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 and research new techniques and skills as a therapist… at least during any moments her two handsome little men allow her!

Beverley hit her 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 at Crossfit Nanaimo, chasing her boys at the park, reading, or spending time with friends and family.

Testimonial for Beverley Spidle

I began my search for a Massage Therapist mainly because of constant headaches, back and shoulder pain, generally attributed to the stress of my occupation.

This chronic pain in my neck and shoulders which would cause headaches – and occasionally a loss of mobility in my neck.

Once I began visiting Beverley Spidle my pain decreased, my headaches became less frequent, and eventually they ceased to exist. I highly recommend Bev – she is extremely knowledgeable and friendly.

To be honest, I’m not sure what to write exactly – I wanted to just write: “Bev is awesome! She gives great massages and I always leave happier.” What more could I ask for?

“Pain-free through massage therapy.”

Testimonial for Beverley Spidle

Ten years ago I was in a minor car accident that left me with chronic neck and back pain. At the suggestion of my naturopath, I began seeing Beverley Spidle for massage therapy.

As a result of the massage therapy that I received I am now pain free. This is important enough to repeat: my treatments with Bev completely alleviated my pain.

Not only am I free from physical pain, I am no longer emotionally stressed as a result of being in pain. I realized that I simply adjusted to the pain and accepted it and now that I am free of it I fully realize the negative impact that it had on my life. I am so grateful for Bev’s exceptional skill and commitment in getting me through this.

Last July I became pregnant with my first child. I have consistently seen Bev throughout the nine months of my pregnancy. At each stage Bev was able to make me more comfortable as my body adjusted to my advancing pregnancy. I so look forward to my weekly massage because know that I will leave feeling refreshed, rejuvenated and much more comfortable.

Seeing Bev for massage therapy has had a profound positive impact on my overall health and I am so grateful to have the opportunity to integrate the massage therapy that she delivers into my health care regiment.
