When Gabriela was in high school in Austria, she knew the career she wanted: massage therapy. But her parents knew better, so she went to university for an education degree. Years later in Canada, she changed careers. She graduated from Vicars in 2014 and began a successful and satisfying massage therapy practice. 

Gabriela most enjoys working with clients with specific issues requiring careful assessments and an effective treatment plan that can include guided home care and referrals to other health professionals. Even as she was training as an RMT, though, she dreamed of being able to combine her two careers: teaching and massage therapy. She was delighted to be able to rejoin the Vicars family as an instructor in 2019.
