Greetings! I’m Emily Jenkins, a dedicated Massage Therapist freshly graduated from OVCMT, driven by a passion for healing and wellness. My journey into massage therapy was ignited by my experiences as a first aid attendant in forestry work, where I witnessed and assisted with various musculoskeletal injuries like tendonitis and carpal tunnel. These experiences instilled in me a deep understanding of the importance of proactive care and effective treatment for physical ailments.
Outside the treatment room, I lead a vibrant life alongside my husband and our furry companion, exploring the breathtaking landscapes of British Columbia. Kayaking along the coast has always been a personal passion, and I’ve had the privilege of sharing this love as a kayak guide, connecting others with the wonders of nature.
In my downtime, you’ll often find me hitting the pavement for a long run or participating in endurance races. My profound connection to the Okanagan region has fostered a sense of belonging and community in Vernon, which I’ve proudly called home for the past few years.
During my journey, I had the privilege of mentorship under Tara Fullop, RMT, and Teacher at OVCMT, at the Health Nest. Through this mentorship, I acquired invaluable skills and gained the confidence to effectively treat pregnancy-related concerns. I look forward to applying these skills and working alongside strong women like Tara and all the incredible individuals at the Health Nest.
My areas of interest within massage therapy include management for chronic pain injuries, a keen awareness of biomechanics for acute pain injuries, promoting overall wellness, and treatments for pregnancy. I am deeply committed to providing personalized care and empowering my clients.
Thank you for considering me for your massage therapy needs. I look forward to the opportunity to support you on your journey through health and well-being.
Warm regards,
Emily Jenkins, RMT
