ABOUT US
At The Lake Country Collective, we believe massage therapy is about more than relieving tension. It’s about helping people feel supported, cared for, and more connected to themselves.
Founded by Emily and Jack, our practice was built from a shared passion for helping others improve their well-being through compassionate, personalized care. We create a calm and welcoming environment where every treatment is tailored to the individual, whether you’re seeking pain relief, stress reduction, recovery support, or simply time to reset.
Emily focuses on women’s health and maternity massage, offering thoughtful care through all stages of life. Jack provides wellness-focused massage treatments while completing his education, bringing a grounded and approachable style to every session.
Located in beautiful Lake Country, BC, we’re proud to support our community through treatments that are both therapeutic and restorative.
Our
Story
Get to Know Us
The Lake Country Collective began long before we opened our doors in Lake Country.
Emily and Jack first met while travelling in Vietnam, where they quickly discovered a shared passion for wellness, connection, and helping people feel their best. What started as a friendship built through travel and shared experiences eventually grew into a life together. Then later, a shared vision for creating a space centered around care and healing.
After moving from the UK to Canada, Jack joined Emily in pursuing a path in massage therapy and wellness. Although our journeys into massage were different, they were both driven by the same purpose: to make a positive difference in people’s lives.
We know firsthand how much thoughtful care, human connection, and taking time for yourself can impact overall well-being. That belief is at the heart of everything we do.
The Lake Country Collective was created to be a space where people feel welcomed, listened to, and genuinely cared for. Whether they’re coming in for pain relief, relaxation, pregnancy support, or simply a moment to slow down in the middle of life’s busyness.
We’re grateful to be part of the Lake Country community and to do work that allows us to support people every day.
