Jolene Beilstein
Registered Massage Therapist
“Plunge boldly into the beyond and then be free wherever you are” Shoitsu (1202 – 1280)
These simple and ancient words encompass Jolene’s philosophy, both personally and professionally.
Not having any previous experience with massage therapy, Jolene took the plunge in 2002, enrolling in the Canadian College of Massage and Hydrotherapy in Kitchener, Ontario. The four years spent out of high school working many different jobs discovering what she didn’t want to do when she grew up, ultimately lead Jolene to her chosen profession. Always having a firm belief in the power of touch and a sense of wonder at how the body could innately heal itself, massage therapy felt like a perfect fit. Years of struggle and strife netted Jolene a diploma and an Outstanding Academic Achievement award and again took a plunge and moved from Waterloo, Ontario to the sunny Okanagan.
Since moving here 4 years ago, Jolene has had the opportunity to work as a Chiropractic Assistant at Active Care Health and most recently as the Massage Therapist at the O Spa. Jolene has also had the privilege of working as a Behavioural Therapist to an autistic teenager for the past year and a half.
Travel has always been an important part of Jolene’s life. Believing that life experience can be the greatest teacher of all and that our world is the best classroom, she has embraced the experiences had and lessons learned in places as far away as Spain, India and Nepal and as close as Tofino. However, she believes that exploring one’s own personal physical and mental limitations are important as well. Long distance running (2 half marathons and one full marathon), rock climbing and Bikram yoga has allowed Jolene to see just how powerful one can become when mind, body and spirit are working in unison.
Jolene is currently registered with British Columbia College of Massage Therapists and Massage Therapist Association of B.C. She is truly passionate about all aspects of massage therapy, from deep tissue to relaxation and has experience working with all types of physical conditions including (but not limited to) pregnancy, scleroderma, fibromyalgia and sports injuries. Whatever it is you bring to the table, Jolene is honoured to assist you in your journey back to health and wellness. She is excited to join the Core Chiropractic team and is eager to plunge into the next phase of her life.
