My name is Jeff Cameron, and I’ve been working as a registered massage therapist since 2019. My approach to massage therapy has been strongly informed by my many years working in education. I focus my appointments on making sure patients have a clear understanding of what is going on with their body. This has been helpful when working together with the my patients to achieve their goals.

I believe that the best health care empowers the patient. I strive to provide my patients with the guidance and tools necessary to reduce their dependence on frequent recurring appointments. My approach to massage therapy is rooted in the belief that, whenever possible, effective treatment should do more than just provide temporary relief. I am dedicated to an evidence-based practice, focusing on identifying and treating the root cause of physical discomfort rather than simply managing symptoms. That being said, I also have plenty of experience helping patients manage chronic conditions that require ongoing care.

Additionally, I have experience with pre-natal massage and working with professional athletes. By leveraging my background in exercise and strength training, I endeavour to help patients develop injury resiliency.

Beyond the Clinic Before entering the world of massage therapy, I earned a degree in English Literature with a minor in Philosophy from UBC. I then moved to Japan, where I taught English in public schools for four years. These experiences sharpened my critical thinking skills and taught me how to connect and empathize with people from myriad diverse backgrounds.

When I’m not in the clinic, you may find me woodworking, out on my motorcycle, or typing away on my 75-year old typewriter. In the winters, you might find me at the curling rink with my wife.

Sami Reid Cooney approaches medicine as a storyteller, believing that the human body carries a living history within its tissues. As a Registered Acupuncturist (CCHPBC) with a five-year dual diploma in Acupuncture and Phytotherapy from Pacific Rim College, her practice, Tenacious Medicine, represents a decade of international immersion in global healing traditions. From the clinical wards of Zanzibar’s Mnazi Mmoja hospital to providing trauma-informed care for refugees in Berlin with Acupuncturists Without Borders, Sami’s background is as diverse as the patients she treats. Her time spent lecturing on Five Element Theory at the Municipal Library of Prague further refined her ability to translate complex traditional concepts into accessible, clinical insights for a modern patient roster.

This global foundation is balanced by an extensive background in somatic and emotional release. Having completed 350 hours of Thai Massage training in Montreal and Thailand, alongside a 200-hour yoga teacher certification in Guatemala, Sami integrates physical structural work with deep nervous system regulation. Her clinical focus is heavily informed by trauma physiology and the activation of the vagus nerve, aimed at guiding the body out of “fight or flight” and into a restorative parasympathetic state. By bridging the gap between corporeal tension and mind-body integration, she creates a safe, grounded space for individuals navigating PTSD, neurodivergence, or the lingering effects of physical and emotional trauma.

Sami’s clinical passions are also deeply personal, fueled by her own health journey and a commitment to specialized care in concussion recovery and reproductive health. She offers a dedicated, compassionate approach to conditions such as endometriosis, PCOS, and fertility challenges, utilizing a comprehensive toolkit that includes precise needlework, cupping, along with targeted dietary and supplement support. Drawing on seven years of experience as an international scuba diving instructor, she often incorporates specialized breathwork into her sessions, helping patients “dive deeper” into the quiet, restorative space of their treatments.

Now practicing with profound reverence on the traditional territory of the W̱SÁNEĆ and Lekwungen peoples, Sami is dedicated to facilitating an integrated harmony that empowers every patient on their unique path to wellness.

(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

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!
