Everything Carol does is with care and attention. From the
calming room she has created, to the intentional beginning
and ending of a massage, she is mindful of creating a sacred
space. Carol treats the body gently and with reverence as
she carefully "listens" to the body's concerns. Whether for
relaxation or preventative medicine, a massage with Carol is
a gift to oneself.

As someone who lives between the physical extremes of a desk job
during weekdays and exercise during the evenings and on weekends,
I find my muscles can easily become strained and tightened.
Carol's bodywork has proven to be an effective and relaxing
complement to my lifestyle. I highly recommend her to anyone
seeking to maintain a good balance in their lives.

Massage is a portal to deep emotional recovery. Carol provides the
space to explore what is within that keeps one from enjoying
life to the fullest.

I was most fortunate to discover Carol and Oceanview Massage Clinic
during my pregnancy. Despite the unique challenges pregnancy
presented, Carol was more than able to make me feel relaxed
and comfortable at each appointment, right up until my due
date! I am already looking forward to my next appointment
with her, post-baby! I would not hesitate to recommend Carol
to anyone considering massage. She is truly gifted!!
Thanks again Carol.

Your setting is beautiful and I appreciated all the little touches
that created a calming atmosphere and allowed me to leave my
stressful world behind for a little while. The massage I
received from you was nurturing, relaxing, and respectful of
my hard working body, mind and spirit. Caring and concern for
your clients is obvious in your preparation and dedication to
meeting their specific needs. I left feeling relaxed and uplifted.

Carol Bassingthwaighte has magic hands! She gave me a
massage a while ago and I left feeling very relaxed and at
peace. Her studio is warm and aromatic and gives off a
comforting aura. The aromas of lavender and other
essential oils please the senses. Carol’s voice is
soothing and comforting and puts her clients at ease
immediately. Her way of giving a massage is professional
and skilled. Carol worked my knots and stresses away.
She is also a trained counsellor so if you have something
you would like to talk about, Carol will encourage you to
release it during your treatment. I highly recommend Carol’s
massage treatments to help to ease away the stresses and
strains of today’s world.

I first heard about Carol Bassingthwaighte through an
article in a local Nanaimo paper. I was impressed that
she not only had massage skills, but also an M.A. in counselling.
It had been my experience in the past that personal issues
often came up during bodywork sessions and I wanted to be
in capable hands.
Several months later, due to the beginning of a very
stressful short-term job in March of 2004, I finally called
Carol hoping that massage therapy would help me to ease some
of my stress. The lovely older home, beautiful massage room
and Carol’s caring, professional demeanour impressed me
immediately. After my first massage I realised that I had indeed
found the solace that I so desperately needed at the time.
In addition, I experienced the best massage I have ever had!
The extreme tension in my shoulders and neck eased and I
started dealing with some emotional issues, which had been
put on the back burner. Each one of my massages is slightly
different. One of Carols’ great gifts is to know intuitively
exactly what my body and soul needs.
Thanks to Carol, I was able to finish my difficult three-month
work assignment and now I have the courage to pursue another career
path more suited to my talents. I highly recommend
Oceanview Massage Clinic!
