Kimberly Taylor

Registered Massage Therapist, Yamuna Body Rolling 

Kimberly was born and raised in Kelowna, BC and after traveling extensively through Europe, living in New York and Toronto, she decided it was time to focus on her career. Throughout her life she had suffered from numerous injuries and had always had an interest in natural medicine and health care which has ultimately lead her to becoming a Registered Massage Therapist. In 1995, Kimberly graduated from the Canadian College of Massage and Hydrotherapy in Ontario and returned back to  Vancouver where she practiced for 10 years, working extensively with the B.C. Lions football team and Olympic athletes.

She longed to return back to Kelowna so she packed up her family and returned back home in 2005 to continue developing her practice. Kimberly continues to advance her knowledge in her field by continuing her education to ensure she is able to treat a wide range of conditions that her patients are suffering from. A partial list of the courses she has completed include: Muscle Balance and Function 1, 2 and 3, Licensed Acupuncturist, Yamuna Body Rolling 3rd level instructor, Craniosacral Therapy 1 and 2, Neuromuscular Therapy (variety of different courses), Body Ball Synergy, and Muscle Energy.

Alicia Doll, RMT

Registered Massage Therapist
Alicia is new to Kelowna, but not new to Massage Therapy.

Alicia’s treatments are a combination of skills that have been taught to her from excellent mentors and continuing education courses. She blends traditional massage styles and applies new techniques with compassion and knowledge.

She describes her pressure as, “Firm and therapeutic. A massage should have a good pressure to a client; it does not necessarily need to be painful the whole time. Addressing both the bodies need to heal and the mind's need for rest in important to me.”

Since graduation in 2010, from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy in Victoria, BC Alicia has embraced the advantage of being able to travel while being a Massage Therapist. This has taken her from Vancouver Island, BC to Australia, Big White Ski Resort and now in Kelowna, BC.

She looks forward to meeting you!

James Wendland

Registered Kinesiologist

My background in Kinesiology, Health, and Sports started as an athlete where I have had the joy of competing at high levels in swimming, baseball, soccer, and premier Rugby. While at college in 1998 I took a kinesiology course and found my passion. Working with others to maximize performance and aide injury management/rehabilitation. 

In 2003 I founded Kinesiologists.ca and ran this business till 2010 when new ownership took over. I have also had the joy of owning/operating fitness centres, most notably the Whistler Creek Athletic Club from 2008-2011. The Olympics were an incredible experience and the teams that trained out of the facility were eye opening to assist with. From Germany to Russia to France etc. The winter sport athletes showed what performance can be. My teaching and instructing of future Kinesiologists during my roles as an Instructor at CapilanoU for 5 years, UBC for 2 years, Quest University, and as a sessional instructor here in Kelowna at UBC Okanagan has involved an abundance of course offerings further enhancing my knowledge and understanding of human physiology and development. 

My course offerings and teaching experience involves the delivering, development,and instruction of multiples sections in Exercise Prescription, Exercise Physiology, Strength and Conditioning, Human Anatomy, Athletic Injuries and Management, Human Growth and Development, Motor Learning, Motor Behaviour, Sport History, Society and Sport, Health and Wellness, the basics, Intro to Kinesiology, Physical Education (Sport Theory and Coaching in Soccer, Volleyball, Basketball, Badminton, and Aerobic Dance). During my Graduate work I had the benefit of cadaver dissection thru UBC medical school completing 1st year torso/organ dissection and 2nd year limb dissection with the 1st and 2nd year medical students. This was from complete, un-dissected cadavers providing me an intimate understanding of anatomy. During this time I also instructed HKIN Functional Anatomy and Applied Physiology labs in human Kinetics focusing on the musculoskeletal systems. In my team roles I have had an abundance of opportunities to apply and advance my skill set. For 6 seasons I assisted in the Vancouver Canucks pre-season fitness evaluation of players using the NHL and Team combine protocols. I also enjoyed appearing on the hockey series "Bell Making the Cut" as the Wingate guy (the one yelling, lol) completing the anaerobic evaluation of potential NHL players. 

As a Strength Coach I have worked with Team Hockey developing young athletes from recreational to high performance levels. I also was lucky to be asked to work with the Vancouver Rowing Club as the youth development Strength Coach and Premier Team Strength Coach developing players across all spectrums of health and injury. At UBC (Vancouver) I had the pleasure of being the Head Athletic Trainer for UBC Rugby for 2 years and then became the Head Athletic Trainer for UBC Football for and additional 2 years during which time i went back to playing for UBC rugby. My endeavours and commitment here resulted in my acceptance into the UBC Big Block club for Varsity Athletes, Trainers, and Coaches.

Thru all of my roles within health, wellness, sport, and injury management/rehabilitation my passion has always been working with students, individuals, and teams to assist in their personal development as individuals and athletes. As an instructor i volunteered my time to students helping them complete their "painted picture" or ten-year plans using the Rockefeller habits as a model. This has provided me with a great deal of reward as athletes i worked with drafted have been drafted into the NHL, students have gone on to fulfill their goals/plans, clients have found recovery and returned to a life either free of or significantly reduced in injury pain. MY passion lies with training, rehabilitating, and developing individuals across all spectrums of life.
