Registered Massage Therapist | Bowen Practitioner
Founder and Owner of Best of Health Inc.
Theresa is the founder of Best of Health and a dedicated health and wellness practitioner with over 30 years of hands-on experience serving patients in Airdrie and Calgary, Alberta. Her approach to care is deeply personal and shaped by her own lifelong healing journey.
In Grade One, she sustained a tailbone injury from a teeter-totter accident that set the stage for chronic pain lasting more than 30 years. Over time, this included persistent sciatica, migraines, and headaches that significantly impacted her quality of life. Even after becoming a Registered Massage Therapist and practicing for nearly 20 years, she continued to search for lasting relief.
Outside of her practice, Theresa is the proud mother of three grown children and enjoys travel, time with family and friends, staying active, and creative renovation projects. She is passionate about functional medicine and is a lifelong learner of the body’s natural ability to heal.
It was through experiencing the Bowen Technique that everything changed. This gentle yet powerful therapy addressed the underlying pain patterns in her body, ultimately allowing her to become pain free. Inspired by the profound transformation she experienced, Theresa pursued formal Bowen Technique training so she could help her patients find the same relief.
Theresa has been practicing the Bowen Technique for the past 14 years and is known for her compassionate, patient-centered approach. She specializes in the Bowen Technique, helping patients address chronic pain, digestive imbalances, and nervous system regulation to support whole-body balance and reclaim their quality of life. This is her passion!
My passion for helping people get relief continues to grow as I observe countless patients getting back to enjoying their lives.”

My son goes for regular Bowen treatments with Theresa and facial stretching with Justina. It has increased his mobility, speed and performance as an athlete and has kept him injury free and minimal down time. It has been an excellent complement to his regular training and we both highly recommend Best of Health.
