We are so excited to Welcome Valentina Sainchuk, RMT! Check out her bio below and book online at www.timbermassageandwellness.com

"I have been a Registered Massage Therapist since 2014, graduating from WCCMT in the Lower Mainland.

My practice prioritizes guiding patients into feelings of release and decompression; empowering them to be mindful of their entire system.

I am passionate about helping patients create practical, easy going, self care routines; weaving a variety of movement, strengthening and relaxation into their daily lives.

Working with an evidence informed lens, I integrate effective holistic practices into a balanced, whole body approach.

My hands on treatment is simple, anchored in flow and feel good touch. I use Swedish, Neuromuscular & Fascial techniques, as well as gentle joint mobilizations.

I enjoy hiking, foraging, sailing, traveling, building art installations & producing music.

Born in Kazakhstan, I immigrated to the Vancouver area in 2001 and moved to qathet - Powell River in 2023"

Lucky us! Angela will be visiting the qathet region and offering RMT treatment at Timber while she is in town. She will be available from September 11th to the 14th. Book online now! Check out her bio below.

Angela currently resides in Hope,B.C where she has her own RMT practice within a Chiropractic clinic. She has immensely enjoyed working within a small community with regular patients over the last 7 years. Helping them maintain their health, heal from injury, recover from surgery, manage chronic pain, or the bodily stress of demanding, repetitive jobs.

Priding herself on finding the best treatment to make her patients feel comfortable and cared for, she listens to the needs of each patient each visit. This shows in communication, adapted pressure, and providing an atmosphere to settle into the treatment with ease.

Though known for pressure that can be described as firm, she also educates that massage therapy does not need to be painful or intense to be effective. It’s your comfort level that is of primary importance.

With a quick wit and warm disposition, she hopes to make each patient feel recharged and mobile with an effective treatment.

Angela has been practising massage therapy since 2008. Her training started with a 500-hour course in Samara, Costa Rica then in 2016 she returned to school to complete the 2200+ massage therapy program at the Canadian College of Massage and Hydrotherapy in Halifax, NS then became a Registered Massage Therapist in B.C. in 2017.

Please join us in Welcoming Anna Bock, Registered Clinical Counsellor to our team! Her first day is on June 9th, and you can book online. Check out her bio below.

"Anna Bock, MSW, RSW, RCC
Hello! I’m Anna (she/her) and I’m grateful to be offering clinical counselling services to the qathet community as part of the Timber team.

As I work with you, my intention is to foster a warm, supportive, and collaborative space where you can feel safe to share whatever is on your mind and heart, without fear of judgment. With an anti-oppressive and trauma-informed approach, I aim to draw on your intuition and innate strengths to promote the healing, growth, or change that you are seeking. As our time in session together only constitutes a small part of your life, I believe it's important to support you in building a toolkit of knowledge, skills and tools upon which you can rely to navigate life with self-compassion, clarity, and confidence. To me, walking the path alongside you as you process memories, work through emotions, face current challenges, explore different parts of yourself, and grow your toolkit is a
privilege. I feel deep gratitude to be invited on these meaningful journeys.

I completed my Master's of Social Work at the University of British Columbia, and I am a registered clinical counsellor with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors, as well as a registered social worker with the BC College of Social Workers. I work with individual adult clients (18 years and older), and I tend to support people struggling with anxiety, depression, chronic pain, life transitions, internalized
oppression, relationship issues, grief & loss, or a desire for growth. My work is informed by the strengths-based approach, biopsychosocial-spiritual model, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), pain science, Polyvagal theory, Somatic Experiencing, mindfulness, and Internal Family Systems,
among many other perspectives, modalities, and approaches.

If you’d like to connect with me before booking a session, please feel free to reach out at

schedule a free 20-min video consultation"
