Art Kostonyan

Art Kostonyan

Registered Massage Therapist (RMT)

Hello! I became a Registered Massage Therapist because I believe in the power of therapeutic touch to create lasting change in both body and mind. I completed my 3000-hour Advanced Clinical Massage Therapy program at MaKami College, where I developed a strong foundation in anatomy, biomechanics, and evidence-based treatment techniques.

My approach is focused on precision and technique, especially in deep tissue and therapeutic massage, to help clients relieve tension, chronic pain, and stress. I customize each session to support injury recovery, improve mobility, or promote overall relaxation. My goal is to provide results-driven treatments that not only ease discomfort but also enhance movement and restore balance.

Outside of work, I enjoy playing racquetball, board games, and spending time with my two sons, who keep me active and on my toes! I believe in the importance of movement, relaxation, and fun in everyday life, and I bring that same balanced approach to my massage practice.

I look forward to helping you feel your best.

Camryn Butz

Camryn Butz

Registered Massage Therapist (RMT)

Hi! I’m Camryn. I’ve been a massage therapist since 2023 and have always been drawn to anatomy, movement, and the way the body works. I love combining therapeutic massage with movement and stretching to help clients find relief, move more efficiently, and feel their best. Whether you’re looking for deep tissue work to target stubborn tension or a relaxing treatment to unwind and recharge, I enjoy tailoring each session to what your body needs most that day. I value client education and believe healing doesn’t stop when you leave the table, which is why I send clients home with exercises and stretches to continue improving between sessions.

When I’m not in the treatment room, you’ll usually find me hiking, skiing, or camping in the mountains, or at home on my acreage with my fiancé and our crew of dogs, cats, and chickens. I also love yoga, running, making sourdough, knitting, trying new hobbies, and spending quality time with friends and family.

I can’t wait to welcome you onto my table!
