Raya was born and raised on the island and grew up in the small town of Gold River. After moving to Victoria in 2014 and spending several years working in various office settings, she sought a deeper, more meaningful connection with others. This led her to pursue a Diploma in Massage Therapy from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy in Victoria, BC.

With a holistic approach to care, Raya is passionate about improving her patients overall well-being and quality of life. She focuses on supporting the body’s natural healing processes with an emphasis on regulating the nervous system, promoting deep relaxation, and alleviating stress. She often incorporates myofascial release, trigger point therapy, gentle stretching, and deep tissue massage for a comprehensive treatment.

She strives to create a safe, comfortable space by combining compassionate care and therapeutic expertise. Her goal is to empower you to take an active role in your health and healing.

Dana (She/Her/Hers) offers massage therapy with a gentle, precise approach that blends myofascial release and craniosacral therapy, focusing on soft tissue health and nervous system regulation. Her practice is especially suited for those seeking subtle, nervous-system-supporting care. Craniosacral therapy is provided while remaining fully clothed.

Dana completed her Registered Massage Therapy (RMT) training in British Columbia in 2012. Her treatment style emphasizes gentle, responsive, and trauma-aware care—ideal for individuals navigating persistent pain, stress-related tension, or a complex relationship with their body. She provides care that honours sensitivity and complexity, working collaboratively to support comfort, integration, and well-being.

Dana primarily works with individuals who want to deepen their relationship with their body and learn how to support themselves in healing and transformation. Sessions are slow, intentional, and responsive, adapting in real time to what the body communicates. Rather than following a set protocol, Dana prioritizes collaboration and consent—centering client comfort, autonomy, and readiness throughout each session.

If you’re looking for full-body relaxation or general maintenance massage, a different approach may be a better fit. But for those seeking care that honours nuance, sensitivity, and the whole-person context of care, Dana is honoured to partner with you.

In addition to her manual therapy practice, Dana is a certified coach, facilitator, and meditation teacher. Across all her work, she integrates mind-body-spirit awareness to foster healing, personal leadership, and greater alignment between inner and outer worlds. She sees her practice as a cohesive system supporting clients’ growth toward autonomy, resilience, and self-leadership. She views herself as a facilitator and guide for those on the journey of remembering themselves as whole, unified, and powerful.

Outside of work, Dana enjoys painting, ceramics, gardening, cooking, and exploring the natural world with her partner and dog.
