Shauna McGuire Registered Massage Therapy

A little about me

Hi everyone! My name is Shauna McGuire and I am a Registered Massage Therapist in Vancouver, British Columbia. I see the field of massage therapy as one that should be extremely beneficial in many different ways, such as building individual health goals, promoting balanced mental and physical bodies, improving alignment and increasing muscle memory. Each individual is different, therefore meeting your needs and showing special attention in specific areas is key. I enjoy creating a well-rounded treatment plan for each patient based off your individual situation, issues, conditions and pain. I want to help increase your own self-awareness about stretching, exercise, ergonomics in the workplace and self care.

I have built a repertoire of massage disciplines through two separate massage programs, first the Certified Spa Therapist program at the Vancouver School of Bodywork and Massage. This 700 hour spa program gave me a foundation in anatomy and physiology while gaining knowledge and expertise in many spa modalities. Secondly, I attended the Vancouver College of Massage Therapy. In this 3000 hour RMT program I was able to create a deep understanding of systemic, neurological and orthopedic pathologies and treatments alongside extensive clinical training and practical examinations. I now have over nine years of massage experience and a bright outlook on my future as a RMT.

I am very enthusiastic about Myofascial Release, Trigger Point Release, Joint Release, Pregnancy, Sports, and Swedish massages. Along with my extensive knowledge and practice of massage, I am also in close contact with well-rounded chiropractors, physiotherapists, naturopaths and acupuncturists that can assist in your other health needs. Ultimately, based off of your personal goals, medical history, and stress or pain-related problem areas, we will find a beneficial approach to your specific discomforts.
