My choice to speak up in hopes to be heard. To have a strong stance against the systemic perpetuated abuse of Healthcare workers and their patients. The purpose always being to protect the abused against multiple levels of regulatory bodies and associations.
Instead, I suffered 10+ years of abuse, extortion, defamation, and vicious attacks.
My medical licenses were removed because I tried to expose a deeply protected, sexual predator group and financial fraud within the healthcare system in BC. The Health Minister, the Premier, the Public Safety Minister, the RCMP, etc were made aware of crimes being committed but chose to burry bury me instead of upholding our laws and protecting Canadians. Instead, they chose to provide preferential treatment and immunity to the regulators, including people who are in positions of power.
The Provincial Government deemed it necessary to block my access to public and private Governmental/professional Social media. The Media in BC refused to acknowledge any report of sexual misconduct or criminal acts being committed.
The media has been directly informed (multiple times) that the information they are publishing is factually wrong, while at the same time refusing to accept evidence that exposes criminality in Healthcare. Media outlets like the CBC, Maple Ridge News, Global, TSN, etc, have shown zero willingness to publish the truth. These ‘Trusted’ members of the media have been complicit in perpetuating defamation and eroding the public’s trust in Healthcare by ONLY publishing stories about males accused of professional misconduct in Massage Therapy.
The people committing gross acts of sexual assault and workplace violence have been protected by their peers and the media. They have chosen to be complicit and condone criminal acts due to the fear of negatively impacting their professional and personal lives.
The mainstream media, police, and many government agencies have blatantly decided to ignore instances of sexual assault, racism, and gender-based hate. They allowed themselves to be manipulated by bias, which is an indictment against their values, ethics and humanity.
The Massage Regulators in BC has ignored all attempts at exposing sexual misconduct (rape, assault, sexualizing minors), racism, financial fraud, and information theft by their members. As a result, the messaging from their words and actions is that these illegal acts are not only not taken seriously but are condoned - which means that it is completely acceptable not to report these crimes when the law clearly states that it is mandatory to do so.
It is every medical professional’s obligation, by LAW, to report these crimes. It has been, however, deemed unprofessional conduct to report registrants guilty of sexual and professional misconduct that also work for the Professional Association and the Regulatory College.
By speaking up and doing my part not only due to legal obligations but also my own moral code, I have been publicly and professionally defamed, slandered, and ruined my reputation on all public platforms. My demise as a result of acting in good faith triggered a warning to other healthcare professionals to never speak out.
Since 2010, I have been approached by victims of workplace violence (medical professionals and patients) who have disclosed horrific experiences with healthcare registrants, the appointed representatives of the regulatory colleges, and associations. These victims have been threatened, extorted, and subsequently re-victimized without any recourse or any guilty party being identified and without any penalty being imposed.
I have endured the same violent sexual abuse as a practicing RMT. I was repeatedly threatened and extorted.
The abuses were not confined to my private practice clinic. The abuse stretched over many years and involved sexualizing my student life and later my teaching environment at West Coast College of Massage Therapy. Multiple Regulatory College members and professional association members were involved.
I witnessed a Massage Association sponsored teacher sexually assault a female student (RMT) in front of an entire class. When I reported this to the Massage Association I was threatened and promised further professional punishment if I continued down that path. Later, the teacher responsible for the assault was publicly disciplined and lost his license. Although that was years after, many more healthcare professionals and civilians were sexually assaulted.
Reporting that therapist’s sexual assault had a cascading effect of years of punishment aimed squarely at me by the Massage Association and the Regulatory College.
The Regulatory College and the Association members were using ‘New Grad’ orientation seminars, hosted by Massage Schools, to identify and target new victims. Shielded by corruption in the Victim Services adjacent to Policing.
I was then sexually assaulted and extorted with the threat of false and misleading complaints to the regulatory college if I did not participate and cooperate in the crimes being committed by the massage regulator and association.
The position I held at Rugby Canada included access to our country’s best rugby athletes, personnel, finances, and reputation. Part of my responsibility in that position was to prevent known predators from being hired by Rugby Canada who can then freely access the above-mentioned country’s assets. Secondly, my access to numerous professional and Olympic sports and their athletes - targeting their funding, reputation and personal wealth associated with them.
As a result of me acting in good faith, I was sexually assaulted and extorted with the threat of false and misleading complaints to the regulatory college, if I did not participate and cooperate in the crimes being committed by the massage regulators and the association.
The primary driving motivation for infiltrating this sport was because of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. Numerous RMT’s were snubbed, diminished, and hurt that they were not hired to treat high level athletes, and many received a devastating blow to their egos. Some therapists were openly angry about being relegated to treat the Special Olympics athletes.
When interested parties were made aware of a male therapist (me) being put in charge of hiring RMT’s for major international events (and for the visiting countries), the Massage Regulator and Association used the anti-male legislation already in practice to easily remove me, ruin my career, and insert more cooperative registrants.
The legislation mentioned states that the regulatory colleges were to focus solely on male sexual misconduct in BC. Leaving 80% of the profession without being regulated or supervised. The threshold for removing a male therapist’s license being that someone has held a “Feeling” – not based on a factual, evidence-based circumstance that occurred] that a factual, proven thing has happened. Once again, a registered health professional can be removed from essential medical services based on our provincial feelings police. Which is illegal under BC law. This proves that a registered health professional can be removed from essential medical services based on a hunch or a feeling, which is illegal under provincial BC laws.
It was disclosed to me through confidential sources that Rugby Canada aligned themselves with these abusers to maintain low-cost medical services for their athletes and visiting teams. Based on this information, it appears that Rugby Canada is actively choosing to participate in corrupt practices, therefore, no athlete participating in any level of competition should be trusted or be alone with Rugby Canada members or their medical staff at this time. Choosing to cooperate with corruption. No athlete participating in any level of competition should trust or be alone with Rugby Canada members or their medical staff at this time.
“This article focusing on the vacant Men's Coaching Position at Rugby Canada was published on leading website RugbyPass then deleted without word. Can nobody talk about the problems in Canadian Rugby without being censored or cancelled?”
“[Update] RugbyPass has deleted the original article as of Dec 19th, it was published Dec 18th. It is likely someone at Rugby Canada with influence at World Rugby, the owner of Rugbypass, made a complaint.”
“World Rugby to Rugby Pass, “mate, scrub the Cudmore article, doesn’t make us look good”.
It shows Aboud’s (Rugby Canada’s High Performance Director) way of working, in secret, not transparent, he doesn’t really care what the community thinks..”

In 2021, after numerous sporting bodies had their ‘Capable Guardians’removed, the next phase of corruption began. The era of “Feelings” being taken as more credible than “Facts”. An immense problem afflicting BC’s medical regulatory complaint processes. Seeing hundreds of knowingly false complaints being supported because someone deceptively “Felt” that something was true.
“captain Ghislaine Landry, the women say their complaint "explained the psychological abuse, harassment and/or bullying these athletes FEEL they were subjected to in the centralized training environment." – April 28, 2021.
Both the Canadian and USA National Sport bodies have been very resistant to protecting their athletes from workplace violence. In Jan of 2019 I initiated my whistleblower complaints to numerous governmental bodies. All submissions were buried in governmental corruption and inaction.
In February of 2019 Dr. Bill Moreau, previously the Vice President of Sports Medicine for the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC), filed a whistleblower lawsuit against the USOPC stating “ he was fired by the organization after he questioned the way top executives handled reports of sexual abuse and mental health concerns”.
The worst offender named in his lawsuit is Dr. Larry Nassar. Who is currently serving a 40-175 year sentence for multiple sex crimes.
“Why won't people engage?" he asked then, and now. "Why won't people listen? Why won't they do the right thing when it's so clear the path to take? And also, it's not that hard. It wasn't that big a lift. But they wouldn't even try. I just couldn't understand it. Still don't." – Dr.Bill Moreau

My family and I have been wrongfully punished for doing every thing in our power to prevent and/or workplace violence. My family and I have been wrongfully punished for doing everything in our power to prevent workplace violence that includes sexual and professional misconduct. We have endured a decade of false accusations, victim shaming, and malicious use of the Regulatory Complaint system. This has inflicted a severe financial, physical, and emotional cost.
In 2019, a formal complaint against a regulatory and association member was filed with the Massage Regulator. The complaint was dismissed immediately due to the accused persons being employed by the Regulator. They were quick to disclose that they legally can not handle any complaints against themselves.. Professional misconduct complaints were filed against a College investigator. That investigator was then assigned to investigate the complaint filed against him. That investigator then heard and refused to enter evidence into the investigation report stating that the RMT mentioned above had in fact committed sexual assault and extortion. This was witnessed by additional parties.
The Massage Association’s executive and insurance liaison having been the subject of the sexual misconduct complaint had identified numerous cooperators in sexual misconduct, financial fraud, etc. This led to a mass removal of male RMT’s from their insurance plan. A protective measure to prevent disclosure from those who were abused and/or had knowledge of their involvement in criminal activity.
The Massage Association (Executive Director, President, Vice President) stated in an email that if they receive a complaint about the misconduct of an Association member (sexual misconduct, financial fraud, racism, workplace violence, etc), that they will not adhere to Canadian Law and follow their mandatory obligation to report that person to their Regulatory body, Government, or the Police.
Further complaints were filed with the Massage Regulator to identify financial fraud and criminal activity present in the association. The complaints were dismissed prior to investigation for undisclosed reasons.
Both ICBC and Pacific Bluecross were named by the guilty party as co-conspirators to sexual assault and financial fraud. Detailing planned financial hardship for their victims.
A complaint was filed with the Physio College regarding a physio that was guilty of workplace violence and co-conspiring. The complaint detailed lewd sexual conversations about anal sex and other sexual preferences between multiple RMT’s and the clinic co-owner in proximity to patients receiving treatment. Secondly that there was a cooperation with infiltrating Rugby Canada and cooperating with sexual assault, extortion, and information theft. The Physio College Director of Discipline was named as a conspirator by the guilty RMT party. The complaint against the physio was dismissed as being ‘not a serious matter’ once the physio stated he had plans of running for the Physio Board.
Privacy complaints were filed with the Privacy Commission of BC pertaining to the events mentioned above. The privacy commission stated that they would not accept ‘evidence’ in their proceedings. Dismissing the complaints without investigation.
Additional complaints were filed with the Privacy Commission regarding the stolen medical information of Rugby Canada staff/ Team Members by the guilty parties mentioned above. The Commission buried these complaints and has not addressed them 5 years after accepting the complaint.
A complaint was filed with the BC Law Society regarding the Professional Misconduct of the Massage Regulator. The complaint was dismissed prior to any investigation. The Legal Regulator being quick to state that they do not regulate their lawyers when working in a Provincial Regulatory position.
A member of the Maple Ridge Fire Department (a medical professional) committed professional misconduct by sexualizing a patient I was actively treating. A complaint was filed to the City of Maple Ridge but was intercepted by a city employee who was in conflict of interest. The Maple Ridge Fire Chief then proceeded to threaten and intimidate me while admitting that his member had committed misconduct. He demanded that I release the identity of the patient to him. When I refused, it left the City of Maple Ridge open to legal suit and liable.
A complaint was filed to the RCMP regarding the sexualized misconduct. The complaint was immediately dismissed and I was informed by the officer that the RCMP do not investigate the Fire services in any regard. They have immunity.
It is worth mentioning that multiple confidential disclosures were made to me regarding the City of Maple Ridge’s and the RCMP’s conflict of interest in this matter. There was an unfinished contract surrounding the city paying for the detachment’s wages. The RCMP refused to create any political waves that might affect the livelihood of their members. There were efforts made to conceal misconduct made by the City of Maple Ridge so that RCMP members could maintain a salary.
At this point there were many complaints and pending legal actions against the Massage Regulator. The regulator purposely shut down the profession in 2020 which harmed the finances of those abused RMT’s so that maintaining legal representation against the college would be significantly affected.
A few months later the false complaint was filed to Massage College that would later remove my license. The complainant admitted to filing a false complaint to the Regulatory College. This is a criminal offence (Public Mischief). The Maple Ridge RCMP were contacted about the malicious attack. The RCMP officer openly stated that only women were allowed to file complaints with the RCMP. I was then immediately threatened and told that I would face reprisal for voicing any argument in opposition.
The RCMP then communicated with the Massage College and produced false and misleading evidence that was relied upon in the Disciplinary hearing that took my medical licenses.
A complaint was filed to the Dental Hygienist College regarding workplace violence and criminal Public Mischief. The Director of that college dismissed my complaint because the profession of Dental Hygiene would not accept complaints from another health professional if that health professional had been in their profession longer than the registrant they were complaining about. This decision was later upheld by the current and newly amalgamated, government appointed, College of Oral Health Professions.
A complaint was filed to the Human Rights Tribunal. They very slowly dismissed this complaint, without investigation, after stating that they do not handle complaints relating to healthcare and/or Regulatory bodies.
ICBC commissioned a multi-person committee to extort me for personal and medical information pertaining to the Disciplinary hearing. ICBC was specifically worried about the details of this case. I know from first hand experience that ICBC and their co-conspirators did not want the public to know details of the complaint. My vendor account was removed from ICBC and my access to treat ICBC patients was revoked when I refused to illegally disclose “All” details pertaining to the Disciplinary Hearing prior to it commencing.
ICBC had an invested interest in removing my access to patients and causing financial harm. Documented fraud and workplace abuse by ICBC was brought forward multiple times. ICBC’s adjusters were caught giving medical advice to my patients after openly slandering and diminishing the care my patients were receiving. One adjuster felt that because he was a WhiteCaps captain (decades ago), and a personal trainer, that he was more qualified to give medical advice than a regulated health professional. A patient’s treatments were withheld until that patient agreed to follow the medical advice of the WhiteCaps Captain.
ICBC was made aware of clinics engaging in financial fraud related to ICBC funded treatments. Clinics and therapists billing for appointments that did not take place and adjusters that were approving treatment extensions without question. I was aggressively yelled at and threatened by ICBC in hopes to stop disclosure. ICBC withheld payment for treatments for up to 4 months over a 2 year period.
The corruption didn’t stop at professional boundaries. My vehicle was hit by a motorcycle while I was stopped at an intersection. When claiming for damages and repairs, ICBC aggressively accused me of lying and producing a fraudulent insurance claim. There were literal photos the incident occurring. When threatening legal action against ICBC because of her misconduct, I was called by an ICBC lawyer and informed that the ICBC adjuster in question had spontaneously retired and that if I pursued the matter there would be consequences for me personally and professionally.
The Health Minister, the Public Safety Minister, the Premier, etc were contacted to disclose the corruption present in multiple levels of publicly funded organizations. These elected officials then refused to acknowledge or respond to me for 2 years. Their response being that they were powerless in doing any meaningful change.
BC’s government, the RCMP, the City of Maple Ridge and the sexual predators, sat back and watched the Massage Regulator demand and receive the most extreme and heavy handed punishment available.
What was the misconduct recorded by the college? The college admitted to sending confidential investigation evidence through the mail without any privacy protection. My license was removed because the College violated BC’s Privacy Laws.
Any comments about unfair treatment in BC’s Court system are being withheld under duress. Any comment made in a negative light about the conduct of the lawyers or judges there in, is without question met with punitive consequences.
The BC Premier has openly stated that the BC Law Society, tasked with regulating lawyers, has chosen to act in the lawyer’s best interests instead of the public’s. The Law Society going so far as to say that lawyers MUST act outside of the law. The Law Society is slated for the same firing processes as the newly amalgamated health colleges.
When the public demanded that my medical licenses be reinstated, the Massage Regulators purposely shelved the license reinstatement request. This allowed a time period to elapse that prevented my reinstatement and mandatorily required me to re-do my provincial license exams , ensuring that I will never return to work.
The Emergency Medical Assistants Licensing Board supported this punishment for speaking out against rape, sexual assault, etc. Stating that I would not be able to obtain licensing until the imposed punishment given by the Massage Regulator was served. Now that this is an impossibility. I am permanently unable to practice or be licensed in Emergency Medicine.
As of November 24th 2024, my medical licensing was stolen. It is now illegal for me to use any information or skill associated with the use of my Registered Massage Therapy and First Responder/Emergency Medical Responder licensing, according to legal precedents. The Regulator was quick to state that whether you have a valid license or not, you are forever a registrant of the health colleges. You are always an On Duty Health Registrant. The Province of BC has permanent control over every aspect of your life.
The Massage Regulator was very clear that any communication with the public (on any communication medium) is now censored by them. No communication regarding political views or support for one political party over another is allowed.
The Massage Regulator made it clear that advising any person, regarding anything remotely tied to healthcare, will be considered professional misconduct while not being an Active Registrant.
A Healthcare Registrant had their license removed for telling a friend how to eat soup. It was communicated to me that if I chose to provide my children or family with any actions that resemble providing healthcare, or the skills used to provide healthcare, or the knowledge and terminology pertaining to healthcare, that I will be end up in court again.
This abuse of power by the Regulators in BC directly states that I cannot be active in parenting my own children. This is largely due to the overlapping skills and knowledge used to raise a family, when taking into account a registrant is never “off-duty”.
There is considerable evidence to substantiate the Regulator’s sympathetic stance towards harming underage humans. It was become clear that they would prefer my children’s Capable Guardian to be absent.

Over 1800 people signed a petition to allow me to return to work and to demand that government earn their pay cheques by actually creating checks and balances that PROTECT vulnerable Canadians. Every elected Government official that has been informed of this issue, refuses to acknowledge it. The minimum threshold is 500 signatures. We know that in BC our trusted professionals tasked with maintaining healthcare have not been regulated and BC’s standard of care has been abysmal.
It is up to you, the public, to save my life and the lives of other abused victims.
Help me return to work please!
“There are two kinds of dangers. One is what I just talked about. That we’ve arranged a society based on science and technology in which nobody understands anything about science and technology. And this combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later is going to blow up in our faces. Who is running the science and technology in a democracy if the people don’t know anything about it?
And the second reason I’m worried about this is that science is more than a body of knowledge. It’s a way of thinking, a way of skeptically interrogating the universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility. If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then we’re up for grabs for the next charlatan, (political or religious) who comes ambling along. It’s a thing that Jefferson laid great stress on. It wasn’t enough he said to enshrine some Rights in a constitution or Bill of Rights. The people had to be educated and they had to practice their skepticism and education. Otherwise we don’t run the government, the government runs us.” - Carl Sagan
