About Kristina Peddie, RMT
Kristina graduated from West Coast College of Massage Therapy in New Westminster and has been a Registered massage therapist since 2011. She gets ridiculously excited when her patients make progress or gains either in the treatment room or out in their active lives. It can be so frustrating to want to be active and be held back because of injuries, and helping people safely ease back into their regular routine is very satisfying. Kristina especially likes hunting down trigger points, and puzzling out headaches. She utilizes stretching, exercises, and her knowledge of massage therapy techniques to help create a treatment plan to benefit each patient. Our expectant mums will be excited to know that Kristina uses 'pregnancy pillows' so that you can lay on your front during your massage!
Kristina was born and raised here in Surrey, and she couldn't imagine living anywhere else. She feels blessed to be so near her friends and family, and there is nothing she likes more than a lazy Saturday BBQ with family.
Kristina loves martial arts. In real life or the movies. She has been involved in her local Tae Kwon Do club almost as long as she has been a RMT, and she feels it's difficult to pinpoint what she loves about it. The exercise, the sparring, the thrilling competitions or just the discipline, she loves all of it! She was involved in the Tough Mudder in 2015, and that was the most grueling fun thing she has ever done on the side of a mountain, and she looks forward to doing it again in a couple of years.
Kristina will be starting a new adventure at Scott Road Massage Therapy and leaving us on November 22nd, 2018. Please come in and wish her well or find her at 8636 120th Street, Surrey, BC!

About Sophia Fischer, RMT
Sophia is originally from Nelson, B.C. and moved to Toronto in 2015 to pursue a career in physical therapy. She is a graduate of Sutherland-Chan School of Massage Therapy where she learned and worked within diverse specialty clinics, including spinal cord rehabilitation, with high risk pregnancy patients, in a sports clinic, and with individual athletes. Although not currently practicing as an acupuncturist, she also expanded her skills and knowledge to include acupuncture, which further expanded her knowledge and understanding of the human body and pathologies.
Sophia's massage treatment style begins with ascertaining each patient's motivation for seeking massage therapy and developing an individualized treatment based on the patient's desired outcomes. Her fundamental philosophy is that each person's nervous system is unique and thus will respond differently to touch and pressure, and that different things will feel good to different people. Accordingly, her relationship with each patient is unique and her treatment approach corresponds to what their body needs at that time.
Generally, Sophia likes to work with rhythmic techniques and broad compressions, combined with Swedish massage. She also likes to work with heat and gentle joint movement techniques to facilitate movement in areas that are feeling restricted. Slow progressions are a focus, as they give the nervous system time to adjust and relax. When working with patient's in pain, Sophia enjoys doing a thorough assessment with the intention of finding the perpetrating factor of the pain.
