{Nicole has so much knowledge and is amazing at what she does. She has the BEST energy and a special skill of knowing exactly what I needed out of each session whether it be to relax and de-stress or to focus extra attention in certain areas that were giving me issues.

{Nicole is the best Massage Therapist that I have worked with. She takes the necessary time to listen and assess the specific needs of each individual. She is kind and caring, easy to talk to, and very well-educated. I felt confident in her abilities and she was great at communicating with me about her intended course of treatment. She always sent me home with valuable exercises and even some valuable lifestyle tips! I would definitely recommend her to anyone as an excellent Massage Therapist!

Angela Berg, RN
{Nicole was the massage therapist for myself and my husband. She was always prompt, super personable, and really cared about our bodies and comfort. My massages ranged from chat sessions to me snoring myself awake. She is very knowledgeable about the human body and gave useful recommendations for mobility. My massage treatments were always great and I left feeling less muscle tension and pain. I wish she hadn’t moved.

Sherry & Kevin Lyons
{An absolute professional! Nicole has magic hands. After almost a year of not being able to turn my neck due to pain I went to see Nicole and after 1 treatment I was able to turn my neck and head again. Nicole sent me home with additional stretches and exercises and the knowledge to keep making my neck mobility better and better. I see her whenever I have aches or pain and I know she will help me get better. I am one thankful and happy client!

ABOUT OMIANAN @ MUDGE ISLAND

Hello there, my name is Nicole and I’m a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT).

Whether you’re looking to have treatment to address an injury, chronic pain or for relaxation – I welcome you to come and see me. I am able to address and evaluate a wide variety of musculoskeletal conditions.

When I first started my journey to become a Registered Massage Therapist, I had no idea the difference in people’s lives I would be making. I’ve constantly been told that the pain I’m relieving is a “life changing” experience and that’s why I continue to help people today. My primary focus is the improvement of my patients well being, whether it be for relaxation or therapeutic benefits.

I have been working with patients with a variety of health care needs and a wide ranges of ages. I believe that earning and keeping your trust is paramount and that’s why I maintain a high level of professionalism with every aspect of your care. I pride myself on ensuring you receive the best care I can offer. Each massage session is tailored to your needs by reviewing your progress and evaluating your ongoing needs.

I look forward to seeing you soon!

SERVICES I PROVIDE

During a treatment, I use several healing modalities to serve my patients. My practice is built on the foundation of knowledge obtained by my schooling at West Coast College of Massage and then continually upgraded with research and education with new techniques and modalities that I bring into the treatment room to benefit my patients.

Over the last few years, I’ve worked with many patients at a multi-disciplinary clinic in Langley, BC, and for the past year I have been treating patients on Mudge Island. I provide care using several modalities including Swedish, deep tissue, joint mobilization, muscle energy, active stretching, and fascial release (RAPID).

My focus is on your body’s needs but incorporate a lot of fascial release and deep tissue massage into my treatments. My goal is to provide a safe, professional space for you to experience relief. I welcome all Mudge Islanders to come for treatment. I treat conditions such as:

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: What types of massage therapy services do you offer at your clinic?

A: Each patient and their needs are unique. I am trained in many different massage modalities including Swedish, Deep Tissue, Fascial Release, Joint Mobilizations, Active Release, Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue (IASTM), and Muscle Energy techniques. Not all modalities are appropriate for all patients or the conditions that they present therefore only modalities that would benefit the condition and patient are ever used.

Q: Are you a registered massage therapist?

A: Yes. I am a Registered Massage Therapist in good standing with the College of Massage Therapists of British Columbia. I completed my board exams in 2019 and have been practicing massage therapy in a multi-disciplinary clinic (Chiropractic) until venturing out to begin my own practice here in Nanaimo, BC.

Q: Do you offer specialized massage techniques or treatments for specific conditions?

A: Not all conditions are treated equally with massage. Each condition or goal for massage calls for the correct modality to be used in order to facilitate good, healthy outcomes. During your treatment time, an assessment is done to evaluated your needs, a medical history is taking, and testing is done before deciding which modalities will be used during treatment. Collaboration is also critical to ensure that you are comfortable with the proposed treatment plan.

Q: How long are your massage therapy sessions, and what are the associated costs?

A: Massage sessions are offered in 30 minute, 45 minute and 60 minute sessions. An initial session is 60 minutes to allow for adequate time for both medical history taking and assessment to take place. Following an initial appointment, sessions can be booked in any of our time intervals. Pricing is available from our online booking site.

Q: Do you provide direct billing services for insurance coverage?

 A: Yes! We are happy to offer direct billing for up to 30 different insurance providers at no extra cost to you. Direct billing means you only have to pay for the portion of the treatment that your insurance provider does not cover. This means less out-of-pocket money for you!

Q: How does Direct Billing Work?

A: Direct billing allows Omianan to submit the cost of your treatment to your insurance provider and they will immediately determine the amount of the treatment cost that they will cover. We work with 30 different insurance providers and can submit your treatment to your provider if we have your Insurance Benefits Plan number and Member number. It’s best to setup the insurance provider details before your treatment so that we can ensure all the required information is ready to be included when you come in for treatment. Your secure Initial Intake Form has a spot for you to record the details of your benefits provider information or you can call into the clinic to provide the details to us.

Q: Can you customize a treatment plan based on my specific needs and goals?

A: Yes! Each treatment and each patient has unique healthcare needs and goals. Each treatment is set up with your needs and goals in mind.

Q: How can I schedule an appointment and what is your availability?

A: I’m glad to hear you are ready to book an appointment. The best way to book an appointment is via my online booking site. You will be able to see my availability and set up a time that works for you! I will send you an email confirmation of your appointment once you book it online and the system will send you reminders about your appointment 1 day before your treatment time and a text message 1 hour before your treatment time. I’m looking forward to working with you and your healthcare needs.

Q: What should I wear?

A: What should you wear for a massage is a very common question and no matter what therapist or clinic you go to, the most important part about any massage is your comfort. If you aren’t comfortable, you’ll have a much harder time trying to relax. You will be covered (draped) with a full body sheet during treatment and only the area being worked on at the time will be undrapped. Treatments will be modified to suit your level of comfort.

For maximum benefit, having the area being addressed uncovered is the best option so that I can use massage lotion on the skin and I can access the full length of the muscles and other structures in the area.
