Ethan Funk
Graduating from WCCMT in 2020, Ethan uses his strong understanding of human anatomy and physiology to his advantage during treatments.

Whether it’s a first visit or long term patient, he makes sure to listen intently to every individual - ensuring that each treatment is as efficacious as possible.
Ethan spent several years practicing as an RMT in Port Moody and moved to Penticton in 2023 as a way to closely pursue the activities he loves and maintain a balanced lifestyle. In his spare time you’ll find Ethan riding motorcycles, camping, practicing yoga, making electronic music, lifting weights and generally enjoying the outdoors.

Sasha (Alexander) Zhikharev
Sasha is a strong believer in an active lifestyle. From a young age, Sasha has participated in a wide variety of sports and recreational activities which taught him the importance of mind-body connection. This attitude was reinforced by a strong passion for nature and the outdoors. While not in the treatment room, Sasha can be found hiking local mountains, plunging in glacier lakes, carving ski slopes, or playing beach volleyball.
With a background in kinesiology and four years experience as a Group Fitness Instructor, Sasha has developed a strong foundational appreciation for the relationship between movement and overall health. Sasha’s fascination with human anatomy and physiology, combined with an inherent desire to have a positive impact, prompted him to become a Registered Massage Therapist. In April 2020, Sasha graduated from West Coast College of Massage Therapy in New Westminster, BC. In addition to his role as class representative at WCCMT, he also acted as a mentor for students in earlier semesters.
Consistent with the belief that “motion is the lotion”, Sasha’s practice incorporates active techniques alongside traditional passive modalities. Furthermore, Sasha believes in advocating and empowering clients to achieve their goals through establishment of a supportive environment and incorporation of individualized education.
