My name is Tara Roberts and I am a Registered Massage Therapist. I attended OVCMT here in the Okanagan and obtained my license from the College of Massage Therapists of British Columbia in 2011. My family and I have relocated back to BC from the Yukon.

As a massage therapist, I have always been interested in how the body works and traditional healing practices. I really enjoy helping people relax and feel better. I believe that massage therapy is a great way to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and ease pain. I am passionate about helping people feel their best and to reach their wellness goals.

In addition to practicing massage therapy, I also enjoy painting, baking, working in my garden, playing hockey, exercising and most outdoor activities!

It is my intention to use massage therapy to support each patients’ health care plan and to provide quality care for all patients.

If you are looking for a relaxing and therapeutic massage experience, please book an appointment.

I look forward to seeing you!

Tara Roberts, RMT
