This is a magical part of BC and on weekends you will find me and my family taking full advantage of our great outdoor community; typically skiing, swimming, hiking or mountain biking.

My lifelong joy of movement has taught me to marvel at the capabilities of the human body and I truly believe that every client’s experience is unique. I am devoted to exploring and determining individualized pathways towards optimal healing and sustainable health and wellness. I achieve this by staying current on the latest research which allows me to provide thoughtful, caring and professional assessments followed by effective treatments for each client.

I am very excited to work in the community and I look forward to meeting you!

Massage Therapist Mark Bourcet of Arise Chiropractic and Wellness

Registered Massage Therapist

Mark Bourcet, R.M.T.

Hi everyone, my name is Mark Bourcet. I was born and raised here in Coldstream, BC. I've played sports my whole life, specifically hockey and football. Throughout my sports career, I've had pretty much every injury under the sun, from ankle sprains to ACL tears to concussions.

View Treatments & Availability

After tearing my ACL, I completely retooled how I trained, focusing on mobility and injury prevention. This led to a real passion for human performance and completing a degree in Kinesiology from UBCO. I figured out quickly that research wasn't for me. I needed something more hands-on, and I applied to OVCMT. I completed my RMT training and board exams in 2021. I absolutely love high quality movement and, as Gray Cook said, "Move well, then move often." My primary goal is to use my training and personal experience with injury to help people regain mobility, improve how they move, and hopefully to help them move well for as long as possible.

Whether you're seeking relief from chronic pain, stress reduction, or simply a rejuvenating escape from the demands of daily life, I am committed to providing a therapeutic experience that promotes healing and balance of body, mind, and spirit.

My preferred treatment style is a deep-tissue flow with both active and passive modalities. I like to blend more advanced and specific-to-you therapeutic techniques into the Swedish massage flow to maintain a state of relaxation. My treatments are versatile and customizable to your specific goals.

When I am not in clinic you can be sure to find me exploring the beauty our valley has to offer, whether that be enjoying our lakes, on the top of a mountain, or just chillin in the backyard with the dogs.

My treatments are customizable to your needs. I strongly believe in creating a safe and welcoming space in my treatment room and strive to provide my clients with a supportive experience during every visit.

Registered Reflexology Therapist

The Human body has always fascinated me, from its mobility to its ability to heal. Each part is connected and the systems support each other. It wants to be in balance. This fascination has lead me to become a Reflexology Therapist. Registered with the Reflexology Association of Canada.

Reflexology is the study of reflexes. Reflexes are clusters of nervous tissue located throughout the body, especially in the hand feet and ears. Reflex points are directly connected through the Peripheral Nervous System to specific parts, organs, and glands of the body. Stimulating reflex points relieves tension, improves circulation, and promotes balance to all the systems of the body.

Registered Osteopathic Practitioners

Osteopathy practitioner Cael Dymond of Arise Chiropractic and Wellness

Registered Osteopathic Practitioner

Cael Dymond, M.OMSc

My name is Caelynne Dymond, but you can call me Cael (pronounced like the vegetable). I am so excited to be providing Manual Osteopathic treatments at Arise Wellness! I absolutely love helping people overcome their health concerns and see their bodies through a different lens. The body has a natural ability to self-heal and self-regulate.

View Treatments & Availability

The job of the Osteopath is to facilitate this by removing restrictions in motion so that all arteries, veins, lymphatics and nerves can do their job efficiently, free from obstruction. This positively impacts all systems, leading to a reduction in symptoms, increased energy, and overall better health! To accomplish this, gentle manipulations are used to coax the body back into its natural alignment so the body can perform its best. Osteopathic treatment can help with a wide variety of issues including poor mobility, aches and pains, digestive issues, migraines, and much more.

I hold an Honours Bachelor of Physical and Health Education, as well as a Master in Practice of Osteopathic Manipulative Sciences. During my 4 years of Osteopathic education, I completed 4200 hours of training, including 1000 supervised clinical hours. I am a professional member of Osteopathy Canada (OSTCAN) which is recognized by Canadian insurance companies and covered under most extended health plans.

When I'm not in the clinic, you can find me somewhere outside snowboarding, mountain biking, hiking, finding dogs to pet, or trying to survive in the wilderness. I look forward to helping you get back to you highest quality of life!

Osteopathy practitioner Ben Durie of Arise Chiropractic and Wellness

Registered Osteopathic Practitioner

Ben Durie, BHSc, DOMP

I’m an osteopathic practitioner who is passionate about helping people move with more ease and less pain! I completed a six-year program at the Canadian School of Osteopathy in Vancouver, and I continue to deepen my knowledge through post-graduate studies with leading experts in osteopathy.

View Treatments & Availability

My training has given me tools to support and help balance all systems in the body by working on muscles, bones, organs, nerves, and more!

Before osteopathy, my background was in exercise and health sciences, and I also competed as a national-level figure skater. That experience shaped the way I work today — blending an understanding of performance, recovery, and resilience with a whole-person approach to health. I focus not only on helping reduce or resolve your symptoms, but also on helping you understand what caused them in the first place. Exercise and lifestyle strategies are often part of the treatment plan.

I welcome people of all ages, including newborns and expecting mothers. My goal is for you to leave each session with a deeper connection to self, and take home practical tools to help you stay healthier, naturally.

Outside of the clinic, you’ll usually find me hiking with my pup, skiing (x-country & downhill), or pretending to be a cowboy on my cheeky horse Summer.

I’m a proud member of Osteopathy BC, the leading professional association for osteopathic practitioners in British Columbia.
