You Deserve More Than a Standard, One-Size-Fits-All Massage

Finding a massage therapist you can actually trust takes time. Between the clinics that rush you through, the intake forms that never get read, and the pressure that is always too much or not enough, it can start to feel like you are just another booking on the schedule.

That is not how it works at Van Isle Wellness. Kari and Chelsea have been practicing for over 12 years combined, and their approach has always been the same: take the time, listen carefully, and provide care that is genuinely personalized to you. Not a template. Not a guess.

Whether you are managing back pain, navigating pregnancy, working through stress, or recovering from surgery, we want to understand your situation, not just treat your symptoms.

What Registered Massage Therapy Can Help With

Registered Massage Therapy (RMT) is a hands-on healthcare practice that addresses the muscles, connective tissue, and nervous system to reduce pain, improve mobility, and support overall wellbeing. In British Columbia, RMTs are regulated health professionals with formal clinical training.

Massage therapy is effective across a wide range of needs, from chronic tension and injury recovery to stress, prenatal support, and post-surgical rehabilitation. It is covered by most extended health plans, and at Van Isle Wellness, we direct bill on your behalf so you can focus on the session, not the paperwork.

Personalized RMT Care From Therapists Who Know the West Shore

Van Isle Wellness is located in Colwood, just minutes from Langford, inside the Aura Collective on Sooke Road. Kari Lund and Chelsea Howard are both graduates of the West Coast College of Massage Therapy and bring over a decade of experience working with patients of all ages and backgrounds.

Kari holds specialized training in perinatal massage, post-caesarean scar treatment, and mastectomy support. Chelsea has continuing education in pregnancy massage, fibromyalgia, and perimenopause. Neither therapist takes a high-pressure approach: their style is therapeutic, unhurried, and adapted to you.
