Intent Health Clinic

For your first visit, book a 75 minute massage for the price of 60 minutes! ($80)

(Barb and Kasra are studying to become RMTs and are not yet registered, therefore their treatments are not billable to insurance.)

✨ Welcoming Kasra to Intent ✨⁠
⁠
We're so happy to welcome Kasra, who is now offering relaxation massage on Sundays!

Kasra is a student in the RMT program at Rhodes College. With a background as a personal trainer and ophthalmic technician, along with previous work experience providing relaxation massage, he brings a calm, professional and supportive presence to each treatment.

He approaches each massage like a story that unfolds - allowing the body to settle, gradually working into areas that need more focus, and closing in a way that helps you feel grounded and balanced.

This is a great opportunity for anyone wanting high-quality massage at a more accessible price point - especially if you have limited insurance coverage. His goal is to create a treatment that helps you feel rested and refreshed ✨

Kasra offers:

- 60, 75, and 90 minute treatments (starting at $80)

- Relaxation massage with passive stretching

- Light, medium or firm pressure, depending on what feels best for you

🌸 It’s that time of year 🌸
Cherry blossom petals gently fall and swirl around you as you arrive for your massage appointment. We feel so lucky to be nestled on this beautiful tree-lined street in springtime 🌿

✨ Welcoming Shira to Intent ✨

We’re so happy to introduce Shira, now offering Registered Massage Therapy at Intent on Tuesdays.

Shira brings a calm, thoughtful presence to the treatment room and has built her practice on the belief that healing begins with feeling safe in your own body. Growing up in a family deeply involved in community care has shaped the way she supports people through both everyday stressors and more vulnerable stages of life.

Her massage style is slow, intentional, and responsive, blending calming techniques with more targeted treatment when appropriate. She focuses on creating a steady flow that allows your body and nervous system to settle. Shira also offers hot stone massage, bringing warmth and soothing sensory comfort into sessions if that feels supportive for you.

Shira has a special professional interest in supporting:

- persistent pain and chronic conditions
- nervous system regulation and stress-related tension
- trauma-informed care
- central and peripheral neurological conditions
- rehabilitation and recovery

Barb's treatments are thoughtful, grounded, and deeply relaxing, with a calm, collaborative approach that helps each session feel personalized to what your body needs that day.

This is a wonderful opportunity for anyone wanting high-quality massage at a more accessible price point - especially if you have limited insurance coverage or simply want more massage in your life.

Barb offers:

- 60, 75, and 90 minute treatments ($80-$140)
- Hot stone add-on (+$15)

Welcome to Intent ✨

As part of our clinic renovation, we created this new welcome pillar, reminiscent of a tree trunk, to help patients feel grounded and oriented from the moment they arrive. 🌿

It brings a sense of warmth, nature, and ease to the start of your visit, gently guiding you toward the waiting area.

What do you think of our tree-trunk-inspired welcome pillar? 🌳

We hosted a hot stone massage course last weekend! ✨

This wonderful group of RMTs explored hot stone massage through a trauma-informed, evidence-based lens, learning about interoception, how massage interacts with the nervous system, and ways to support safety, choice, and therapeutic goals.

We loved having Masumi back at the clinic to share her hands-on approach to creating a soothing, nurturing hot stone massage experience. ❤️

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped create such a warm, curious, and collaborative learning space!

A hidden gem 💛

We love creating a space where people feel genuinely cared for.

Words like these remind us why thoughtful, patient-centered care matters so much.

At Intent Health Clinic, every treatment is tailored to your body, your goals, and what feels supportive for you that day.

Thank you for trusting us with your care.
