Meet Kalvin Tarasoff | Registered Massage Therapist | Serving Gibsons Since 1998
Kalvin graduated from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy (WCCMT) in Vancouver in 1997 and has been treating within the Sunshine Coast community ever since. With over 25 years of hands-on experience, Kalvin has developed a well-rounded general practice in Gibsons, BC, where he integrates a variety of techniques, including Trigger Point Therapy, Myofascial Release, Swedish Massage, Sports Massage, and instrument-assisted soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM).
Known for his down-to-earth approach and compassionate nature, Kalvin brings both strength and sensitivity to his treatments. He genuinely enjoys connecting with people and brings a deep level of care to each session. “I love what I do,” he says, “and I can’t wait to get to know you and help however I can.”
Kalvin grew up in Quesnel, a small, tough town in BC’s Cariboo region, where he learned to navigate life’s challenges early on, including growing up with a vision impairment and overcoming adversity in a complex home environment. These life experiences have shaped him into a strong, empathetic caregiver who shows up wholeheartedly for his patients.
Outside the clinic, Kalvin leads a full and vibrant life. He’s an avid cyclist, skier, swimmer, and weightlifter. He also plays with the local Gibson’s Pipe Band and has even won at the Provincial Legion Games. Since 2002, Kalvin has been an active member of Christ the King Community Church.
Kalvin is proud to be part of the local community and honoured to support others on their healing journey—no matter where they’re starting from.

What is Massage Therapy for?
Massage therapy is designed to promote relaxation, alleviate muscle tension, and enhance overall well-being. It involves a range of techniques, including kneading, rubbing, and applying pressure to the body’s soft tissues, aiming to improve circulation, reduce pain, and increase flexibility. Beyond its physical benefits, massage therapy also supports mental health by providing a tranquil environment where stress and anxiety can dissipate, allowing the mind to achieve a state of calm and clarity
What benefits can I expect?
Massage therapy provides numerous physical and mental advantages. It effectively reduces muscle tension, eases pain, and enhances circulation, which encourages quicker healing and relaxation. Regular massage sessions can also help diminish stress and anxiety by activating the body’s relaxation response, leading to lowered heart rate and blood pressure. Furthermore, massage therapy can enhance flexibility, strengthen immune function, and improve sleep quality, promoting an overall sense of well-being. Whether you’re healing from an injury, coping with chronic pain, or looking for relaxation, massage therapy can offer relief and enhance your quality of life.
Massage is a therapy that speaks the language of the body.
