Born and raised in Calgary, Alberta, Michael always found himself involved in sports including boxing, football, swimming, and a variety of martial arts. It was an accident in mechanics class that opened his eyes to the many practical and rehabilitative effects massage therapy could have on one’s physical health. After having an engine fall on him, Michael saw first-hand the powerful effects that massage therapy can have on one’s healing and overall health. It was due to this life-changing experience that Michael became interested in health and wellness, anatomy, and physiology. His love for learning has given him the ongoing opportunity to hone his skills and offer high-quality rehab and healing techniques.

Michael began massaging in 2007 after graduating from Foothills College of Massage Therapy. From 2007 to 2013, Michael practiced his skills in spa and chiropractic clinics. In 2013, Michael went back to school for upgrading. It was while at school the second time that he found a love for teaching. From 2013 to 2018, Michael worked his way up from a tutor to a Lead Practical Instructor at Alberta’s own MaKami College. Using a combination of manual therapy and corrective exercises, Michael is back doing what he does best - helping his clients achieve a higher level of health and wellness.

Michael is excited to be part of the team at 360BrainBody. Where he gets to put his years of knowledge and experience to practical and effective use.

Currently, she’s a 4th year student with the Canadian School of Osteopathy.

Christina looks forward to meeting and working with you at the 360 BrainBody Clinic.

What is CranioSacral Therapy?

CranioSacral Therapy (CST) was pioneered and developed by osteopathic physician John E. Upledger following extensive scientific studies from 1975 to 1983 at Michigan State University, where he served as a clinical researcher and Professor of Biomechanics.

CST is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the CranioSacral system - comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord.

Using a soft touch generally no greater than 5 grams, or about the weight of a nickel, practitioners release restrictions in the CranioSacral system to improve the functioning of the central nervous system.

By complementing the body’s natural healing processes, CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease, and is effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction.

Eva is a natural athlete. As a teenager, she was scouted to play on the first-ever Canadian Women’s Junior Squash team. Coaches and teachers were always in her corner, stoking her thirst to compete. Eva competed in ski racing, volleyball, squash, and racquetball as well.

After earning her Bachelors in Physical and Health Education at Queen’s University, Eva devoted herself to bringing out the best in others by teaching aerobics, squash racquetball, and weightlifting. Longtime Calgarians will recognize her from the management team at Talisman Centre.

After a year living abroad teaching fitness class and body-building, nagging back issues were slowing Eva down. Discovering Pilates and a passion for conscious movement was the solution. After several years of teaching, she recognized that no matter how much stretching and strengthening one does, true body change is not created without release of the muscle and fascia. This concept lead Eva to achieving her Level 11 Yamuna Rolling Certification in 2004.

At 360BrainBody, Eva’s dream of working with a team of like-minded professionals is coming true. She shares the team’s goal to empower every client to explore and discover the freedom and strength found in self-healing though mindful movement.
