We strive to achieve that goal by creating an atmosphere that encourages our clients to settle in and give their bodies permission to relax during their time with us. Massage Therapy is the manipulation of soft tissues to help alleviate tension placed on the body's muscular, nervous, and circulatory systems.
During the massage, the only area that will be undraped is the area that the Massage Therapist is working on. We seek to maintain your privacy in a respectful, professional manner. With experience comes knowledge, and all four of our Registered Massage Therapists have been practicing for over 10 years.

I was originally introduced to massage therapy to treat my own ailing jaw, and knew immediately that I wanted to help others as my Massage Therapist had helped me. Since graduating from Algonquin College in 2006, my love for massage therapy has continued to grow.
One of my favourite feelings as a Massage Therapist is the feeling of a trigger point releasing beneath my fingertips; the "melting" sensation is so incredibly rewarding because it represents an unraveling of tension that my client was unable to accomplish on their own.From there, I enjoy helping clients to increase their body awareness so that they can try to avoid muscle tension as much as possible in their everyday lives.

After graduating from Algonquin College in 2003, I returned to my hometown of Cornwall, where I have been working as a RMT ever since. What I love about massage therapy is working with my amazing clients to help them achieve their treatment goals. From reducing pain and improving mobility to helping someone simply relax.
Swedish massage is the primary technique taught to Massage Therapists in Ontario. This technique combines kneading and gliding to encourage the muscle to return to its optimal healthy state. The pressure of a Swedish massage can range from relaxation to deep tissue, depending on your goals. Deep tissue massage is the application of Swedish massage to relax and release deep layers of a targeted muscle.
Massage Therapy is the manipulation of soft tissues to help alleviate tension placed on the body's muscular, nervous, and circulatory systems. Massage Therapists work with these tissues and their surrounding joints to aid in the prevention and rehabilitation of the excess stresses that are placed upon them.

Colleen is absolutely amazing. She has magical hands - seriously, go see her. She is SO skilled and her intuition is on point; she'll find alllllllll of your problem areas - even ones you didn't know existed - and she'll work them out until you're jelly. She's got a lot of strength but she makes sure to check about the pressure and is super receptive to feedback. You can tell she is fully invested in making sure you have the experience you expected. I'm sure all of the RMTs at this location are great, but Colleen is in a league of her own.

I highly recommend the clinic! Allison is attentive to my descriptions of sources of discomfort and asks pertinent questions to ensure that she plans the best treatment possible. She's mindful of client needs throughout the massage while delivering high-quality service. She has a deep interest in her field, which shows through her continuing education and it's easy to tell that she really cares about improving mobility and day to day muscle function for her clients.

I highly recommend Hélène she is very professional and knowledgeable her experience was evident in the way she worked. She always explain what she is doing and why and took the extra time to show me techniques I could do at home which help with pain management. Hélène was extremely caring and provided me with much needed relief. It was very quiet, peaceful and relaxing. See you again in 2 weeks.🙂
