Anita brings a compassionate, grounded presence to Mountain Ridge Wellness. Her passion for helping others began at home, supporting her children through life’s growing pains and developing a deep curiosity for how the body moves, heals, and connects with the mind. This naturally led her into the massage field, where she discovered how meaningful it is to help people feel relaxed, comforted, and free of tension.

In 2018, Anita began her training at the Vancouver College of Massage Therapy. While she ultimately chose not to complete registration, her education, clinical experience, and extensive spa background have shaped her into a skilled and intuitive bodyworker. She offers relaxation-focused treatments designed to ease muscle tension, support stress reduction, improve flexibility, and create a soothing full-body experience.

Anita’s sessions may incorporate Swedish-inspired relaxation techniques, hot-stone therapy, and moderate to deeper pressure—always within a relaxation-focused scope. Her goal is to provide a calming environment where patients feel supported, grounded, and cared for.

Outside the clinic, Anita is happiest outdoors—hiking, running, walking, and weightlifting—or spending cherished time with her five adult children and seven grandchildren.

Alongside her witty banter, she utilizes a wide variety of manual and soft tissue therapies in treatment.

Away from the office, Chelsea has a dynamic lifestyle as her spouse is a First Responder which adds to the chaos of having a household with three kids. In her downtime, she can be found with a camera taking photos, planning a new family adventure, or enjoying a good book with a cup of tea. Moving back to BC Chelsea is excited to be close to proper mountains to return to downhill skiing.
