Meet the Massage Therapists at
Thrive Chiropractic & Wellness Centre
Cori Van Uffelen – RMT
Cori recently joined the Thrive team after completing the 2200-Hour program at the Alberta College of Massage Therapy!
Cori’s interest in massage therapy began when she attended the University of Calgary and played for their softball team while obtaining her Bachelor’s Degree in Anthropology. Massage therapy became an instrumental part in Cori’s ability to maintain her wellbeing as a student and athlete, and always aided in her return to play!
Cori is passionate about her practice, and holds a strong desire to help others rehabilitate and recover from injury, maintain their overall wellbeing and elevate their quality of life!
Cori is always eager to learn and is actively continuing her education, developing her practice, expanding her modalities and incorporating new techniques into her treatments.
Cori specializes in:
- Therapeutic massage
- Deep tissue work
- Sports massage
In her free time, Cori takes every opportunity to stay active and explore her creativity, working with her hands to paint, sew, work with resin, and sculpt… she loves to try everything at least once!

Samantha Walter-Bobula – RMT
Samantha graduated from CDI College in June 2015 and has been devoted to helping her clients find relief through therapeutic massage ever since. She specializes in treating a variety of conditions, including jaw, neck, headaches, lower/upper back, and hip pain. Samantha prefers to describe her approach as “therapeutic” rather than “deep tissue” because she believes in working within each client’s pain tolerance, ensuring they experience relief without unnecessary discomfort.
She knew she wanted to be a massage therapist since she was just 5 years old, driven by a passion for helping others and a deep desire to heal. Samantha is particularly dedicated to her clients’ well-being, and nothing brings her more joy than helping them feel better, recover from pain, and maintain their overall health.
Beyond her professional life, Samantha is a proud mom to three beautiful girls. Balancing her career and motherhood, she approaches both with the same dedication and love. For her, being a massage therapist isn’t just a job—it’s a calling that she genuinely enjoys, making every day at work a rewarding experience. Open to ages 5 and up as well as prenatal.
