Fran Hailstone
RMT
Fran recently moved to the Comox Valley and is excited to be a part of Harbourview Therapeutic Massage clinic. Her goal is to empower each client in their own healing capabilities, to facilitate healing with a holistic approach. She combines evidence based practices and energetic techniques for a whole body approach to support healing, relaxation, greater body awareness, and overall wellness. Further studies in MyoFascial work, Systemic Deep Tissue, Cranial Sacral Therapy and Reiki help to augment Frans treatments.
Fran brings a background of fine arts, love of leading an active life, and experience as a mother to her massage therapy practice, this has helped her to hone creativity, foster greater compassion, respect and humility for how different we are in our bodies and unique in our healing processes. She graduated in 2004 from West Coast College for Massage Therapy and in that time has had the honor to support many different physical conditions; from sports injuries, palliative support, anxiety, depression and perinatal support, in both clinical and spa settings. These experiences have been a witness to Fran about the holistic nature of massage therapy and the healing power of touch.
Outside of work Fran can be found hiking and playing in the outdoors with her dog “Buddy” and her family.
