Melanie Palis
Massage Therapist
What is your background & training?
I graduated from Vancouver College of Massage Therapy in 2022, and shortly after received my registration through the CMTBC. Since graduating I have completed continuing education credits at Langara college for TMJ treatment. Previously I have received a diploma in Sports Science with specialization in Kinesiology from Douglas College.
What inspired you to choose this career path?
I spent almost 10 years teaching yoga before shifting into massage therapy. During that time I had the privilege of seeing how a structured movement practice can have a profound and positive impact on people’s well being. I think of massage therapy as another tool in keeping people moving functionally through the many stages of their lives.
Why do you choose to work at Treloar?
Treloar has an experienced team of multidisciplinary practitioners that have so much to offer clients and co-workers. I am excited about working in a supportive team environment that fosters growth and development.
What are you personally passionate about?
Learning, hanging out with my dog Lewis, yoga, running on the seawall and checking out any new restaurant/cafe in the city!
