Anna trained at the West Coast College of Massage Therapy in Victoria and has been in practice since 2014. Her style is thoughtful and intuitive, often incorporating deeper work with myofascial and movement techniques as necessary. She has a modest approach that addresses a wide range of musculoskeletal concerns. Her goal is to connect with you at your current state of health and collaboratively work towards a favorable outcome.

In her other times, Anna hangs with her active family in the easygoing vibe of Parksville. She finds her creative expression in the grounding rhythms of partnered African dance and dares herself to surf our wild west coast waves.

Lindsay Baker, M.Sc.(PT), CGIMS

Registered Physiotherapist Certified Gunn IMS Practitioner Certified Pelvic Floor Physiotherapist

Using a combination of treatments including manual therapy, IMS, education, and exercise prescription, I focus on helping patients return to doing what is most important to them. I not only educate my patients on what they need to do to manage their own health, but work with them to identify barriers that prevent them from adopting a healthier lifestyle.

Since completing a Master’s degree in Physiotherapy at Queen’s University in 2007, I have completed additional training in Chronic Pain Management, Chan Gunn Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) through the Faculty of Medicine at UBC, and have a Level 3 Diploma of Advanced Manual and Manipulative Therapy.

I am also certified to treat pelvic floor dysfunction including:

• pelvic pain (vaginal/perineal/rectal pain, dyspareunia, vestibulodynia, pudendal neuralgia, coccydynia)

• incontinence (urinary and fecal, stress and urge, overactive bladder)

• pelvic organ prolapse

I also assess and treat women in the pre- and post-natal period to address pain, pelvic floor dysfunction, and diastasis rectus abdominus.

When I’m not at work, I spend my time wrangling my two young children, running or biking in the forest, and trying to grow things in my garden.
