JeeSun is a Manual Osteopathic Therapist, Massage Therapist and Physiokey Therapist.

Every client coming into the office is unique. Each and every body tells a different story.

Years of experience in massage therapy has taught her that our body is like a puzzle. The body shows symptoms, however, the source of the problems might be far from where symptoms are present. This is possible as all systems in our body are interconnected and interdependent through fascial network.

This complexity of it led her to take training for Manual Osteopathy, which assesses and treats the body as a three dimensional structure as it should.

She has also broadened her knowledge through extensive education in Craniosacral Therapy, Visceral Manipulation, Lymphatic Balancing and Neurovascular Release for Lumbosacral Stability and Freedom.

JeeSun is particularly intrigued by our main control center - the nervous system. In cases of irritated nervous system, she incorporates PHYSIOKEY (a bio-adaptive impulse device) into her manual therapy to interrupt prolonged, overly sensitized nerve firing to redirect the nervous system to calm pain signals. PHYSIOKEY effectively down-regulates the nervous system, resulting in less pain and inflammation.

Her therapeutic interest lies in TMJ dysfunction/ neck and its connection with pelvis, upregulated nervous system such as migraines, headaches and myofascial pain. Furthermore, brain-gut (our second brain) relationship and its influence on the musculo-skeletal system. She emphasizes on organ specific fascial mobilization (Visceral Manipulation) not only to increase motility and mobility of organs, but also to decrease symptoms in muscles and joints.

JeeSun grew up in South Korea where western and eastern medicine co-exist with harmony. Respecting and encouraging our body’s inherent ability to heal has been a big part of her life. She takes great pride in facilitating clients’ health concerns and assisting them holistically to get better.

When I lived in Cuba, I worked both as an entertainer at a resort and as a social worker. I enjoyed helping people feel better about themselves, and helping clients reduce stress. I also went to a sports school in Cuba where we were always putting our bodies under stress, without the help of massage therapy. When I came to Canada, I took the 3000 hr registered massage therapist program through Makami, where I graduated in August 2020. I feel proud of my work when clients get relief after their treatment, and return for their next treatment very happy about their increased mobility. I personally like to use stretching during my treatment (depending on the client’s needs), and that is why I am getting ready to take the Traditional Thai massage course. After I graduated, I took a Hot Stone Treatment course and a Dynamic Cupping course. Each client gets a customized treatment plan, focusing deep tissue massage to increase circulation and relief of soft tissue pain and stress. I also enjoy giving my clients relief and improving the recovery of muscle injuries through sports massage. There is nothing that gives me more pleasure than seeing a person moving their bodies and smiling, knowing that their lives are feeling more mobile and pain free!
