Saying goodbye to Asta……
We wanted to let everyone know that Asta Kovanen will be leaving the Elements of Health Centre (last day will be July 9th). She has been such a valuable asset to the practice and will be sorely missed. We wish her happy travels as she departs on her trip to Europe and all the best of success in her future endeavors!
The Elements of Health Centre team will be seeing her patients as we move forward. Many of you already see another provider as well. All of the other providers will remain.
…..and welcoming our new massage therapist Jane Podmore
Jane Podmore, RMT, graduated from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy in 2008. Passionate about women’s health care, Jane soon dedicated her practice to the care of perinatal women and their families.
Jane became a DONA trained Birth Doula in 2008 and an Infant Massage Instructor thereafter. She has since provided non-judgmental emotional, physical, and informational support for expectant families and helped couples cultivate supportive, empowering and joy filled birth experiences.
Bringing a varied scope of interests and experience into her practice, Jane combines deep tissue, myofascial and CranioSacral techniques with Swedish style massage to provide an engaging and effective treatment experience. Her whole body approach to health care aims at restoring balance while stimulating long-term wellness.
Jane continues to study and explore the healing effects of yoga and massage in every body, from pregnant and postpartum women to athletes, infants and beyond. Her goal remains to provide a space where clients can find comfort, support and understanding in all stages of their lives.
