Bobi McGrath, RMT

Registered Massage Therapist, Clinic Owner

Bobi has practiced Massage Therapy since 2013 after graduating from Okanagan Valley College of Massage Therapy in Vernon BC. She is registered with the College of Complimentary Health Professionals of BC (CCHPBC) and is also a member of the Registered Massage Therapists Association of BC (RMTBC). She opened Ascent Therapy in April 2019.

With involvement in home-based offices, a high-end spa and busy multidisciplinary clinics, she has combined the best of all. Bobi’s experience, compassion and strength create her style that is relaxing, yet deep and effective. She loves a challenge and the opportunity to treat many patients with a variety of conditions.

You can usually find her outside hiking with her camera, dog and cat; or else making her way through the top books of a lifetime. Bobi is proud of being a nerd and is always on the pursuit for knowledge. She is currently enrolled in the Bachelor of Health Sciences program at TRU, with the hopes of continuing on to do research in Massage Therapy. Her passion of education led her to a teaching role for future RMT's at First College Kelowna. She loves to answer any questions you can think of about massage or the human body.

Shelby Currie, RMT

Registered Massage Therapist

Shelby graduated from OVCMT's two year program in late 2018 and registered with both CCHPBC and RMTBC as soon as the opportunity came available to her in spring 2019. Since then she has continued to hone her craft working with a variety of ailments - from motor vehicle accidents, sports and overuse injuries to postural improvements and pain management.

As an enthusiastic equestrian who lives on and manages a small farm, Shelby oftentimes does two things at once, even in treatment. Do expect part of your massage to be continuing some interview and assessment questions. This is not meant to distract from a relaxing massage, but to further understand your lifestyle, goals and better understand how best to meet them. Also unique about Shelby is her own relationship with chronic illness, as someone living with MS, she very much understands the difficulties and unpredictable nature of these disorders. You will find she is a little extra careful to reduce exposure to illness of any kind, and as such does have a mask policy and will not bring in clients who are sick.

When not at the office Shelby is usually riding horses, training her dog, caring for chickens or maybe just chilling on the couch with her husband. She has a lifelong love of music, reading and movies as well as an inherited passion for automotives.

James Sreblowski, RMT, Bkin

Registered Massage Therapist, Manual Osteopathic Therapist

James' goal is to make a meaningful, lasting difference. He believes in treating the whole person; to this effect, James will seek to achieve balance in your: spine and pelvis, fascial network, craniosacral system, organ function, and nervous system function. James enjoys unravelling the convoluted process that is dysfunction, understanding that the presentation of pain and altered function is often found distant to the primary cause. He enjoys addressing, often under explored, aspects of visceral (organ) and craniosacral manipulation as mediums to restore health. You'll come away from treatment with an understanding of not just the what but also the where, the when, the why, and the how.

His passion was discovered during Kinesiology studies at Brock University. It was after he achieved his Bachelor in Kinesiology that he enrolled in the Massage Therapy program at Sutherland-Chan Teaching School and Clinic. More recently, James has completed his Manual Osteopathic Therapy studies through the Manual Osteopathic College of Canada.

You can find James outside on the mountain tops with either a pair of hiking boots or a harness and rope. Elsewise, he'll likely be passed out in his hammock with a book on his chest, his Great Dane Simba by his side, and his lovely Fiancée Danyelle close by. James invites you to explore his pursuit of understanding the human body and all of its beautiful intricacies.
