The story of Fort Trail Wellness Group began long before the doors to our clinic opened.
Our friendship started in high school, 2001, and over the years, our lives have followed remarkably similar paths. We both discovered a passion for the culinary arts, attended the same culinary college, and eventually found ourselves working side by side at the same small-town café. At one point, we even dreamed of opening a little café of our own in White Rock.
Although that particular path never came to fruition, the idea of building something together never quite left our minds.
Life eventually led us both in a new direction. After experiencing separate accidents — a snowboarding accident for Sylvia and a car accident for Erynn — we each discovered massage therapy through our own experiences with injury and recovery. What began as a personal introduction to the profession, grew into a shared passion for helping others. After years of creating with our hands in the kitchen, we found a new way to put those hands to work, this time supporting the health and well-being of others.
Along the way, we became proud moms to daughters. So, we understand the importance of leading by example and supporting one another. We also wanted to show our kids that dreams don’t have an expiration date. That with hard work, determination, and the courage to take a chance on yourself, the things you once imagined can become reality.
When we decided to open Fort Trail Wellness Group, we wanted more than simply a place to practise. We wanted independence. The freedom to build something that reflected our values, our vision, and the kind of environment we believed in. Most importantly, we wanted to create something that was women owned and truly ours.
As Langley residents, we’ve always felt a special connection to Fort Langley. Its small-town charm, rich history, and close-knit community reflect so much of what we value. When the opportunity came to establish our clinic, it felt like the perfect place to put down roots.
Fort Trail Wellness Group is more than a business to us. It’s the realization of a dream, the product of years of friendship, and something we’re incredibly proud to call our own.
We’ve created a space grounded in genuine care, meaningful connections, and a commitment to the community we’re fortunate to be part of.
Welcome to Fort Trail Wellness Group.
