Bio

Darek has always been passionate about health, fitness, and movement. Before becoming a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT), he spent 6 years teaching and competing in ballroom dance, followed by 5 years as a personal trainer. During his time as a personal trainer, Darek worked with clients who had injuries, which sparked his interest in rehab and manual therapy. This curiosity led him to attend the Vancouver College of Massage Therapy (VCMT), where he graduated with honours.

Darek‘s hunger for learning drives him to continually take continuing education courses, ensuring he stays at the forefront of massage therapy. His interest in the lymphatic system during his VCMT studies prompted him to pursue and complete Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) training through the Dr. Vodder School.

Drawing from his diverse experiences and the knowledge gained at VCMT and the Dr. Vodder School, Darek provides highly effective treatments tailored to his patients’ needs and goals.
