She graduated from The West Coast College of Massage Therapy (3000 hour program) in New Westminster, BC in 2009. She is a member of good standing with the RMTBC and the CMTBC. Before she decided to become an RMT, Nebilah was very keen on energy and alternative healing modalities. She is a Reiki Master and has been a Member of the Canadian Reiki Association since its inception in 2004. She loves a good book, and is an avid hiker. As a past dancer and running enthusiast, she also understands the importance of physical therapeutic maintenance and upkeep for a vital and healthy lifestyle. A fairly new resident of Nanaimo since 2018, she is excited and honoured to bring her skill set and her healing work here. She has a passion for continued learning of human anatomy and physiology as well as the more subtle workings of energy, breath, and meditation. Nebilah has a deep understanding and acceptance of the uniqueness of every body that finds their way to her table. She is able to balance her treatments with both therapeutic and relaxing techniques. She also incorporates breath work and visualization. Nebilah has 15yrs experience as a RMT in BC in treating various muscle imbalances due to overuse injuries and postural imbalances, chronic neck and back pain. As of 2024, Nebilah will be solely focusing on her Bio-Dynamic Cranial Sacral practice and is excited to incorporate new techniques, subtle energy and breath work into her already established practice. She chooses to “listen to” the body’s natural rhythms to dictate her treatment. Every body is unique. She is thrilled and excited to re-join Solace Wellness! She also continues to practice from her home treatment office Mondays and Thursdays. She looks forward to meeting existing and new patients and sincerely hopes she can make a positive difference in your lives!

Brittany became Registered as a massage therapist in 2012, after completing the 3000 hour program at West Coast College of Massage Therapy in Victoria BC.

Brittany has a passion for helping her clientele develop stronger connections between mind and body throughout her massage treatments. With the belief that our bodies are instruments that reflect our life experiences, Brittany places importance in slowing down and learning to listen to what our bodies have to say. She has found that creating a calming experience for the nervous system is paramount in supporting health and well being.

With this in mind, and at heart, Brittany enters each treatment session with an intention to address and tend to chronic or acute pains and dysfunctions that may be limiting her client’s quality of life and causing any signs of dis-ease.

Treatment techniques often utilized by Brittany include traditional Swedish massage, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, joint mobilization techniques, and craniosacral therapy. She also loves to incorporate traditional Hawaiian Lomi Lomi techniques into her massages to increase circulation and deepen relaxation.
