Our Team
Christina
Spa Manager
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
Lomilomi Practitioner
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.
Trina
Nail Technician
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.
