Welcome
I am a registered massage therapist with 2200 hours of training and 7 years experience. I have supplemented my massage education with specialized courses in shiatsu and reflexology.
My massage & reflexology practice is located on the outskirts of Kensington in NW Calgary. I work out of a lovely massage therapy clinic called “Why Knot! therapeutic massage”.
Generally I do therapeutic massage (or deep tissue massage). I find most people have knots and muscle tension they need to have worked out and the deep tissue techniques are what work best. Drawing upon my background in Human Kinetics, in addition to my massage therapy training, I will work with you to create a customized massage treatment. Some of the techniques incorporated into your massage might include: myofascial release, shiatsu, trigger point release, and stretching. I also like to combine the deep localized heating of hot stones massage with my deep tissue work. This is very relaxing and helps release those stubborn tension spots.
Reflexology has been a more recent addition to my practice. The techniques of stimulating the body’s systems (muscular, skeletal, digestive, immune….) though reflex points on the feet is a very effective method of releasing stress. Studies are finding that stress is the cause of 80% of our modern illnesses. Reflexology is an excellent form of preventative health care. The sessions last approximately 45 – 60 minutes. A thorough health assessment is done to find out where extra attention is needed, but all treatments cover the whole foot and therefore the whole body.
