Dorit Hoffmann,
Registered Massage Therapist
Thank you for checking in.
My Story began in former East Germany where I trained as a physiotherapist and worked as one for more than 10 years. I’ve played basketball on a national level and I swear – because of it - have felt every single muscle in my body hurt at one point or another. This sparked a rather strong interest in treating sport related injuries and their rehabilitation and prevention. At the other end of the scale, I am very familiar with the challenges desk jobs put on our bodies and the postural imbalances and muscle strains they cause. I strongly believe massage therapy, exercises and awareness, stress reduction and balancing one's energy, can minimize and prevent those effects and improve your feeling of health and well-being. My job is one of the best in the world!
After moving to Canada - not being able to transfer my credentials as a physiotherapist - I graduated from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy (WCCMT) in 2001. I’ve been practicing in Vancouver’s gorgeous West End since and also provide in-office massages. Working in this profession for more than 25 years has enabled me to treat people of all ages and a wide variety of symptoms and conditions. This has only proven everyone is unique and the body as a whole needs to be addressed.
I am looking for those who wish to make massage therapy part of their training program, healthful lifestyle and who would like to connect with their inherent ability to heal. I will do my very best to provide massage treatments specific to your needs. I will also give you tools to continue the healing process, such as recommendations on correct posture, ergonomics and exercises easily incorporated into your daily routine, visualizations and grounding as stress reduction.
It would be lovely to meet you J .
