Anna Wong was born and raised in Vancouver. She has been living in the Tri-Cities since 1996. Prior to becoming a massage therapist, Anna trained and worked in optics: fitting eyewear and contact lenses. In 1990 and 1991, a major car accident and then a serious bike accident respectively, introduced Anna to chiropractic, physio and massage care. Many factors including the sale of the store she was managing and her own personal rehabilitation journey, inspired Anna to pursue Massage Therapy as a profession. Anna completed her training at the West Coast College of Massage Therapy in 1995. In 1997, she was able to partner with two other massage therapists to buy the South Burnaby Massage Therapy Clinic. Currently, Anna still works in Burnaby, but she is excited to join the team at Eagle Ridge Physiotherapy. The 10-minute commute from her home in Port Coquitlam will allow her to indulge in her hobbies and interests which includes puzzles, cooking and her two children.
