Hello, I’m Zach and I am proud to be a Registered Massage Therapist at Modern Wellness. I grew up in Kitsilano Vancouver but moved to Richmond 7 years ago. Throughout my education I had a passion for sports, rehab and anatomy. Growing up playing hockey, baseball and soccer led me to wanting a career in rehabilitation. I still play soccer to this day and I am a lifelong fan of the Vancouver Canucks.

I’ve met a lot of injuries over the years and received an assortment of help and rehab myself. Getting to see first hand how trained professionals can help with injuries was very inspiring.

Working as an RMT has provided me the toolset and environment to fully realize these passions. I completed my 3,000 hour RMT program in August 2017 and I hope to see many patients and help them achieve their therapeutic goals.

Outside of the clinical setting I enjoy playing soccer, doing various mobility and movement activities and HIIT workouts, and cold plunges for self-care!
