My intention in providing massage is that you will walk away not only feeling better and feer but also with a deeper understanding and appreciation of the wonderful machine that is your body. I really think massage is good medicine, whether it’s for maintenance or to treat a dysfunction. I bring my compassionate, observant, quiet nature to the table and I’ll be your cheerleader in making even small changes which can affect the ease with which you work and play, no matter what the age. I love facial work and osteopathic techniques with regular swedish massage tying it all together.

I grew up in a variety of places including Austria and a remote northern BC trapline. After an attempt at archaeology I became involved in various aspects of the horse industry. I graduated from Okanagan Valley College of Massage Therapy in 2013 and haven’t looked back since. I have worked in many places across BC and briefly in New Zealand. Now life has brought me to the Sunshine Coast. Outside of work, I am a mom on a little farm, running after my little one and trying to grow a medicinal herb garden.

Growing up on the lower Sunshine Coast helped to instill in her a closeness to nature and love of community. Although she will dearly miss her patients and practice in Vancouver, she is thrilled to now call the qathet regional district her home, along with her partner and their little rescue dog. “I hold a deep respect for the roots of Traditional Chinese Medicine. In our daily lives our life-force energy, or Qi, can become stagnant and get stuck in areas of the body. Past events/emotions/traumas live inside of us in the form of this stagnant Qi as well. This can manifest as physical pain, mental/emotional disharmony, hormonal imbalance and fertility challenges, digestive issues, low energy, sleep disruption and more. Acupuncture and TCM have the potential to treat all these conditions by addressing the root cause of the imbalance and assisting our body/mind/soul’s innate ability to heal. My goal as we work together is to help you feel better in your body. My particular passions lie in the areas of mental/emotional health and stress reduction, hormonal balance and fertility, and constitutional facial rejuvenation. Please feel free to reach out with any questions to : annieslakov@gmail.com. I look forward to meeting with you!” Clinic times: Wednesday afternoons Friday mornings Some Saturdays
