Meet Beverley.

In a nutshell, Beverley is happiest when working and supporting like-minded practitioners and clients.

She’s ultimately motivated and interested in living the best life possible, while encouraging others to do the same.

A self-proclaimed work-o-holic, Beverley has been heard saying “a Massage Therapist is the only thing I could truly be”. Beverley loves the challenge of helping people live fulfilling lives while promoting Registered Massage Therapy in Nanaimo. She’s driven to constantly improve Knead Therapy Clinic for all clients, therapists, and staff.

Bev loves to learn techniques, tools and theories involving wellness. She loves to support new grads with practice management, sharing her experience and skills as a Registered Massage Therapist.

Beverley hit her “hands on” stride once learning Systemic Deep Tissue Therapy® – this discovery opened up a new world of techniques that benefit clients and herself as a therapist.

In Beverley’s personal time you’ll find her working diligently on her own self care, fitness, reading, watching horror films, and loving her two boys and husband.

“The greatest gift.”

Testimonial for Beverley Spidle

I had suffered with chronic lower back pain for many years – it had got to the point where I couldn’t even bend over to tie my shoe laces. Three years ago I was not overweight but had lost all ability to lean forward, twist or lift. It was affecting my work and more importantly my quality of life as I am an active person.

In three sessions Beverley reached into my muscles and undid years of compounded damage that other physicians had been unable to tame. I have no idea how she did it… But it’s been the greatest gift. I skied 72 days last year, tomorrow I hit the slopes for another pain free year.

Thanks Beverley!

“Above & beyond.”

Testimonial for Beverley Spidle

Beverley Spidle has helped me enormously in overcoming my back pain and assisting in the breakdown of scar tissue while my injuries were healing, keeping me flexible and able to go back to my regular activities.

What I like most, from the wonderful massages, is how they go above and beyond to offer tips, advice, and knowledge on how to care for your pain points on your own. This shows how much they care about their customers.
