Gaelen Gibson, RMT
Role: Instructor
Gaelen graduated from Sutherland-Chan in 1995 and has been happily working in BC since. She went from exploring deep-tissue work into lighter more specific modalities as her hands became more sensitive and developed better proprioception. “Like many therapists, I explored a lot different manual therapy modalities. I took a visceral class with the Barral Institute and was hooked! It’s like I found a groove that fit with my perception of the work that I do and the world I live in. I’ve gone through most of their offered curriculum and became a TA for them, I loved helping other therapists ‘get’ the visceral component.” She re-developed and teaches an Introduction to Visceral class for Langara College’s RMT program and is super excited to share her love of visceral and the advanced visceral program with the students of MOCC.
Most of Gaelen’s practice involves visceral work of some sort, she loves working with women’s issues (lots of digestion and pelvic organs) as well as infants and children.
