Our Team

Christina is new to the Columbia Valley having relocated from the prairies of Saskatchewan at the end of 2022.  After a difficult few years in the public health sector she is excited to apply her health care background, management experience and passion for caring for people to a new field.

She loves the outdoors and will be taking advantage of the abundance of hiking and paddling in the area and enjoying the gorgeous landscape of her new backyard.  When she is not exploring her new home turf you can find her caring for her many plants and beloved pets and spending time with family and friends.

Christina’s infectious bubbly energy, kind and compassionate nature and warm authenticity have been a valuable addition to the team at Elevation. She looks forward to welcoming you to the spa soon!

Jean has a history in the beauty industry but found her calling in Reiki and Lomilomi. Clients have remarked on the “Profound relaxation” her lomilomi massages can induce as well as the relief from pain that it can provide.

Hawaiian Lomilomi is the traditional healing modality used for centuries by the Hawaiian people to re-align the body, mind and spirit. Sometimes called the “loving hands” massage, Lomilomi uses gentle, stretching movements to ease the release of tension and stress, leaving the client with a deep sense of peace and well-being. Jean always includes essential oils in her treatments, selected especially for the clients needs.

After relocating to the area with her local Columbia Valley husband, Trina has settled into the valley lifestyle and enjoys spending time with her family, kayaking, and soaking up the beauty of the mountains.

Trina’s fun loving personality and attention to detail are the perfect combination. No matter what service you receive you can rest assured that you will feel taken care of and happy with the end result.

Trina is currently offering manicures, pedicures, relaxation facials, facial waxing, as well as lash and brow tinting.

Originally from Eastern Europe, Ekaterina (Kate) has travelled extensively throughout the world, finally finding herself in the Columbia Valley.

She looks forward to welcoming you to the spa!

Returning from a three year pause in massage for her own physical and spiritual healing, Shauna has well over 12 years experience in massage working in spas, clinics and yoga studios in Calgary, Alberta.

She has spent her life involved in holistic health and wellness as a sports trainer, yoga teacher and energy worker (primarily in reiki). As she has been drawn to animals since she was young, she spent the last year pet sitting for sweet cats and dogs.
When she is not at work Shauna loves to hang out with like minded souls, taking in sound baths, dancing, singing and being in nature. She also has a regular practice of yoga, mediation and conscious breath work.

She is excited for this new adventure, relocating to a smaller, quieter space in nature for the next chapter of her journey. Shauna has a deep empathic heart and truly loves to explore new experiences and is grateful for the opportunity to meet and connect with her new clients here in the Columbia Valley.

Karen graduated from Professional Institute of Massage Therapy in 1997.  She has been practicing on and off for 25 years in Calgary in a clinical setting doing therapeutic and deep tissue massage.
