About Me
I am an Honours Graduate from the Massage Therapy Program at Georgian College and a Registered Massage Therapist with College of Massage Therapists of Ontario (CMTO) and Member of Good standing with the Registered Massage Therapists of Ontario (RMTAO).
COVID-19
As per our College; CMTO,
At this time the CMTO has determined that all RMT offices be closed to NON-ESSENTIAL TREATMENT. If it is deemed your treatment is essential, the office will be open to you and extra precautions are in place due to the novel COVID-19 virus outbreak, to protect the safety of my clientele and my family.
In order to protect everyone during this period of flattening the virus curve, as per the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario, World Health Organization and Ontario and Canadian Health, HEIGHTENED PROTOCOLS ARE IN PLACE.
if you have a FEVER and/or new onset of cough or difficulty breathing, If you have travelled abroad and have returned in the past 14 days or less, have been in close contact with a traveller that has returned in 14 days or less, have been in close contact with a person with acute respiratory illness who has been to a COVID-19 impacted area, please ensure you follow the self-isolation protocols and please call your medical health provider, telehealth or 811 for further information and please reschedule your appointment.
During this time I am NOT accepting any new clientele outside of direct referrals from colleagues you are currently seeing and require me for additional treatment alongside the treatment plan, or must be referred by an existing client, family or close friend. My apologies for any inconvenience but I must keep traffic flow low at this time to protect my existing clientele.
Please note that Updates may occur frequently regarding this situation.
Thank you so much for for supporting front line health care during this time.
____________________________________________
My education has provided me with a multitude of learning experiences involving a variety of pathologies; enabling me to care for clientele of all ages and stages with both Therapeutic and Relaxation Massage. I continue to upgrade and improve my skills. Research is an integral part of my clinical practice. I feel it improves client care if my practice is up to date and forward thinking.
It has been my fortune to have been the only Massage Therapy student in the province to attend the Inter-professional Games 2009 at the University of Toronto enabling me to speak about my experiences and the importance of Allied Health Care and Client Centered Care to a variety of Medical Professionals and business persons from our community at Georgian College.
Working and communicating with other Health Care Providers is an integral part of Massage Therapy. Client centered care is the way of the future and I hope you will include me as part of your personal health care team.
I have been Level I Reiki certified since 2007, Level II Reiki certified since 2008 and Master Level Reiki certified since 2014 with the Canadian Reiki Association. I am a Certified reiki practitioner with the Canadian Reiki Association. Reiki is a gentle, yet effective energy treatment.
I am Certified with the Upledger Institute for Cranial Sacral Therapy and currently hold Level II certification. Cranial Sacral Therapy is an excellent modality that combines energy and fascial release work.
I have new skill sets in Visceral Manipulation I and Neuro Manipulation II with the Barral Institute. Amazing additions to your massage regime.
Acupressure is a great addition to your massage treatment, especially for those hard to treat points. I was trained in acupressure in 2015 to compliment your massage treatment. I use the Shinkoda Infrared Acupressure tool to save thumbs and to access the points more thoroughly.
It is is my focus to give my clients the best care I can provide and I continue to further educate myself and add modalities that will benefit my clientele in their healing process.
*It is highly appreciated that you call and reschedule appointments if you are fevered, have a scratchy throat and cough, are vomiting or have diarrhea. I am a solo operation and need to keep myself healthy and my space clear of contagions for the rest of the clientele.*
Due to the nature of unwanted phone calls and texts to my office beginning in January 2017 I feel obligated to post this notice. It only takes a few to ruin it for others:
**PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT I WILL CALL POLICE IF YOU ARE CALLING FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN A PROFESSIONAL, REGULATED, MASSAGE TREATMENT. I AM A PROFESSIONAL, REGISTERED MASSAGE THERAPIST UNDER THE CMTO AND WILL NOT TOLERATE ANY LEWD BEHAVIOUR OR SUGGESTIONS IN MY OFFICE OR ON THE PHONE**
