More about Lynne
Lynne, a graduate of the West Coast College of Massage Therapy (WWCMT) in 2001, holds a Bachelor of Health Science. Following her tenure as a supervisor and instructor at the college, she founded Solace Wellness Centre in 2007. Lynne’s teaching experience extends to Kundalini Yoga, where she imparts this yogic science to empower self healing.
With a diverse range of skills, Lynne seamlessly integrates myofascial techniques, deep tissue work, trigger point release, and breathwork into her treatments. Her approach is rooted in evidence-based research and she also considers the body’s subtle language.

In the realm of yoga, she has completed a comprehensive 1000-hour Hatha Yoga program and Kundalini Yoga training through the Kundalini Research Institute (KRI), encompassing Level 1 and Level 2 Humanology.

Nabilah Alarien, CranioSacral RMT.
Nebilah has been a Registered Massage Therapist in downtown Vancouver since 2010, after graduating from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy in 2009.
More about Nabilah
She is a Reiki Master and has been a Member of the Canadian Reiki Association since its inception in 2004. She loves a good book, and is an avid hiker. As a past dancer and running enthusiast, she also understands the importance of physical therapeutic maintenance and upkeep for a vital and healthy lifestyle.
A fairly new resident of Nanaimo since 2018, she is excited and honoured to bring her skill set and her healing work here. She has a passion for continued learning of human anatomy and physiology as well as the more subtle workings of energy, breath, and meditation. Nebilah has a deep understanding and acceptance of the uniqueness of every body that finds their way to her table. She is able to balance her treatments with both therapeutic and relaxing techniques. She also incorporates breath work and visualization.
Nebilah has 15yrs experience as a RMT in BC in treating various muscle imbalances due to overuse injuries and postural imbalances, chronic neck and back pain. As of 2024, Nebilah will be solely focusing on her Bio-Dynamic Cranial Sacral practice and is excited to incorporate new techniques, subtle energy and breath work into her already established practice. She chooses to “listen to” the body’s natural rhythms to dictate her treatment. Every body is unique. She is thrilled and excited to re-join Solace Wellness! She also continues to practice from her home treatment office Mondays and Thursdays.
