About Voland Shishkin

Hello! My name is Voland, and I am thrilled to be part of the Foundations Naturopathic Health team. My journey in healthcare began in Ukraine, where I practiced as a cardiac surgeon. Seven years ago, I made the life-changing decision to move to Canada, bringing with me a strong foundation in medical knowledge and a deep commitment to patient-centered care. I completed the Registered Massage Therapy program at Vancouver Career College in 2024. With my background in both medicine and athletics, I approach massage therapy through a holistic, person-centered lens, blending professional expertise with compassionate care to support each patient’s unique path to better health and wellness.

My mission

 

To help others in a professional and person-centered way so they can leave each treatment session feeling more themselves. This diverse background not only enhances my proficiency in treatment but also allows me to build meaningful connections with patients seeking relief from a wide array of conditions.

Approach to Treatment

My therapeutic approach is shaped by both personal and professional experience with the demands of the modern world. I primarily focus on Swedish and myofascial techniques to create a calm, safe space where patients feel heard and gain greater knowledge about their bodies. My sessions are designed to provide person-centered care and a holistic approach to treatment. I focus on creating personalized care plans that address each patient’s specific concerns. Whether you're dealing with general aches and pains, managing stress, facing joint issues like frozen shoulder, or experiencing the natural wear and tear that comes with aging, I am here to support your wellness journey. I am also interested in working with patients managing metabolic disorders and those looking to enhance their overall mobility and well-being.​
 

Looking Ahead

​I am dedicated to expanding my skills through continuing education courses in massage therapy techniques to offer a wider range of treatment options and improve the effectiveness of my treatments. I currently offer relaxation massages, but my immediate goal is to complete my massage therapy exam in early 2025 to become a fully licensed Registered Massage Therapist. In the future, I plan to continually grow as a practitioner and provide the highest standard of care to my patients.

I look forward to meeting you and working together to help you feel your very best!
