Alicia Hoppenrath RMT
Registered Massage Therapist, Doula, Breastfeeding Counsellor Bowen Island Massage Therapy 597 Artisan Lane, Bowen Island bowenislandwellnesscentre.ca |

Since a very young age I have been fascinated by the human body; and in particular pregnancy, childbirth, and infants. I am a Mother, Registered Massage Therapist, Birth and Postpartum Doula and Breastfeeding Counsellor. Previous to pursuing a career in massage, I worked both privately and collectively amongst other doulas in the city of Vancouver. I gained experience through working with a variety of age groups and socio economic demographics. I volunteered at a selection of midwifery clinics, as well as the Youth Pregnancy and Parenting Program (through VCH) for three years. I have further credentials as a Hypno-Doula and through Waterbirth international.
Currently, I work as an RMT at Bowen Island Massage Therapy, provide breastfeeding support, am a member of the Caring Circle resource centre, am involved in the baby connections program through Family Place, and have assisted in co-launching the Bowen Island Birth Collective. I continue to share a strong passion for childbirth, pre and post-natal care, athletics, nutrition, and the great outdoors. I am an advocate for client centred care, informed choice, and prenatal education.
I value the freedom of movement through an active lifestyle, and outdoor recreation has been an integral part of maintaining my health and joy for many years.
I am committed to supporting my clients and their individual needs, bringing great enthusiasm to working with people of all ages. I believe that in order to have a healthy birth, promote balance and facilitate healing, one must be educated about their body, learn to trust and believe in our innate abilities, practice good nutrition, and maintain regular movement.
I am excited to be apart of the Bowen Birth Collective team, offering our services to the community of Bowen Island!
