Graham McGee - Owner
Graham McGee knows firsthand the challenges you may be facing. Diagnosed with Scheuermann's Kyphosis, a back condition, at the age of 12, he embarked on a long and arduous journey seeking conventional care methods. Wearing a back brace for 23 hours a day during high school and exploring various treatments into his mid-20s, Graham found himself contemplating spine surgery as the only solution.
However, just one week before the scheduled surgery, Graham's intuition guided him in a different direction. He made the life-changing decision to connect with his birth father, Carl Smith, a certified Rolfer at V.I. Pain Clinic, on Vancouver Island. This meeting not only improved Graham's back condition but also deepened his bond with his father. Inspired by the positive transformation, Graham felt drawn to explore massage therapy himself. Recognizing his natural talent for touch and healing, Carl provided Graham with anatomy books, and together they began practicing structural integration techniques. With each session, Graham's innate skills became more apparent. As a lifelong musician, he possesses a unique intuition and rhythm, complemented by a compassionate touch, making him a natural healer.
Graham realized his journey had a greater purpose, with a higher sense of direction leading him to a career in massage therapy. He embraced this calling, taking the bold step of leaving his eight-year warehouse job at London Drugs to pursue a new path. Relocating to Vancouver Island, he immersed himself even further in the world of bodywork. Soon, Graham became a full-time practitioner and business partner at V.I. Pain Clinic, where he worked alongside his father. For six years, they could be found serving clients at the clinic and operating their booth at the Cedar Farmers Market during the summer months.
Today, Graham is the proud owner of Purple Heart Massage, nestled among the picturesque mountains of Hope, BC. He shares his life with his wife and dogs, finding solace in nature and pursuing his lifelong passions of hiking and creating music when he is not attending to his clients. Graham's personal journey of healing has equipped him with a profound understanding and empathy, driving his dedication to help others find their own paths to well-being and self-discovery. At Purple Heart Massage, Graham welcomes you to experience his transformative touch and embark on a healing journey of your own.
