Raised in Ottawa, Diana worked in the film industry in Toronto for 17 years before deciding holistic medicine was the right area of work for her.

Please Note: Chelsea is currently requiring masks to be worn at all times in the treatment room and common areas in the clinic.

Voluntary Disclosure: Chelsea is maintaining a fully vaccinated status throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and continues to practice evidence-based safety protocols at work and at home.

Growing up in Victoria, Diandra developed a strong passion for athletics that endures to this day. From a young age, she began receiving massage therapy treatment for pain and injury recovery. The notable benefits of massage therapy led her to seek treatment more routinely for general maintenance and preventative reasons. She was amazed by the significant increase in her body’s overall performance and well-being with more frequent visits. The power massage therapy has had for her physically and mentally for nearly two decades led her to pursue a career in this sector of health care.

Diandra takes great pride in recognizing every person has unique health care needs and should receive individualized treatment. She always strives to create a relaxing treatment environment and encourages open communication to best achieve every client’s goals. Even though she has an immense passion for sports, her greatest passion is to help anyone that chooses to enter her treatment room and leave them feeling better upon exiting. She uses massage techniques that encourage relaxation, while also facilitating therapeutic change. She navigates toward deep tissue general Swedish massage, as well as trigger point and pin and stretch techniques. Her passion for massage, healing and connection are intrinsically valuable to her practice of massage therapy.

Outside the clinic, she enjoys playing any recreational sport that involves a ball, hiking, cycling, and multi-day backpacking trips exploring Vancouver Island’s remote wilderness.

Keja was drawn to the study of Massage Therapy after her life-long enthusiasm for playing team sports provided her with enough aches and injuries to know first-hand the positive impact of various forms of bodywork and complementary therapies. This fuelled a desire to understand the body and learn how to keep it functioning optimally. In 2006 she graduated from Sutherland-Chan School in Toronto ON and became a Registered Massage Therapist. After many fulfilling years working in the heart of downtown Toronto Keja moved west with her family - first to White Rock BC, and then to Victoria BC.

I was born and raised in Victoria, BC. My passion for acupuncture and Chinese medicine started while I was healing from a traumatic car accident and brain injury. It was through acupuncture that I was able to fully recover, physically and mentally. From there, I wanted to learn more, so that I could share this healing medicine with our community.

In 2016 I graduated from Pacific Rim College and went on to complete licensing exams with the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of British Columbia. I have since focused my studies and training on helping those with neurological disorders, chronic and acute pain management, and gynaecology and obstetrics. I have completed training and become certified with the Neuroacupuncture Institute (NAI), and the Complete Concussion Management Institute (CCMI).

It is important to me to combine modern research and science with classic acupuncture theories for a truly unique perspective. My practice is inspired by my own recovery after injury, my journey through motherhood, and by observing the natural world. It is my intention to help anyone who comes to see me with compassionate care that is effective for their unique needs.

The most important aspect of care for Graham is to understand and treat the underlying cause of each patient’s symptoms. Through this approach, Graham creates long-term results. He focuses his practice on Therapeutic Deep Tissue Massage including specialty techniques such as Muscle Energy, Myofascial Release, and Exercise Rehabilitation. He addresses each patient’s unique therapeutic needs by taking the time to completely assess their concerns and fully incorporate their therapeutic goals into every treatment. Graham has a special interest in the treatment of headaches, pelvic and lower-back pain, sports-related injuries, and chronic pain.

Graham gained extensive experience working locally in Victoria after graduating from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy (WCCMT) in 2005. He returned to the WCCMT as a teacher in 2008. This role expanded his anatomical and therapeutic knowledge, which is the foundation for diagnostics and treatment. Graham began his career with Acacia Health in 2007. Acacia’s collaborative approach to health and their sense of community have kept him inspired and passionate about his practice and promoting personal wellness.

Graham’s enthusiasm for sports medicine and working with athletes was sparked by an opportunity to provide therapeutic support for Canada’s national dive team. In 2008 he travelled to China to work with the members of Dive Canada during the Beijing FINA World Cup for diving. Since 2008 he has worked with several patients who have competed professionally in various IRONMAN and international Olympic events, helping them reach their full potential through the treatment of exercise-related injuries and preventative therapy.

One of Graham’s passions is cycling. He is an avid bike commuter who also loves to head out for big rides on the weekend. Philanthropy is also an area that Graham is extremely eager to be involved with. In addition to volunteering for local community events, Graham founded the Cycle of Life Tour. What started in 2011 as a 3,000 km solo bike ride from Alaska to Victoria in support of the Victoria Hospice, has evolved into an annual 200 km group cycling event. To date, the Cycle of Life Tour has raised nearly $1,000,000 dollars for hospice care on Vancouver Island. In 2017 Graham was awarded the Governor General Sovereign Medal for volunteers from his work with the Cycle of Life Tour.

Graham’s enthusiastic attitude towards the practice of massage therapy makes him a valuable asset to the massage therapy community and he is excited to share his passion and skill as part of the Acacia Health team.

I have been practicing yoga since I was 16, when my brilliant mum put in me in a class hoping it would help my heart heal. Not only did I find my safe space on the mat, but I found my love of the human experience. I completed my first teacher training in 2010 and went on to complete a Yoga Therapy certification in 2014. As an avid student I have completed over 1000 hours of yoga specific training.

My teaching style is a blend of hatha and therapeutic yoga. Hatha yoga is a broad term simply referring to combining breath with poses. Many styles of yoga we are familiar with fall under hatha yoga (ashtanga, yin, vinyasa, etc). Therapeutic yoga goes deeper into anatomy with the understanding that although our parts are the same, each person is built differently.

I firmly believe that yoga shouldn’t be about whether you can touch your toes or how you look on the mat, but rather about finding an understanding of your own unique body and how it flows. It is important for me to meet people where they are at on any given day and as such prefer smaller class sizes or one on one teaching.
