Acupuncture

The practice of acupuncture aims to restore the balance and flow of Qi by stimulating specific points on the meridians. The selection of points for treatment is tailored to the individual’s condition and symptoms. Acupuncture is used to treat a wide range of conditions, including chronic pain, headaches, digestive issues, stress, anxiety, and insomnia.

Float Therapy

Float Therapy is a wellness practice that involves lying in a pod filled with warm water and epsom salt, designed to create a near-weightless environment. The high concentration of epsom salt allows the body to float effortlessly on the surface of the water, which is maintained at skin temperature (approximately 35°C).

Float Therapy is a wellness practice that involves lying in a pod filled with warm water and epsom salt, designed to create a near-weightless environment. The high concentration of epsom salt allows the body to float effortlessly on the surface of the water, which is maintained at skin temperature (approximately 35°C).

The primary goal of float therapy is to provide a tranquil space free from external stimuli, allowing the mind and body to enter a state of deep relaxation. Floating can lead to various physical and mental health benefits, including reduced stress, alleviation of chronic pain, improved sleep, enhanced creativity, and greater mental clarity. The buoyancy and zero-gravity environment can also relieve pressure on the joints and muscles, making it beneficial for those with chronic pain or recovering from injuries.

Hot / Cold Therapy

Infrared sauna therapy involves sitting in a sauna that uses infrared heaters to emit infrared light, which is absorbed by the skin to create a deep, penetrating heat. This therapy can increase circulation, promote detoxification, reduce muscle soreness, and improve overall relaxation and stress relief. Cold plunge therapy, on the other hand, involves immersing the body in cold water, typica... Read More

Infrared sauna therapy involves sitting in a sauna that uses infrared heaters to emit infrared light, which is absorbed by the skin to create a deep, penetrating heat. This therapy can increase circulation, promote detoxification, reduce muscle soreness, and improve overall relaxation and stress relief.

Cold plunge therapy, on the other hand, involves immersing the body in cold water, typically ranging from 5 - 10 degrees Celsius. This practice can reduce inflammation, boost the immune system, improve circulation, and accelerate muscle recovery by constricting blood vessels and reducing swelling.

Alternating between infrared sauna therapy and cold plunge therapy leverages the contrasting effects of heat and cold. The heat helps to relax muscles and open blood vessels, while the cold helps to reduce inflammation and tighten blood vessels. This combination can enhance recovery, increase energy levels, and improve overall physical and mental resilience.

Massage Therapy

Massage therapists manipulate the soft tissues of your body which include muscle, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments, fascia and skin; this affects the muscular, skeletal, circulatory, and nervous systems of the body, and improves immune and lymphatic system functions of the body. Massage Therapy can be done with or without oil, cream, or lotion, and can be applied to bare or clothed ski... Read More

Zenthai Shiatsu is a contemporary fusion of Traditional Thai Massage, Zen Shiatsu, and Osteopathy, held together within a heart-centered Yoga philosophy framework.

The therapist applies pressure and traction, mobilizes joints, unwinds fascia, and tends to the contractions of the body-mind using a custom ... Read More

Zenthai Shiatsu is a contemporary fusion of Traditional Thai Massage, Zen Shiatsu, and Osteopathy, held together within a heart-centered Yoga philosophy framework. Zenthai is done with the client fully clothed, positioned on the floor on a futon-like mat. The therapist applies pressure and traction, mobilizes joints, unwinds fascia, and tends to the contractions of the body-mind using a custom tailored sequence of positions and movements created specifically for the unique issues of each client.

Zenthai Therapists use Five-Element Theory (Traditional Chinese Medicine) to assess and treat the particularities of each client. The therapist will directly address discomfort in the body, and may also address specific meridians or acu-points that correspond to the complaint.

Adrian Tomei
(He/Him) B.HSc, RMT, ZST

After graduating from the U of L’s Addictions Counselling program (B.HSc) in 2014, Adrian spent most of the next decade working and playing on Vancouver Island. A continual desire to deepen and develop led Adrian to become a Massage Therapist, graduating WCCMT Victoria in 2019. Since then he’s logged countless hours honing his bodywork and healership skills with all sorts of folk.

Adrian is experienced and effective within many realms: athletic sports massage, chronic pain management, autoimmune support, nervous system down-regulation, technical evidence-informed protocols, and more. Well known for his relaxing and uncomplicated approach to therapy, Adrian ensures his clients leave the treatment room empowered with the knowledge and skills needed to continue their healing at home.

Forever aligned with BIPOC, LGBTQ2+, and Neurodivergent folk, Adrian offers a safe space for all. Adrian hopes that his clients are able to benefit from the many interrelated threads that have informed his approach to therapy, and which allow him to safely and effectively treat all sorts of humans.

Adrian’s most unique bodywork offering is Zenthai Shiatsu Therapy, a beautiful floor massage modality fusing the best of Traditional Thai massage, Zen Shiatsu, and Osteopathy into a relaxing, grounding, and highly effective offering. Adrian is excited to bring this contemporary yet ancient craft to his clientele here at Tranquility.

A history of extreme sports (and their corresponding injuries) means Adrian understands the needs and demands of active people – an understanding which evolved as Adrian’s passion for mindful movement led him to teaching certifications in Qi Gong and Yoga, deepening his understanding of the relationships between lifestyle habits, stress, inflammation, and pain.

Many years of existential musings eventually led Adrian to a deep commitment to Zen practice, which continues to inform his therapeutic practice on a daily basis.
