About

About Your Therapist

Gloria is a Registered Massage Therapist working out of the clinic, Kinetic Evolution in Kelowna, BC. She previously worked at 2 clinics full-time in Vancouver, but found the quieter life in Kelowna compelling and moved over with her dog in September, 2026.

Whether you're dealing with chronic tension, recovering from something, or just need an hour to slow down and breathe, Gloria will be glad to welcome you into her care.

Gloria is conversational in French and Mandarin — don't be shy!

    Her science background from the University of Otago shapes how she thinks through every visit.

Meet the Team

Say hello to Peppermint

Gloria's dog, Peppermint, is a very well-behaved Dalmatian who often comes to work with her. He's used to a calm, quiet room and mostly just naps in the corner — more than a few clients have said he's the best part of their visit.
