Paige grew up very active and involved in her community, playing any sport she could. This helped create her interest in rehabilitation, as well as healthcare and total body wellness. After graduating high school her love of the outdoors took her to northern BC where she lived and worked, during mining seasons, before returning home to pursue her career in health care.

​

She completed her schooling at the West Coast Collage of Massage Therapy, graduating in 2017. During her time at WCCMT Paige completed a two year practicum in the student clinic, as well as multiple out-reach programs. She has experience working in care homes, with patients with multiple sclerosis, patients with special needs, working with UBC’s varsity athletes, participants of the BMO marathon, and in clinical settings.

​

The outreach opportunity that helped shape her the most was her time at BC Woman’s Hospital working with pre-natal patients on bed rest and woman in active labor. As well as the pre and post-natal in-reach at her school. Paige is passionate about total patient care as well as giving her patients the tools and resources they need to continue their rehabilitation beyond her treatment room. She looks forward to furthering her knowledge in pre and post-natal therapy and other orthopedic treatments, in various continuing education courses.

​

In her free time you will find her volunteering with special Olympics sports teams, working with horses, camping, dirt biking, fishing, travelling with her family, or hanging out by a good fire with her black lab Duke.

Selah was born and raised in Langley by a family that chose a natural approach to healthcare. She experienced the benefits of massage therapy from a young age, which helped Selah overcome chronic pain and stress. It was very natural that Selah chose this career as a way to help people in similar ways that she had been helped through her recovery.

Her deep interest in anatomy and fascination with how the body works led her to the West Coast College of Massage Therapy, where she graduated from December 2016. Throughout the program, her excitement and passion for the human body grew even deeper. Selah has hands on clinical experience where she has successfully treated pathologies such as plantar fasciitis, thoracic outlet syndrome and carpal tunnel, sciatica, and postural dysfunction. She is proficient in all modalities performed in massage therapy but her favourites are fascial manipulations and active stretching. Whether you are looking for treatment of an acute injury, chronic pain or just need to relax, Selah is able to provide a customized treatment for your needs.

After graduation she has continued her education by learning of different ways other than manual manipulation to continue after the treatment is over. She discovered facial and postural taping courses to continue to give patient the support they need after leaving the treatment room. She looks forward to educating herself on pre and post natal care in the coming year.

While Selah is not massaging she loves all things outdoors, especially the summer going to the beach, bbqs, boccee games at the park and most of all camping. Most camping trips evolve hiking, fishing, and general outdoor shinanigans.

Dr. Everett grew up in Maple Ridge British Columbia. He obtained his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto Ontario.

Dr. Everett was very involved in the rugby community until he suffered a low back injury which prevented him from playing at a competitive level. Through chiropractic care and rehabilitation, he has recovered and is extremely passionate about bringing the same to others.

After experiencing some bizarre, non-functional, and almost useless exercise prescription during the rehabilitation of his low back injury, Dr. Everett was determined to find something that would not only help him become fully functional again, but also help his future patients. Dr. Everett heavily focuses on and incorporates functional movement assessments and rehabilitation into each treatment. Although he enjoys seeing his patients, Dr. Everett empowers his patients by teaching them how to increase stability and mobility of the body, leading to prevention of future injuries. He truly believes that a patient will achieve optimal function if they meet him half way and work together as a team in order to reach their goals.

During his spare time, Dr. Everett likes reading, hiking, gaming, and spending time with his family and friends.

Dr. Spencer grew up in Maple Ridge British Columbia. He received his Bachelor of science in human biology and Doctor of Chiropractic from the University of Western States in Portland, Oregon.

Dr. Spencer was introduced to Chiropractic during his time in high school when he suffered an injury that left him unable to move or breathe normally. After multiple days of being bedridden, he was treated by an evidence-based chiropractor. Treatment and an extensive rehabilitation plan was implemented in his care and within a couple of months Dr. Spencer was back to being functional. A seed was planted in his head at this point and during his time in University that seed sprouted into a dream. Years later that dream became a reality and now Dr. Spencer seeks to help others in need like he once was.

Dr. Spencer is a strong advocate of an evidence-based approach to health care and collaboration with multiple disciplines to ensure the best care for his patients. He believes that every patient should be an active part in their own treatment and rehabilitation and that being proactive when it comes to health is better than being reactive.

In his spare time, Dr. Spencer enjoys spending time with his friends, various activities with his dog, weightlifting, and gaming.

Dr. Watson is originally from the rural town of Colgan Ontario, where he grew up playing on a farm, and chasing chickens. Dr. Watson holds an Honours Bachelor of Science in Human Kinetics from the University of Guelph, and graduated Cum Laude from The Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto. His interest in science led him down a path where he was inspired at how incredible the functioning of the human body is.

During his time at University he developed an interest in retraining lost abilities, such as balance, and realized the importance of receiving the right health education at the correct checkpoints in life. He would later work as a Chiropractic intern at St. Michael’s Hospital working alongside Medical Doctors to create the best care plan for patients possible.

From a young age chiropractic care was a part of his standard healthcare. He saw the benefits within his own health, but where he truly became impressed with the profession was seeing its effect on members of his family. Chiropractic care helped them return to the things they loved when they were experiencing back and body pain.

Outside of the Chiropractic office Dr. Watson has a passion for all-things outdoors; Hiking, camping, canoeing, skiing, and gardening are among his top activities. Like Dr. Gerretsen, Dr. Watson grew up playing Rugby, and the resulting consequences have given him special insights into shoulder and ankle injury rehabilitation and prevention. Working his way throughout his education Dr. Watson has become familiar with an assortment of jobs, and is aware of how the jobs we work, can end up limiting the activities we work for.

Dr. Watson strongly believes in evidence based chiropractic care, and practices a wide range of techniques. He is an advocate of a multidisciplinary approach to patient care, and believes that we all have a role to play in deciding the future of our health. He believes that providing patients with the right education, and getting them involved in their personalized care plan results in long lasting success and improved wellness.
