Our Team

Taylor McKechnie RMT

Taylor graduated from the 3000 hour program at the West Coast College of Massage Therapy in Victoria, BC in 2009, after which she made the move back to her hometown of Squamish BC. In 2013 she completed a Bachelor of Health Science Degree from Thompson Rivers University.

Taylor views massage therapy as an integral part of a patient’s overall emotional and physical health, and she is focused on treatment plans and goals that are customized to fit each patient. She believes in not only providing her patients with immediate relief from specific symptoms, but also treatment of the root of the problem to render long term resolutions. While she has a special interest in the treatment of headaches and repetitive strain injuries, Taylor incorporates a wide range of modalities, including deep tissue massage, trigger point release, craniosacral therapy, muscle energy techniques and myofascial release to tackle any issues her clients may have.

Outside of the clinic Taylor enjoys travelling, playing outside either in the mountains or on the water, and stretching her brain with new challenges.

Daniel Porcino RMT

Daniel brings an innovative approach to massage therapy, supporting clients with a passion for his work that enables them to reconnect with the activities they love. He brings to his clients a true zeal for addressing issues and conditions that have been resistant to previous treatments, a style that has brought many clients great relief and satisfaction. He focuses on getting to the root of the issue rather than solely dealing with the symptoms.

His treatment style is informed by his ongoing studies with the Canadian School of Osteopathy, providing him with a continually refreshed and updated “tool kit” as he learns new techniques.

Daniel may incorporate a variety of techniques into a treatment such as swedish massage, muscle energy, craniosacral therapy, visceral manipulation, myofascial release, and joint play.

Daniel became a registered massage therapist after working for more than a decade as a carpenter in Vancouver. He was inspired to make this career change after becoming fascinated by fascial systems and anatomy, and experiencing first hand the physical changes that can be made by a dedicated therapist. He is a graduate of the 3000 hr program from the Okanagan Valley College of Massage Therapy.

In his free time Daniel enjoys hiking with his girlfriend, mountain biking, climbing, fishing, drawing and playing music.
