Shannon Berrow
registered massage therapist

Shannon Berrow, RMT, believes that a therapist is not “fixing”, rather facilitating, a patient’s body in its healing process. For Shannon this is achieved through touch, tissue manipulation, encouragement of breath, body awareness, patient education and recommendations for self-care. 
Shannon Berrow is an RMT serving Pitt Meadows, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Maple Ridge, Langley, Aldergrove & beyond. Shannon loves to work with Pregnancy & Postpartum, female health, jaw pain/dysfunction and Mashing.

Susanna Chin

Susanna’s main focus of practice is in prenatal & postpartum massage & support and in women’s health & fitness.  However, she happily works with clients from all walks of life.  Though Susanna treats a variety of clients and ailments, she has focused her post-graduate studies in working with women during the childbearing years.  Working on issues such as fertility, sciatica, headaches, carpal tunnel, fatigue, and many other concerns related to pregnancy and simply being a mom!   

​As a mother of two herself, Susanna is very passionate about working with other moms and feels honoured to be a part of their journey into motherhood and beyond. Susanna is very passionate about patient education and connecting moms.  She has hosted Mom and Baby meet-ups, and been honoured to attend several births.  Working in this amazing field for almost 16 years, Susanna has developed an extensive network and referral base in the area and can help connect you to other individuals, therapists, groups, or instructors depending on your needs.  She is very excited to be working with Bellies Inc Community Space.

Tara Hawkin
​registered massage therapist

she/her/hers
Tara Hawkin, RMT has experienced several different aspects of the health and wellness industry. She began her career as a personal trainer before deciding she needed to know more about the body so entered into the massage therapy program through West Coast College of Massage Therapy, graduating in April 2013 from the 3000 program.

​Tara treats holistically, preferring to see the body as a global system rather than focusing on a specific injured area. She treats with a biopsychosocial approach, looking not just at the physical injury or ailment, but at all aspects of life that are affected and can affect the nervous systems natural ability to heal the body. She finds this approach to be effective in resolving injuries or issues and restoring the individual back to themselves.
