Excellent treatment. Brooklyn is very thorough and helpful
Amazing!!
She is amazing!
I’ve had 3 sessions with Brooklyn over the past 4 weeks, and I’m incredibly impressed with her care. She takes a personalized approach, truly listens to my concerns, and tailors each session to address my pain. Thank you, Brooklyn. She is professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about her clients' well-being. I highly recommend her to anyone!
2024. He graduated in 2012 from the Canadian School of Osteopathy - Manual Practice -
Vancouver Campus, after a five-year education, and went on to practice in Vancouver for eight
years -- always fully booked and with an extensive waitlist. After making the move to
Whitehorse and then to Invermere, where he ran successful private practices, Don relocated to
Vernon to enjoy its outdoor recreation, lake and mountain lifestyle.
An athlete himself, Don’s background is in sports medicine, and he has worked with teams for
over 30 years. However, his valuable experience and continued education brings his expertise to
a wide range of treatments, including work with post-concussion and post-trauma patients. He
has treated a wide range of people, from 6 weeks old to 85 years old, and is committed to helping
his clients achieve their goals and live better, healthier lives.
Don is passionate about travel and learning, so that he is continually enriched and educated --
and he looks forward to bringing this to every treatment he gives.
Don will be offering Manual Osteopathic treatments ranging from musculo-skeletal, visceral, cranio-sacral, circulatory, advanced cranial work, Medical Qigong and various
advanced palpatory treatments.
I wish I had met Don years ago. He views the body as one interconnected system, and his approach is subtle yet incredibly effective. In just two sessions, he has helped unwind years of built-up tension. Don is a true wealth of knowledge and has helped me understand how old injuries and surgeries are connected to the tension I experience today. If you’re considering osteopathy, I couldn’t recommend Don more highly.
Don is an amazing practitioner who takes the time to really listen to both what you say and what your body is saying.
Don’s knowledge and breath of experience is unmatched. Highly recommended if you are interested in healing your body.
By design, our bodies, cells, nature, and cycles of life reflect a creative flow that is expansive, continuously evolving, and mysterious. Ever since she can remember, Julie has been fascinated with natural remedies, plants, energy, and the universe at large. She believes healing is an evolving concept, just like forms of treatment and self-care.
Julie completed the Manual Osteopathic Therapy program through the Manual Osteopathic College of Canada in December 2022, graduating with honours. MOCC is recognized and licensed as a Type 2 World Health Organization benchmark program. Her osteopathic training provided an expansive period of growth in knowledge and skills, integrating well with her massage therapy background and holistic approach to healing.
Julie’s toolbox holds a wealth of knowledge from more than 20 years of experience in bodywork, natural health, yoga, movement medicine, self-development, and somatic studies. Most recently, she has expanded into somatic awareness, touch, and exercises, providing further opportunities to evaluate, explore, and retrain patterns in the nervous system. Her courses include Trauma Informed Somatic Intelligence, Trauma Imprint Repair processes, and Hanna Somatic Exercises.
Julie is a member of the Canadian Massage & Manual Osteopathic Therapists Association and provides emailed receipts for all sessions so clients can submit claims with ease.
Julie takes every opportunity to breathe deeply, dance, hike, bike, and immerse herself in the beauty of the Okanagan.
She looks forward to sharing her gifts and continuously evolving skills with clients at Tidal Elements.
I some how screwed up and scheduled my appointment at a time I new I wouldn't be able to make, Julie was awesome and found an opening that worked better for my schedule so I didn't need to cancel.
I really enjoyed my time with Julie, I've got a lot going on health wise and and she's amazing at trying to help my body find balance with everything I've got going on
Julie was amazing and actually tackled some of the stiffness in my shoulders and neck better than the RMT I've been seeing.
Julie has helped me so much in my healing process. I was struggling with pain throughout my entire body for the majority of my life. As a chronic migraine sufferer who has tried just about everything to find relief, I can gratefully say she has helped find a joy in being in my body again. She is incredibly thorough in her treatments and is truly a gifted healer. Julie was able to find places in my body I didn't even realize were causing me issues. Her knowledge of the entire human body shows how passionate she is about her work. I feel stronger and healthier after every treatment, and I am noticing major improvements from the knowledgable advice she provides me. I highly recommend her to everyone who has struggled with chronic pain like myself.
Julie is AMAZING!!! She is so good at what she does.
I’ve had both Thai Massage and Osteopathic treatments from Julie and would highly recommend them both! I know that I’m always in good hands with Julie as she employs both an intuitive and thoughtful approach, leaving me with a deep sigh of relief. Because of her treatments a persistent neck issue was resolved and hasn’t come back, and it’s been over a year since she treated it!

wisdom. When people experience trauma, stress and overwhelming emotions, they often disconnect from their bodies as a survival strategy. Through somatic work, Julia helps clients gently rebuild this connection, learning to listen to the body’s signals with compassion rather than fear. She honors the connection between body, mind, and spirit, and supports clients in reconnecting with their intuition, truth and sense of self. Julia works with people who feel overwhelmed, burnt out, anxious, depressed, or disconnected from themselves. Many of her clients arrive feeling “not enough,” exhausted by life’s demands, or unsure how to navigate emotional pain, trauma, chronic stress, or spiritual transition. She also supports individuals facing chronic illness, caregiver burnout, relational strain, and those seeking relief from long-held body shame. Julia’s approach is holistic and integrative, combining traditional counselling with somatic, spiritual and mindfulness-based practices. Julia blends a range of modalities including Somatic Experiencing, Brain spotting, Attachment Therapy, Guided Imagery, and DBT, Spiritual Counselling, and Mindfulness. She also has training as a Meditation teacher, Hypnotherapist, Coach and many other continuing education courses. Her path into somatic counselling is rooted in her own lived experience. Having navigated trauma, disconnection and burnout herself, Julia discovered that the most profound healing came through embodied practices, mindful awareness and compassionate self- inquiry. Her personal journey informs her beliefs that healing is not only possible, It is powerful, sacred and deeply transformative. When Julia is not in the office, she is in nature, spending time with her family and always has a creative project on the go.

Ross was drawn to massage therapy after an RMT helped him recover from a lumbar spine injury. He has gained experience working in spas and offering mobile massage prior to becoming registered.
Ross incorporates modalities such as swedish massage, deep tissue, myofascial release, joint mobilizations and trigger point therapy into his practice. His preferred area of practice is treatment of pain and postural distortions caused by regular day-to-day life. Treatments aim to address the discomfort and also the continual postures/activities that cause it.
Outside of the clinic, Ross enjoys exercise and tabletop games.
Really appreciate the time and effort and space I was held in.
Great environment and equally great intro to the work being done and how they are going to help relieve my symptoms.
Smart therapist in Ross. Listens and executes and explains things very well
Feeling great and definitely seeing the result of 3 consecutive massages.
Very effective and efficient. Made me feel safe and helped my pain immensely. A week later and I feel way better
Ross is very knowledgeable and professional
Amazing treatment, amazing post-treatment advice. Love the online booking and direct-to-insurance billing. Thank you!
So kind and compassionate.
So amazing to walk out with no foot pain!
Great first impression. Professional. Informative.
I’ve been looking for a new RMT since moving to Vernon & Ross was recommended a few times in a fb group. I’ve seen him a handful of times already & really notice how much better I feel after the appointment. Highly recommend!
This was my third session with Ross and i was as impressed this time as i was with the first two massages. He is excellnet - listens closely and then provides a really deep and effective massage. I will be back for certain - in fact, i have already booked my next session.
I was very pleased after my massage with Ross Freeman-Marsh. I communicated to him exactly what I wanted worked on and he did just that. He also used the perfect amount of pressure. I look forward to my next appointment with him.
Really great massage, knew exactly what needed work
Really helped with my pain
Best massage I’ve ever received.
A professional, knowledgeable and effective. Ross is excellent to work with.

Intuitive hands on and off the body scan for imbalances and/or disharmony within the energy systems of the body. A Reiki session is deeply relaxing and feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. You may experience sensations of heat, tingling, an overall sense of warmth, tranquility and comfort which allows you to deeply relax your mind, assisting your body’s innate healing wisdom. Reiki fills you with divine, warm, healing energy and flows through a sick or unhealthy area, breaking up any stagnant energy that isn’t serving in the person’s best interest. Reiki helps by washing away any negative thoughts or feelings that get lodged in the unconscious mind/body. These unconscious thoughts and feelings can cause us the greatest problems, as we are usually unaware that they even exist, even though we can feel the symptoms of their disharmonies: such as depression, sadness, anxiety, fatigue, anger and pain. Reiki creates a healthy flow of energy within your body, leaving you feeling charged, aligned, strong, confident, and balanced in mind, body and spirit.

Amazing experience.
Zabrina moved to the Okanagan Valley in 2009 to attend a holistic health school in Kelowna, fell in love with the area and never left. In 2010 Zabrina chose Vernon as her home and began building her practice of bodywork and energy healing for horses and people. A lifetime horsewoman, her equine practice allows Zabrina to combine her love of helping horses with her passion for holistic healing, and also allows her many glorious days of driving around the beautiful Okanagan and beyond, while her people practice allows her to follow her path of supporting people in seeking health and healing. Zabrina is thrilled to now offer Biodynamic Craniosacral sessions at Tidal Elements, as she believes this modality has such a profound impact on the healing journey, and at helping us to live our best life. In her Intuitive sessions, Zabrina will custom develop a session based on client preference and which modalities come up as priority that day, for example a session may combine intuitive swedish massage and reflexology, or perhaps chakra balancing with reiki and emotional clearing, finishing with some tuning fork sound healing.
Zabrina is passionate about recognizing the roles of all our systems (physical, emotional, mental, spiritual) on our health and life, and also recognizing the gifts in an individual life experience, the resiliency of the physical body, and the magic and the mystery of the soul.
When not working Zabrina loves to practice hot yoga, hike, take care of her animals, study, get wonderful treatments from other practitioners, and enjoy the ride of life.
I've had such wonderful experiences with Zabrina. She's so knowledgeable and intuitive - we go to deep healing places together.
What can I say - she's just amazing. Her talented fingers find all the spots that need help!
