Lesley Greco  RMT


Since graduating from the Canadian College of Massage and Hydrotherapy in 1996 Lesley has been driven by her love of learning. In addition to Swedish massage she has trained extensively in various bodywork modalities such as thai massage, energetic bodywork, movement, psychodramatic bodywork® and related fields such as dreamwork, spirituality, psychotherapy, and expressive arts. Her studies have taken her all over North America, Europe and Asia. Her work has been described as intuitive, integrative, nourishing and has been profoundly informed by her artistic pursuits and studies with the masters of their respective fields, most particularly Canadian dancer Margie Gillis and legendary New York composer Pauline Oliveros. Currently Lesley is involved in the certificate program of the deep listening institute® researching the relationship between bodywork, dreamwork, and creative expression.

Etai Tintpulver  RMT 


Etai studied massage therapy at the West Coast College of Massage Therapy and became certified in 2005. Since then he has become trained in Thai massage, craniosacral therapy, and various connective tissue release modalities. He also works at the Canadian College of Massage and Hydrotherapy where he teaches manual techniques, and the treatment of musculoskeletal pathologies.

Etai approaches pain and dysfunction from a structural perspective. He works directly on problem areas to manage pain and also works indirectly to correct underlying postural imbalances, and release energetic holding patterns. His work can range from deep tissue release to the subtlety of craniosacral therapy. Often, multiple modalities are used in one treatment to create longer lasting benefits.

Etai's clinical experience comprises:

  • acute to chronic pain
  • headaches
  • migraines
  • occupational strains
  • car accidents
  • overuse injuries
  • running injuries
  • physical traumas
  • post-surgical recovery


"I try to look at all the tissues of the body, see how they all connect and work in concert. When situations disturb the balance of our system we end up with a discord which manifests as breakdown and pain. Identifying and rectifying the source of imbalance is paramount to vibrant living."
