Welcome! Step into Jamie’s world—a true West Coast enthusiast through and through. Hailing from the picturesque Vancouver Island, Jamie’s journey led her to Vancouver where she pursued her passion for massage at the West Coast College of Massage Therapy, graduating in 2007. Captivated by the city’s charm, she decided to make it her home, dedicating nine fruitful years to private practice and educating future RMTs at Vancouver’s College of Massage Therapy.

In 2016, an exciting work opportunity beckoned her husband and her to Powell River, where they found their haven.

Jamie’s approach to treatments is a blend of effectiveness, education, and serenity. She holds a profound belief in the pivotal role our nervous system plays in processing pain, striving not just to alleviate discomfort but to unravel its root cause. It’s about understanding ‘why’ those spots of pain exist in the first place, paving the way for lasting relief.

Focusing on postural realignment and restoring range of motion affected by joint or muscular issues, Jamie employs myofascial release, trigger point therapy, stretching, Swedish, and deep tissue methods. Yet, she also recognizes the pure power of relaxation—sometimes, letting your body unwind is the key to alleviating everyday stress and aches. Don’t hesitate to book a session solely dedicated to relaxation.

She has had success, as well as enjoyment, working with various issues like chronic low back, neck and shoulder pain, headaches, plantar fasciitis, and sciatica. She has also had the opportunity to work with many complex cases including Multiple Sclerosis, ALS, and Traumatic Brain Injuries.

Outside her practice, Jamie immerses herself in nature, often exploring local trails with her faithful companion Jack, her husband, and young son. Whether swimming in the crystalline lakes, mountain biking on our many trails, or unwinding at home surrounded by loved ones, she cherishes every moment.

Jamie’s unwavering dedication to holistic healthcare, combined with her genuine compassion and nurturing demeanor, fosters a welcoming and comforting healing space for those seeking her care.

Growing up on the lower Sunshine Coast helped to instill in her a closeness to nature and love of community. Although she will dearly miss her patients and practice in Vancouver, she is thrilled to now call the qathet regional district her home, along with her partner and their little rescue dog. “I hold a deep respect for the roots of Traditional Chinese Medicine. In our daily lives our life-force energy, or Qi, can become stagnant and get stuck in areas of the body. Past events/emotions/traumas live inside of us in the form of this stagnant Qi as well. This can manifest as physical pain, mental/emotional disharmony, hormonal imbalance and fertility challenges, digestive issues, low energy, sleep disruption and more. Acupuncture and TCM have the potential to treat all these conditions by addressing the root cause of the imbalance and assisting our body/mind/soul’s innate ability to heal. My goal as we work together is to help you feel better in your body. My particular passions lie in the areas of mental/emotional health and stress reduction, hormonal balance and fertility, and constitutional facial rejuvenation. Please feel free to reach out with any questions to : annieslakov@gmail.com. I look forward to meeting with you!” Clinic times: Wednesday afternoons Friday mornings Some Saturdays
