I graduated in 1997 from the D’Arcy Lane Institute in London, Ontario. I have worked in many different settings, including a chiropractor clinic, physiotherapy clinic, massage clinic, and my own health spa, where I have seen a diverse clientele with many ailments, injuries, and treatment needs.

During my massage career, I have continued to advance my skills by taking various courses, and provide manual lymphatic drainage, therapeutic touch, joint mobilization, Indian head massage, and brain gym exercises. I strive to provide a therapeutic massage in a relaxing, comfortable environment.

When I am not massaging, I enjoy practising yoga, managing my teenage daughter’s scholastic and athletic activities, hanging out with my pets, and spending time with my family and friends.

In my treatment room, I will continue to remain masked, but wearing a mask is optional for those receiving treatment. If you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Prior to graduating with a Masters in Osteopathic Manual Sciences from the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy, I earned a degree in Theatre Design (1994) and a diploma in Costume Studies (2002). For over 20 years I worked in theaters across Canada, before embarking on a new career path.

I have experience training as a competitive swimmer, runner, and a triathlete. I have also trained in Crossfit and for several years had a daily Ashtanga yoga practice. Today, I continue to swim and run, and enjoy the benefits of an active lifestyle.

As a lifelong athlete, I am familiar with the effects of training on the body, and the limitations of traditional medical approaches in addressing physical pain and the complexities of injury and recovery. I found my way to Osteopathy after traditional modalities failed to meet my needs. As a patient, I found the practice of Osteopathy beneficial, bringing relief to my pain, and allowing me to return to my training. As a practitioner, my love for working with people, combined with my desire to help patients return to a functional quality of life, changed my path from the Arts to the Sciences.

Osteopathic Manual Therapy can help relieve the symptoms of injury and chronic pain, as well as a wide range of other health problems. I use my knowledge of anatomy to effectively treat my patients as individuals in a safe, accepting and secure setting.

If you would like to know more about how Osteopathy can benefit you, feel free to book an initial intake appointment. Osteopathic treatments can be billed to most extended health care plans.

Hi there! My name is Alyssa. I am a Registered Social Worker who specializes in working with folks who struggle with big emotions (like anger, sadness, anxiety, and/or shame), consequential ways of coping (for example, self-harm, substance use, disordered eating, overspending, etc.), relationship problems (conflict, communication, trust, self-esteem, etc.), & sexuality (exploring identity, intimacy, experiences of judgment and oppression, etc.).

My primary goal is to identify what concrete changes you would like to see in your life and create targets to work on throughout our time together. I approach therapy like a road trip that we are taking together. You are in the driver’s seat. You are the expert in your own life. Though, sometimes I may offer directions or change the music (so to speak).

I incorporate a variety of therapeutic interventions to assist individuals with their difficulties, primarily; Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

A bit about me personally- I identify as a queer femme (pronouns she/they) and a mental health consumer (meaning someone who has struggled with mental illness). I am sex, kink, and body positive. These are important parts of me that guide how I work. However, I recognize that no two experiences are the same. I do my best to be an ally for others and work towards being anti-racist and anti-ableist.

I would be honoured to hold space for you and go on this “road trip” together. If you have any questions about my practice, please feel free to get in touch!

In-person, telephone & online video counselling is available for adults (18+). Sliding scale pricing is offered.

Hi! My name is Jennifer and I am a trauma-informed massage therapist who helps people find relief from muscle tension and pain related to stress and anxiety.

Since 2009 I have worked in the Hamilton area in a variety of settings from rehabilitation to general care. In the last 7 years I have focused on the intersection of mental health and physical health. I have a certificate from Wilfrid Laurier University in Trauma, and have continued my practical studies into myofascial work.

Chronic muscle tension in the neck and shoulders and TMJD are common issues that come up for people living with high stress, anxiety and depression. Massage is an excellent way to deal with the added stress of pain, dysfunction, and tension and restoring comfort in the body.

My style varies based on the person at my table. I aim to tailor my sessions to what your body responds best to. I use myofascial techniques, neuromuscular techniques, and general Swedish techniques to help you find relief.

Outside of work I like to get outside, garden, hike, ride bikes and go for a paddle.

Born and raised in the Hamilton area, I completed my undergraduate degree at McMaster University with an Honours Bachelor of Science. My studies focused on Biology as a major and Medical Anthropology as a minor, the combination of which ignited my interested in alternative medicine. My passion for natural therapies, holistic medicine, and most importantly health, made naturopathic medicine an instinctive fit for me.

During this time I discovered my passion for clinical nutrition, and continued on to complete my Masters in Human Health and Nutritional Sciences at the University of Guelph. Recently in 2015 Naturopathic doctors have gained access to prescription rights for a list of medications in Ontario, and I have completed required training and examination to access these privileges.

I am currently a board certified Naturopathic Doctor, registered with both the Ontario Association of Naturopathic Doctors (OAND) and the Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors (CAND). I work to integrate research-based natural medical knowledge with mainstream medicine to provide the most comprehensive care possible. This is achieved through the use of clinical nutritional therapies, acupuncture and Asian medicine, botanical medicine, lifestyle counselling and homeopathy. I welcome patients at any stage in their journey toward well-being and have special interest in women’s health, fertility, digestive concerns and chronic disease.

I completed my Master’s in Practice of Osteopathic Manipulative Sciences at the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy (CAO). I have worked as a Registered Nurse since 2008 in hospital and community settings where I have been exposed to patients suffering from different ailments. My passion to achieve health and wellness through a more natural approach led me to seek natural medicine alternatives that I now apply in order to bring the body to its best possible state. I utilize a gentle and effective approach to osteopathic treatment in order to appeal to the nervous system in letting go of the musculoskeletal restrictions. My focus is on determining and applying the best approach to your individual needs. Prior to Osteopathy, I completed a diploma in Neurofunctional Acupuncture at McMaster University.

A career in massage therapy has allowed me to combine my interest of health and wellness into a profession I find deeply fulfilling. I am a graduate of the Ontario College of Health and Technology where we had extensive training on anatomy, physiology, assessment skills and treatment techniques, ranging from trigger point therapy and myofascial release techniques to hydrotherapy. As an RMT with a focus on injury rehabilitation and pain management, I am committed to helping my patients regain their vitality and wellness. Whether you are dealing with an acute injury, chronic pain or post-surgical recovery, I am well equipped with the knowledge and experience needed to assist you on your path to recovery.

I am always happy to teach patients some of these qigong sets as part of their remedial exercise programs, because simply put, motion is lotion!
