Westwood Masseuse is now permanently closed as Farnaz Farrokhi-Holmes has transitioned into her full-time clinical counselling practice.
After completing her Master’s in Counselling Psychology in April 2025, she became a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC).
Farnaz offers trauma-informed counselling in Nanaimo and virtual therapy across British Columbia and Canada-wide. She meets people at the intersection of trauma, grief, and loss, supporting those navigating anxiety, burnout, ADHD, relationship challenges, and life transitions—including high-conflict divorce and co-parenting.
With both lived and professional experience—including growing up in a war-affected environment and working in high-pressure roles across public safety, crisis response, and government—Farnaz understands the impact of trauma in high-demand, trauma-exposed professions. She works with military members, veterans, first responders, and other helping professionals, and is an Occupationally Aware Healthcare Provider trained through Wounded Warriors Canada and First Responder Health.

Farnaz extends her sincere gratitude to all clients who supported her vision of integrating somatic massage as a pathway to nervous system regulation and healing. Your trust and presence have been a meaningful part of this evolution.
