REGISTERED MASSAGE THERAPY

Theresa is an Advanced Grief Recovery Specialist, offering grievers the action program for moving beyond pain and suffering of significant loss throughout their lifetime. Death, divorce, loss of career & financial issues, loss of health, growing up in an alcoholic or dysfunctional home, heartache of broken relationships are among the many losses that can have a lifelong negative impact on the capacity for happiness.

Hot Stone Therapeutic Massage

A full body massage that is enhanced by using hot basalt stones, to achieve deep relaxation as well as the therapeutic relief of muscle tightness and adhesions. The heat and pressure from the stones results in a deeper and longer-lasting relaxation and longer pain reduction. Not recommended for heat-sensitive guests and contraindicated for certain health conditions.


CranioSacral Therapy (CST) Massage

CST was pioneered and developed by John E. Upledger after extensive scientific studies from 1975 to 1983 at Michigan State University. CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle, hands-on approach to evaluating and enhancing the craniosacral system, which is comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord.


Prenatal Massage Therapy

Massage therapy performed during pregnancy can reduce anxiety, decrease symptoms of depression, relieve muscle aches and joint pains, and much more. Studies have shown that hormone levels associated with relaxation and stress are significantly decreased when massage therapy is a part of women’s prenatal care. This leads to mood regulation and improved cardiovascular health.


Dynamic Cupping with Massage Therapy

Dynamic cupping is a combination of massage movements, joint mobilizations and the negative pressure created by the cups. This is done by using either plastic suction cups or silicone cups. They are placed in certain locations on the body and can include static cupping and/or gliding. Cupping can help reduce muscle tension, improve range of motion/flexibility and increase circulation.


Fire Cupping Massage

Fire cupping is an alternative, non-invasive technique that uses special glass cups placed on the skin to encourage blood flow to damaged areas. An alcohol-soaked cotton ball is lit on fire and placed into the cup to pull oxygen out to create the suction. You definitely do not feel any heat! Depending on how tight your muscles are will determine how dark the coloring left on your skin from the ... Read More

Fire cupping is an alternative, non-invasive technique that uses special glass cups placed on the skin to encourage blood flow to damaged areas. An alcohol-soaked cotton ball is lit on fire and placed into the cup to pull oxygen out to create the suction. You definitely do not feel any heat! Depending on how tight your muscles are will determine how dark the coloring left on your skin from the suction. Cups are left on for about 10-15min and you are left with marks that can last for about a week or two, depending on how dark they get.


Pediatric CranioSacral (CST)

**newborn to 6 months old for James
**newborn and older for Marni


Pediatric Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is beneficial from pediatric to geriatric! Children receive many benefits from massage, including (but not limited to) calming the nervous system, improving sleep, reducing muscle tension and stress. It also teaches them about safe and healthy boundaries and starts them on a path of life-long self-care.


Reflexology Massage

Reflexology is a therapy in which pressure is applied to the reflex points on the hands and feet. It is based on the principle that these reflex points are related to the internal organs and glands, and are laid out in the same arrangement as that in the physical body. Pressure or palpation on a reflex point can therefore affect these structures. This treatment helps to stimulate the normal ... Read More

Reflexology is a therapy in which pressure is applied to the reflex points on the hands and feet. It is based on the principle that these reflex points are related to the internal organs and glands, and are laid out in the same arrangement as that in the physical body. Pressure or palpation on a reflex point can therefore affect these structures. This treatment helps to stimulate the normal function of the organ involved and thus aids in self-healing, bringing about physical and mental well-being.


Manual Lymph Drainage Massage

The skin is stretched and torqued in a specific manner, based on scientific, physiological principles that have proven to encourage lymph flow. If performed correctly with the correct pressure, direction and speed, this can greatly enhance recovery and facilitate drainage.

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!
