I won a free Shiatsu course ! September 25th / 2022 I am very excited to say that I won a free Shiatsu course! I entered a draw at the Canadian Massage Conference and was notified I won.  Shiatsu originates from Japan. It uses a lot of eastern medical theory and has different techniques to apply pressure to areas of the body.  I have been thinking about Shiatsu ever since I first learned about it years ago. I had always been humming and hawing about signing up for a class. No real reason for not taking it other than I was always doing something else. But I am glad that I will finally be taking the leap and diving into it. The two instructors are also RMT’s and they have modified the course to be performed on tables instead of on a mat on the floor like traditional Shiatsu. This is really good because I will be able to incorporate these techniques into my every day regular massage. Classes start in October and end in November. Which means I will be fully finished by December. So excitin

An RMT at the Canadian Massage Conference

  An RMT at the Canadian Massage Conference September 24th / 2022 Attended the Canadian Massage Conference in Richmond Hill for the first time ever.  It was amazing. I was so thrilled to be surrounded by so many like minded people. It wasn't just massage therapists from all over Canada, but people who are experts in their fields in all sorts of backgrounds. The entire conference was over flowing with knowledge and education. Everyone was so eager to learn and to share what they know. It's was constant information on the world of physical therapy and it was so awesome.  A bunch of wonderful presenters, demos, hands on learning, and discussions. The hardest part was picking what to do and see because there is overlap of presentations.  Not only that but there was a bunch of booths with massage supplies and different equipment you can use in your practice.  The event had major sponsors, Hand and Stone as well as Massage Addict in attendance. It was run by Massage Therapy Media. Ma
