I pride myself on being an RMT with highly current knowledge and skillsets. I am passionate about creating a safe environment for my clients to feel fully at ease and ensure that they leave feeling nurtured and well cared for. My compassionate, kind and empathetic nature flow into the treatments I provide.

With a background as a Spa Practitioner, I can blend soul-nourishing relaxation techniques with therapeutic work. I use multiple modalities including joint mobility, fascial work, and pre- and post-natal and Swedish techniques.

I am particularly interested in intra-oral massage to treat jaw pain, teeth grinding and whiplash symptoms. I also have a passion for abdominal and diaphragm work as a powerful way to rebalance the nervous system as well as stimulate digestion for overall wellness.

I am someone that likes to have fun with whatever I’m doing. I don’t take myself too seriously and am a bit of a goofball. I am passionate about the arts. You can usually find me at the theatre, dance studio or open jams (stumbling my way through learning to play bass guitar) I am a lover of the outdoors, and am always up for any kind of adventure.

Before becoming an acupuncturist/TCM Practitioner in BC, I was a massage therapist in the US, inspired by my own recovery from trauma to help others. After moving to Canada, I studied acupuncture in Vancouver and TCM herbs here in Victoria at Pacific Rim college, and have practiced in Sidney, the Comox Valley and Victoria. My technique blends acupuncture with TCM manual skills like cupping, gua sha, tui na, and moxibustion, as well as non-registered massage. I use TCM herbs and formulas to enhance and prolong the effects of my acupuncture, custom blending my own formulas at a local raw herb dispensary. When not doing TCM, I’m a musician, reader, writer, gardener, hiker, biker, metaphysical dabbler with a loving botanist spouse and an adventurous yet chill tortoise shell cat.

(E.) Quinn Jones, RMT. My experience with massage therapy started when I found myself bedridden with a sports related back injury. I tried resting and stretching and eventually consulted a doctor. The doctor prescribed pain medication and told me to continue resting until it got better. After several days without improvement I sought the help of a Registered Massage Therapist. At the end of the first treatment I was able to move without pain, and several treatments later I was back to normal. I knew then that this was something I had to pursue. I believe that by putting the body into a restful and relaxed state you enhance its natural ability to heal. My goal during treatment is to create an environment in which a person can feel the pressure of daily life melt away. This helps the body to repair and allows therapeutic techniques to be more effective. Some specific areas that I have experience working with clients are: *Chronic muscle pain *Sports injuries *Jaw/ TMJ dysfunction or pain *Anxiety and depression *Abdominal & pelvic conditions (PCOS/endometriosis/Crohn’s disease /colitis/post abdominal surgery) *Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome *Insomnia *Scar mobility *Frozen shoulder or rotator cuff injuries * People who enjoy massage as a part of their wellness routine

I feel so fortunate to have the chance to work with people and help them improve their health. Quinn is available at the clinic: Monday 1:30 – 7:30 pm, Tuesday 2:30 – 6:30pm, Wednesday 11am – 7pm, Saturday 9am – 2pm

From an early age I have been fascinated with the human body and the mysteries of the natural world. This influence fueled my life-long passion for martial arts and propelled me to study Biochemistry at McGill University where I completed my Bachelor’s Degree. However, it wasn’t until I began to practice Qi Gong and Tai Chi upon moving to Victoria, that I found my true calling and went on to complete the Doctor of TCM program at Oshio College of Acupuncture and Herbology.

It has been incredibly fulfilling working with clients as a Registered Acupuncturist and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Practitioner since 2017. I understand the deep impact an injury or illness can have on one’s life from personal experience, which is why I feel grateful to be of service in helping others find their way back to a state of health and wellness.

My clinical approach reflects my desire to integrate Western scientific knowledge with Eastern holistic understanding. In order to achieve the best possible results for my clients, I utilize a number of traditional and modern therapeutic techniques, including acupuncture and electro-acupuncture, tui na massage and myofascial release, cupping, gua sha, moxibustion, and TCM herbal remedies. With each individual case, I work to determine the root cause of injury or dysfunction and provide the appropriate therapies, knowledge, and lifestyle suggestions to resolve the issue and prevent any future occurrence.

My intention is to offer a safe and nurturing space where you can receive the respect, compassion, and care you require for healing to occur. I love to empower you through education and provide solutions and practices that will allow you to take health into their own hands. My ultimate mission is to support each individual’s healing process by meeting you where you are at and working together to achieve their healthcare goals while cultivating a thriving foundation of health and well-being.

I have had the pleasure of working with the Atlas team since qualifying as a Registered Massage Therapist in 2013 and am so grateful to be able to welcome you to this comforting and calming space for treatment.

I love my work.

I have always found the study of the human body fascinating and feel passionately that every body deserves care and to be treated with dignity, respect in an informed way. This drives me to cultivate a practice that uses the wisdom, knowledge and understanding of medical scientific evidence while acknowledging each person’s unique experience of the world and their body.

My treatment approach takes into account your lived experiences, health history, activities of daily living, your goals and focus for treatment as well as your wants for your general wellbeing.

I endeavor to provide you with confident and focused pressure, clear communication and use modalities such as General Swedish Massage, Roods techniques, MET (Muscle Energy Technique), and Myofascial Release in effort to augment your treatment.

My education and work experience have focused on providing care for folks who require an understanding of:

Chronic pain conditions Chronic Stress TMJ Pre and Post-operative scar tissue care Body diversity Trauma related conditions Gender-diversity and gender affirming care Pre and postnatal care Infant care Supportive therapeutic modalities for children and adults with Physical and developmental disabilities Joint replacement Depression and anxiety Neurodiversity Musical and visual artists

Working with people has always been my greatest passion and I continue to delight in furthering my education and understanding of how our bodies deal with the physical, mental and societal stresses of the lives we lead.

On my adult education journey, I pursued the study of Classical Voice, Vocal Jazz and Visual Arts and then completed the 3000hr RMT program at the West Coast College of Massage Therapy (WCCMT), Victoria in 2013. I have furthered my education to include courses in Trauma Informed Treatment, MET treatment of TMJ, Evidence Based Pain Management to name few.

I have worked in health care for many years now, beginning with supporting folks with physical and developmental disabilities and neurodivergence. Childcare, retail, hospitality and food service have also provided me with experience of the different ways our bodies facilitate our wants, needs and livelihoods as well as how they function under stress.

Massage Therapy presents the unique opportunity to impart safe, positive touch through education, awareness and therapeutic modalities.

It is my intent to provide safe, informed treatments to help you on this wild ride of living in a human body and to support your goals of well-being and equilibrium.

I very much look forward to working with you!
