Paula Thiessen

Certified Reflexologist

My journey into Reflexology began when I started having health issues. After I had been mis-diagnosed several times, I sought out natural remedies to get to the root cause of these ailments. This eventually led me to find my true calling of helping people to heal naturally.

I love practicing Reflexology and am inspired by the results I’ve seen with my clients and their improved well being over the years.

I have had success working with clients suffering from arthritic pain, anxiety, sleep issues, digestive problems and migraines, to name a few. This treatment offers an excellent drug-free alternative to relieve tension, minimize pain and accelerate the healing process. I enjoy helping my clients to maintain their overall wellness and cope with everyday stress. I have a gentle approach and my priority is your comfort level and enjoyment. My main goal is for every client to experience the Parasympathetic state of ‘Rest & Repair’ and to walk away feeling relaxed, refreshed & rejuvenated.

In 2009 I studied and received my Certification for Reflexology in Richmond, BC through the Reflexology Association of Canada (RAC). I’ve also trained with The Ancient Academy of Reflexology, based in Florida and The Canadian Reflexology School in Victoria, BC.

Podcast Interviews with Paula

Don’t take my word for it, here’s what my clients are saying:

  • “Paula is amazing!!! I remember being diagnosed with high prolactin and a tumour, I also had fertility issues. Being told by doctors and specialists that I may never have kids. After ten reflexology sessions my cycle started again (without needing my prescription)! Not long after I had my first baby. I’m lucky I have two. When I told my Endocrinologist I was having reflexology he told me that it was a HUGE factor to being able to be a Mom. Paula you are such a beautiful soul. The most caring person, you do your job with love and compassion. I’m so blessed to have you in my life.”

    Shannon Gamberg

  • Paula is wonderful! I came in with nerve issues in my feet. I didn’t realize what a difference Reflexology would make. I felt so much RELIEF! The entire experience was so soothing and therapeutic. Another amazing part is that Sole Focus Reflexology is mobile as well, so when I was going through chemo she would come to me and the experience was incredible. I would highly recommend Paula, to to give Reflexology a try!

    Jeanette C.

  • “Meeting Paula has definitely been an integral part of my wellness journey! She has a true gift of healing and has created such a loving, safe and comfortable area to work out of. The revitalization package she has put together is simply amazing! My whole body felt lighter after and for days later. I’ve never been to a spa before but how I felt at the end of the session is what I always imagined a spa experience to feel like! Totally relaxed and rejuvenated! I highly recommend Paula, even to try 1 session with her. You won’t be disappointed!”

    Gwyneth A.

  • “I highly recommend Paula! She really does go above and beyond to make her clients feel comfortable. I find it hard to relax at the best of times, however Paula literally has me falling asleep in her chair! I have tried other reflexology places and have only had painful experiences. I have no idea how she manages to find the source of the pain and work it away quickly while keeping me totally relaxed! Paula’s hours are super convenient making it easy to find a time that works with my schedule. She really is amazing.”

    Heike Morton

  • Following a car accident, I was suffering from pain in the neck and lower back as well as restricted movement. Paula took the time to explain Reflexology and the treatment involved. After the first appointment, my pain had virtually disappeared and my movements were back to normal, which was amazing as after several months of the more "conventional" treatments (RMT & Chiropractor) I had not seen any significant long term results. Paula is extremely welcoming, professional and courteous.

    Del S.

  • “The atmosphere is very relaxing at Sole Focus Reflexology. I’ve found that the sessions have improved my joint pains and stiffness from Rheumatoid Arthritis. Paula is very professional and have found her to be the best Reflexologist I have used. She’s a keeper!”

    Lynne G.

  • “Paula was volunteering at Sardis Doorway where I had a mini session & afterwards had an amazing sleep without a sleeping pill (a miracle for me)!!!! Thank you so much for giving all of us time in your chair. I will tell everyone about Sole Focus because of how much you helped me!”

    R.M

  • I’ve been coming to Sole Focus Reflexology since April 2023. My sessions have helped me as I work on my anxiety, stress and overall relaxation. I appreciate Paula’s kind, confident approach and her ability to create a safe and relaxing atmosphere, She is committed to her work and her clients, and I look forward to every session! I am truly grateful for what Reflexology and Paula has brought to my overall health and wellness. As I say at the end of every session.
