BIOGRAPHY OF MISHAL RIJAL - ST. REGIS HOTEL’S MASSAGE HOLISTIC PRACTITIONER
Mishal Rijal is the St. Regis Hotel’s on-site massage holistic practitioner. With expertise and certification in four different massage techniques, Mishal is able to work with clients to develop a massage approach specific to their needs, whether it’s a gentle release of daily stress, recovery from hard exertion, or relieving pain from chronic conditions.
Born in Nepal, Mishal was drawn to the field of healing and therapy through massage. When he left Nepal to live in Dubai, he immediately began laying the groundwork of education and training needed to develop his own distinct approach to massage.
While studying English through the British Consulate, he trained for and received his first diploma in Massage, Anatomy & Physiology. Seeking to broaden his training and understanding, he travelled to Thailand where he trained and mastered Traditional Thai massage techniques through the Phussapa Thai Massage School. Upon returning to Dubai, he sought further training and certification in Balinese and Hot Stone massage techniques.
Despite long-term employment offers from some of the finest resorts in Dubai, Mishal decided to pursue his dream of moving to Canada. While he was working through the immigration process, he took a one-year contract to work in the spa at the elite Radisson SAS hotel in Dubai. In a short time, he built a loyal following including several members of Royal Families in Europe and Asia and when he left, he took with him letters of thanks and commendation from clients along with a bronze medal of achievement for his contribution to the Spa at the Radisson SAS.
With immigration papers in hand, Mishal moved to Montreal and opened up his own clinic having been certified in massage therapy by the Natural Health Practitioners of Canada. After 5 successful years of practice, homesickness pulled him back to Dubai for an extended visit and upon returning to Canada, he chose Vancouver as his destination.
