My name is Holly Saunders, and I am a Registered Massage Therapist and Pilates Instructor. I graduated from the Okanagan Valley College of Massage Therapy in 2006, completed my Stott Pilates training in 2007, and further advanced my skills with Neu Pilates training in 2018 under the guidance of the Neu Movement team.
My passion for anatomy and maintaining a strong, balanced body has naturally led me to a career that integrates both movement and rehabilitation. Massage therapy and Pilates have allowed me to remain physically active during my workday while continually expanding my knowledge of the human body and using these skills to support others through their healing journeys. After working full-time for five years, I transitioned to practicing part-time from home in 2011 after the birth of my first child. I am incredibly grateful to have been able to build a home-based business as I continued to grow my family, welcoming three more children.
Over the years, my passion for health and wellness has only grown, shaped by both personal experiences and those of my clients. Whether it’s addressing back pain, shoulder issues, postural imbalances, repetitive injuries, or pelvic floor dysfunction, I believe that core education is an essential part of any therapy I offer. From teaching posture and simple core exercises to providing full private Pilates sessions, I stand by the transformative effects of Pilates and the ongoing benefits of massage therapy. I’ve experienced these improvements firsthand and have consistently witnessed them in my clients.
I’m truly excited to work with you and share my love for these therapies. With dedication and consistency, I am confident you’ll experience and feel the positive changes as well.
