He is an outgoing, passionate and active individual. Outside of work he is an avid cyclist and enjoys shredding the slopes.

He then quickly became curious about what preventative maintenance he could’ve done to live a more enjoyable, pain-free life.

Through experiencing multiple injuries he was given the opportunity to seek massage therapy and found soft tissue mobilization to be extremely effective. As a result, this gave Calvin the passion to pursue a profession where he can empower and educate his patients, ultimately leading them into a pain-free lifestyle. Through his education in becoming a Registered Massage Therapist at WCCMT, he gained clinical experience working with a vast number of the population and conditions which includes seniors, neurological, and sports injuries.
