About Emily


As a spa treatment provider I believe in the ability of our body to promote healing by taking the time to fully relax and unwind. 


 All sessions include a re-mineralizing foot soak in a copper basin during each pre-treatment consultation (allow for an additional 5 to 10 mintues). Your treatment time is fully a time for you to be treated.


 I love providing relaxation-based treatments that deliver therapeutic effects; then work together to create a self-care home routine to keep you feeling fabulous each day in-between! 


 My personal wellness journey started early on. I studied Reiki/Energy work, hypnotherapy, and meditation to find ways to strengthen the body and mind during some physical challenges of my own. 


I was first trained in Éminence Organics Skincare while working for a naturopath in Calgary back in 2009. I loved the results and noticed immediate changes, in not only my own skin but for our clients as well, sparking a lifelong passion for skincare and spa therapy. In 2010, I graduated with a Massage Therapy Diploma in Calgary and worked for various spas while registered in Alberta, including the Fairmont Spa at Jasper Park Lodge and Stillwater Spa at Hyatt Regency Calgary. A peaceful, relaxing setting for treatments has always been a top priority. I then had the opportunity to work as the Wellness Coordinator and Spa Supervisor at Sparkling Hill Resort before my heart called me to the island, moving to Parksville and then south to Shawnigan. 


I feel so fortunate to be able to work live and play in our beautiful Cowichan Valley. I have been a part of the Purely Wellness Team since 2021, providing a wide variety of massage, skincare, and various spa treatments.


 I look forward to pampering you along your wellness journey.

"If it were possible to give Purely Wellness more than 5 stars, I would! Imagine the best facial and/or massage you've ever had, but at a lower cost! Yep, Emily is a STAR! It's easy to book an appointment and there is free parking right behind her space (or close paid parking across the street). I felt immediately at ease with Emily. She is professional, experienced, and kind. Facials with Emily are my 'me' treat! I've had two facials so far and I already feel a marked improvement in my skin."
