Vicki Bell fell in love with Dunbar the moment she first visited the neighbourhood 14 years ago. When the affable massage therapist contemplated business ownership she knew this was the perfect location for Massage Therapy on Dunbar.
Vicki and her husband Dion Bell left their hometown of Prince Rupert in 2000 to pursue career changes. Vicki was accepted to attend the well-respected West Coast College of Massage Therapy. She was aware massage therapists were in high demand and was excited to move to the big city with its bright lights and endless urban opportunities. After graduating, Vicki was hired as a massage therapist at a clinic in Dunbar where she worked until she decided to venture out on her own in 2011 to open Massage Therapy on Dunbar. Vicki had become smitten with this charming and quiet community and felt like she had come full circle, in a good way. She remarks, “I loved the homey feeling of seeing people walking down the street, making eye contact and saying hello.� Decorated in neutral shades of white and taupe with wood wall panels and floral artwork, along with dimmed lighting and soft music, a tranquil atmosphere is created for clients to wind down.
