fertile and the waters flowing - so the body’s innate rhythm can be restored. With this balance, vitality flourishes, the mind finds its ground, and joy naturally flows back into daily life.

Maggie offers compassionate and tailored care for a wide range of conditions, including pain management, digestive health, sleep and stress concerns, and menstrual and fertility support, injury recovery (acute or chronic), chronic illness, and preventative medicine. Her treatments may include acupuncture, Gua Sha, fire cupping, moxibustion, Tui Na, auriculotherapy, and Chinese herbal medicine.

Nikea is a chiropractor who brings curiosity, attention to detail, and a whole person perspective to her care. She loves helping people better understand what is happening in their bodies and finding practical ways to help them move and feel better.

One of Nikea’s particular areas of interest is TMJ and jaw related concerns. Her training and interest in myofunctional therapy allow her to look at the jaw in relation to the neck, breathing, muscle tension, movement, and the function of the mouth and facial muscles. She works with people experiencing jaw pain and tension, clicking or popping, headaches, facial tension, neck pain, and other TMJ related concerns.

Beyond her work with the jaw, Nikea provides chiropractic care for a wide range of musculoskeletal concerns, including pain, tension, injuries, and mobility restrictions. She also enjoys working with people who want to stay active, move well, and feel more confident in their bodies.

Nikea takes the time to understand your symptoms, your goals, and what may be contributing to how you’re feeling. Treatment may include chiropractic techniques, soft tissue work, movement, education, and strategies to support you between appointments. Care is always adapted to the person in front of her rather than following the same formula for everyone.

At the heart of Nikea’s practice is collaboration. She wants you to understand what she’s finding, feel comfortable asking questions, and be an active part of your care. Whether you’re coming in with a stubborn jaw issue, an injury, or something that simply hasn’t been feeling quite right, Nikea’s goal is to help you make sense of it and find a path forward.

Brandi offers the kind of care people exhale into, the kind you look forward to at the end of a stressful day, week, month, or season of life. Her treatments create a safe, cozy environment where patients can soften, feel supported, and experience what it’s like to be truly cared for. Many of the people she works with are caregivers themselves, often putting everyone else first. Brandi holds the space where they can finally land. She gives her patients the same quality of care she would want for herself: respectful, attentive, and rooted in presence.

How Brandi Works:

Brandi’s treatments are calm, intuitive, and guided by what your body needs that day. She blends flowing, rhythmic massage with forearm and elbow techniques inspired by a lomi-lomi style offering depth without overwhelm, and pressure that meets your body rather than forcing it. She prefers hands-on work over tools, choosing to feel and respond to the tissues directly. Whether you’re navigating chronic tension, an acute injury, or the slow build-up of stress, Brandi works with your system instead of against it.

Her Current Curiosity:

Brandi is especially interested in the relationship between mental health, stress, and how the body holds these experiences. This curiosity shapes the way she listens, treats, and adapts care to support the whole person.

Outside the Clinic:

Brandi is a devoted mama and adventure-creator. If she’s not in the clinic, she’s likely packing up the SUV and heading out with her kids to explore another corner of Vancouver Island - chasing markets, local music, community events, and any opportunity to meet new people along the way. Born and raised on the Island, Brandi left for a time to experience mainland life, but the pull home was strong. Now that she’s back, she’s committed to seeing every inch of this place she loves.

Dr. Alexia Grelson, Chiropractor

Alexia believes chiropractic care should start with the person, not just the part that hurts.

Alexia works with people across all ages and stages of life, from athletes and active adults to parents, babies, and growing families. She has a particular interest in supporting people experiencing headaches, persistent pain, and musculoskeletal concerns, as well as those navigating the physical changes that come with pregnancy and postpartum.

Her cranial work is a natural extension of the intuitive way she practises, giving her another way to explore tension, movement, and how the body is responding as a whole.

Treatment is never one size fits all. Alexia takes the time to listen, assess what is happening, and create a plan that makes sense for you. Depending on your needs, care may include chiropractic techniques, cranial approaches, hands on treatment, movement, education, and strategies you can take with you beyond the treatment room. Alexia’s goal is to help you feel supported and confident along the way.

Rachel Schmidt, Certified Athletic Therapist, RYT

> “Good rehabilitation starts with understanding your story”.

Rachel is passionate about helping people move with confidence and get back to doing the activities they love. While she enjoys working with athletes, you definitely don’t need to be one to work with her.

Rachel takes the time to understand where you are now, where you’d like to be, and what might be standing in the way. From there, she works alongside you to create a realistic plan to bridge that gap. Her approach is collaborative, practical, and exercise based, with a focus on helping you understand your body and feel more confident using it.

Rachel is also a certified yoga teacher and loves sharing yoga and movement with others. Her yoga training complements her work as an Athletic Therapist, bringing another perspective to how she explores movement, mobility, strength, and body awareness with her patients.

Treatment may include soft tissue therapy, joint mobilizations, movement, education, and individualized exercise therapy. Everything is tailored to your goals, your lifestyle, and what feels manageable for you. Rachel believes rehabilitation should fit into your life, not take it over.

Ultimately, her goal is to help you move beyond simply managing an injury and toward feeling capable and confident in your body again.

Outside the clinic, Rachel stays active with her Vizsla, Kari. Together they’ve explored an impressive list of dog sports, including agility, barn hunt, field work, water sports, conformation, and scent detection.
