I will kindly now ask that clients booking appointments be fully vaccinated. Thank you for your understanding.

Experiencing back, neck, elbow or wrist pain from top much computer work and sitting? Book a massage!

Happy New Year! I am available for appointments! Make sure you have a doctor's note or referral from a physio/chiro with the new AHS guidelines. Hopefully they will be removed soon!.

I CAN WORK AGAIN!!!!

As per the update provided by the Chief Medical Officer of Health, massage therapists are able to resume immediately providing services under the following guidelines:

All clients must have either a written prescription from a Medical Doctor, or a written referral from a regulated health professional (https://www.alberta.ca/regulated-health-professions.aspx)

If your benefits end Dec 31st don't delay in booking your massage appointments!

So as you will quickly hear, Stage 2 as been moved ahead to JUNE 12th! Now, this doesn't give me much time to get ready so I will be taking clients on a first come first serve basis. Strict Covid-19 protocols will be followed as outlined by my Massage Association (the MTAA).
Please send me a message or text (780-278-1497)
Thanks so much your patience, I've missed you and look forward to seeing you soon!

As most of you have now heard, Edmonton and Alberta will begin the gradual re-opening of the province and city! Massage Therapy is in STAGE 2.
I am hopeful that Stage 1 goes well beginning on May 14th, and the Premier and Health Officials will open Stage 2 June 1st...that being said we NEED to listen to what they are asking of us (self distancing, still staying home when we can, wash your hands, etc). I am asking everyone to PLEASE NOT TAKE ADVANTAGE SO THE PROVINCE ISN'T FORCED TO ROLLBACK THE RE-OPENING...I will be abiding by the health and safety measures outlined for Massage Therapists as that info is presented. PREPARE yourself to come to my appointments with a mask (disposable or washable). I will also have some here for purchase if you don't have access to any. I WILL POST ON FB as soon as I am able to re-open!

To all my wonderful clients I am still here for you. Stess, increased screen time, inactivity etc can really build up the tension in your body.
1. If you're feeling pain or stiffness let me know and I can guide you through some self care exercises (we can even connect through a facetime video)
2. Stretch daily.
3. Stay positive.
4. Practice mindfulness and
5. Know that we can all get through this together and I will let you know when I can reopen ASAP!
TAKE CARE!
