I won a Shiatsu course !



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 exciting to gain new knowledge. I am always excited to be learning new things.

Guest on Podcast 2 Massage Therapists and a Microphone

                         Guest on Podcast 2 Massage Therapists and a Microphone November 30th / 2022 I have been listening to 2 Massage Therapists and a Microphone for years now.  Let's do a little introduction to the podcast: Amanda and Mark are the hosts of the show ( they are also married ). They are two RMT's as well as kinesiologists that interview soft tissue workers from all over, but mostly North America. They are based here in Toronto, Canada. But with the beautiful internet, they have people on the show from the US and sometimes other parts of the world. They have had the podcast now for about 5 years. They have over 400 podcasts and they are continue to grow every day. They also own ConEd Institute but that is a completely separate business. If you want to know more, you really should just listen to their podcast. I prefer Spotify to listen to them with. I met Mark first in a cupping class that I took at ConEd Institute. I really enjoyed the course and found it to b

Guest Speaker at Sutherland-Chan School of Massage Therapy

  Guest Speaker at Sutherland-Chan School of Massage Therapy November 25th / 2022 I was invited to be a guest speaker to students at the Sutherland-Chan school of massage therapy. ( The school I went to ! So exciting ) I have been really looking forward to this for ages. Back when I was first asked. They reached out to me and asked if I could come in for a class and talk to the students. Basically do a lot of Q&A. If you know me, you already know I obviously said yes. If you don't know me, then I will just let you know that I love talking, I love sharing knowledge, I love education, I love massage, I love conversation, I love curiosity, and I love being around people. It was a no brainer. I didn't have to prepare anything. Just bring myself, arrive on time, and ready for back and forth. I was also sharing time with another RMT. I thought it was a perfect match because we were opposites in everything in experience. Me                                        Other RMT Female

Improved massage room

  Improved massage room. October 11th / 2022 I have finally opened up the full space in the massage room. The blue hanging curtain is gone ! But no worries, curtain lights stayed. A lot of you told me you liked them so they couldn’t take leave. With the space opened I have moved the sitting and desk area into the new cubby area. In that space I also created an educational wall piece. With this we can talk more in-depth about your treatment and better understand what is being talked about. Muscles, ligaments, bones, tendons, nerves, and more. Another new thing is the chalk board area I painted on the wall with all of my prices listed. Much easier to read and I have the price plus HST added on display for easier convenience.  Mostly I love how much more space the room has and how it feels more open and breathable. I never thought it was claustrophobic or anything but I knew getting the full space of the room was going to be a great thing. I have also added a couple new wooden animals too
