Allow me to introduce you to, Pamela. A truly inspiring individual – a person whose journey began with fitness and evolved into a passion for healing and wellness in her community. Meet the amazing massage therapist and wellness entrepreneur who has made it her mission to help people transform their lives through the power of holistic health practices.
Her journey began with a passion for running, but when an injury derailed her plans, she found herself seeking out a massage therapist for help. Little did she know that this unfortunate event would lead her on a path to discovering one of her true callings – Massage Therapy. With a curious and inquisitive mind, she quickly fell in love with the practice and decided to make it her career.
After completing her education at the prestigious Wellington College of Remedial Massage, she embarked on a journey of self-discovery that would change her life forever. Driven by a desire to help her clients achieve optimal health and wellness, she became certified in a range of corrective exercise techniques, including Resistance Training, TRX, Integrative Corrective Exercise, NeuroKinetic Therapy, and Myofascial Cupping.
But her quest for knowledge did not stop there. She recognized that true healing comes from a holistic approach to wellness that includes not just physical fitness and massage, but also healthy nutrition and emotional well-being/strong energy body. Inspired by her own struggles with an eating disorder and body image issues, and having experienced a lot of trauma in her life, she began to explore the science behind nutrition and energy work (Reiki), and how it affects our bodies.
Armed with this knowledge, she founded Etana Wellness – a company that focuses on whole-body healing, confidence building, and healthy lifestyles. She has since grown a team of amazing individuals and expanded her offerings to include a range of wellness practices, including Acupuncture, Lymphatic drainage, Craniosacral Therapy, Reflexology, Yoga, Physiotherapy, Facials, and more.
Despite the challenges of a pandemic, she has persevered, growing her team and clinic and earning a reputation as the #1 spa in Canmore. Through her dedication and hard work, she has inspired countless people to take charge of their own health and wellness, and to discover the transformative power of holistic healing practices.
Her journey is a testament to the incredible impact that one person can have on the world. Her dedication, passion, and commitment to helping others make her a true inspiration and a shining example of what it means to live a truly fulfilling life helping others, and what obstacles one individual can overcome.
The word ‘Etana’ means: strength and dedication. And this very much describes Pam and her kickass team!
