Services

Swedish Massage
This is the most popular massage that people look for when they ask for a "regular massage." Oil is used to allow the therapist to perform a range of techniques to relieve pain, enhance circulation, release tight muscles and improve range of motion - all the while keeping a slow and relaxing pace. The depth of pressure used can vary according to you and your body.
Looking for deep tissue massage? You can find that here too.

Pregnancy Massage
Relieve the discomforts of pregnancy with a relaxing and restorative treatment for expecting moms. This massage treatment will help to improve circulation, relieve lower back pain, alleviate pressure on joints and reduce swelling in legs. This treatment is typically performed in a side lying position for the comfort and safety of you and your baby.
Post-partum treatments are also important for a parent. After baby is born, massage can be an effective way to soothe your mental and physical stresses.

NISA
Neuromuscular Integration and Structural Alignment is a deep tissue technique that works directly on the fascial layers of the body. NISA uses a shallow angle of entry with a small amount of oil. The technique involves a "spreading" of the fascial layers in order to stretch and soften, reduce restrictions and adhesions, help restore function and postural alignment to the body.
NISA is a technique that I frequently use in most of my treatments.

TMJ Pain and Dysfunction
This focused treatment of the face and jaw works to alleviate the pain and tension caused by teeth grinding, jaw clenching, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction.
While a lot of relief can be found with massaging the external jaw, we can also work intra-orally (using gloves, of course).
Location
In the heart of Roncesvalles Village, my studio is located within Boomerang Pilates inside the Roncesvalles United Church.

Please note, the church is locked at all times.

FAQs
Do you treat kids?
Yes, I do! Children carry heavy backpacks to school and participate in a range of activities that can be hard on their bodies, just like adults. Since children can sometimes be anxious or fidgety with longer treatments, I offer 30 minute sessions for children under age 15 at a rate of $75 plus HST. Please get in touch with me directly by text, phone or email to book a shorter treatment.
What forms of payment do you accept?
Preferred methods are e-transfer or debit. If you wish to pay in cash, please have exact change, or the difference will be applied as a credit for your next visit. I also accept Visa, MasterCard and American Express.
Please note that the first time you book online, you will be asked to provide your credit card details. This is only needed to secure your booking, and your card will not be charged.
Do you do direct billing?
I don't at this time, but you will be provided with a receipt via email, which you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.
What is your cancellation policy?
If you need to cancel your appointment, please do so with a MINIMUM of 24 hours. If you cancel with less than 24 hours and the slot doesn't rebook, or you miss your appointment, I will have to charge the full fee. Thank you for respecting my time!
Should I leave a tip?
Though it’s a lovely gesture, it is absolutely not necessary! If you enjoyed your treatment, the best way to tip is with a referral or leaving a positive Google review.
