Massage Therapy
My goal is to provide you with relief from pain. I have experienced chronic low back pain since 2011, when I started receiving massage therapy. I am also no stranger to mental health conditions which contribute to pain.
I graduated from the Canadian College of Massage and Hydrotherapy in 2017 at the top of my class. Since then, I’ve furthered my education in pregnancy, lymphatic drainage, oncology, therapeutic/rehabilitative breast/chest massage, 2SLGBTQIA+ healthcare, fibromyalgia/chronic fatigue syndrome, mental health, and end-of-life care.
Here at Ripple Effects Massage Therapy, you can receive the following types of treatments by booking with me: traditional Swedish massage, pregnancy massage with a special pregnancy cushion, and lymphatic drainage massage (Vodder Level 1, indicated for intact lymphatic systems, where no lymphatic tissue has been removed/damaged). All treatments are trauma-informed.
How we got Started
Ripple Effect was born out of a passion for delivering a holistic, research informed and patient-centered approach to wellness, leading to the establishment of a place where healthcare knowledge and practice converge.
Our Patient-Centered Approach
Every patient is important. We are committed to providing personalized, high-quality services that focus on your well-being and healthcare needs.
