Big changes are happening at Invermere Massage Therapy

I want to fill you in on some important transitions happening at Invermere Massage Therapy this upcoming summer.

Firstly, as most of you already know, Don is leaving the Valley at the end of June to pursue new opportunities in the Okanagan. We’re all wishing Don the very best in his new chapter!

This news is followed by another big update: I have made the decision to close my massage practice and move to the Elk Valley to live with my partner and start a new adventure. After six wonderful years, the doors to the clinic will be permanently closing at the end of July, 2024.

As things currently stand, Karen will remain in the Valley and will continue working under the name Invermere Massage Therapy. Karen’s practice will move to a new location, and you can rest assured you’ll be the first to know once we have more information to share about this change.

I would like to personally thank each and every one of you for the many years of support. It has been a true honour to work with you!

If you have any questions about any of these changes, please reach out to me at margot.penner.rmt@gmail.com. I would be happy to chat!

Thank you again for your patronage and trust over the years. From all of us at IMT, it has been a pleasure to be a part of our community in this way!

Wishing you all the best,

Margot

Don Griffis, Osteopathic Manual Practitioner

Osteopathy is a hands-on treatment that uses manual practices to rebalance and realign all the body’s systems -- rather than focusing only the problem area. This means it’s a holistic, whole-body approach to healing that can have far-reaching benefits.
Appointments are between 60-75 minutes in length. This includes intake, history taking, evaluation and treatment.

Don is an Osteopathic Manual Practitioner who joined Invermere Massage Therapy in 2019. He graduated in 2012 from the Canadian School of Osteopathy - Manual Practice - Vancouver Campus, after a five-year education, and went on to practice in Vancouver for eight years – always fully booked and with an extensive waitlist. After making the move to Whitehorse, where he ran a successful private practice, Don relocated to Invermere to enjoy its outdoor recreation and mountain lifestyle.

An athlete himself, Don’s background is in sports medicine, and he has worked with teams for over 20 years. However, his valuable experience and continued education brings his expertise to a wide range of treatments, including work with post-concussion and post-trauma patients. He has treated a wide range of people, from 6 weeks old to 85 years old, and is committed to helping his clients achieve their goals and live better, healthier lives.

Don is passionate about travel and learning, so that he is continually enriched and educated – and he looks forward to bringing this to every treatment he gives.

Karen Jukes is a BC Registered Massage Therapist, a mother of two lovely teenage girls, and an avid outdoor enthusiast who has lived and played in the Columbia Valley since 2008. After a long career in forestry, and many years spent contemplating the move to holistic healthcare, Karen graduated from the MH Vicars School of Massage Therapy in early 2019.

Her massage practice balances trigger point therapy, movement optimization, stress relief, and relaxation – all while remaining patient-focused, meaning that the needs and objectives of her clients are Karen’s highest priority. She’s dedicated to her patients feeling empowered in their treatments, so that their overall health and wellness is improved and they’re able to move through life with ease.

While perfecting what she has learned so far, Karen looks forward to continuing her education in areas such as lymphatic drainage and myofascial release.

When she’s not at the clinic, she can be found hiking with her daughters, skating on the lake, paddleboarding, and cross-country skiing. Karen’s warm, grounded, and friendly presence is sure to be a welcome asset in your healthcare.
