YYC Wellness Therapy

YYC Wellness Therapy Providing an integrative approach to chronic pain through manual osteopathic therapy, registered massage & laser therapy.

I am a wellness advocate providing an integrative approach to chronic pain through the power of holistic nutrition and manual therapy. With three certifications under my belt, (manual osteopathic therapy, massage therapy and holistic nutrition) my mission is to help you take control of your chronic pain & find optimal wellness. I graduated from the 1100-hour Massage Therapy Certificate program at

Mount Royal University in 2007, and I have been working as a sole proprietor since 2008. I've worked in spas and clinics, with physiotherapists, aestheticians and chiropractors. I have done the mobile massage thing, ultimately deciding to open my home based clinic in 2013, which is where I have been ever since! I am an MTAA member in good standing, fully registered and covered by all insurance companies. I have achieved 2200-hr equivalency status through my association to satisfy insurance coverage. I am known for deep tissue, therapeutic massage and trigger point therapy, but I also incorporate relaxation techniques as needed. I have additional certifications in TMJ massage, (jaw pain and dysfunction) prenatal/postpartum massage, (including labor and induction techniques) dynamic cupping and infant massage instruction. I also have experience working with motor vehicle accident treatments, sciatica, fibromyalgia, headaches and migraines, post-surgical, arthritis, plantar fasciitis, repetitive strain injuries low back pain and more! I also have a diploma in Natural Nutrition, graduating from the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition in May of 2015. My passion for nutrition came from a want to heal my own body as well as helping others around me manage their chronic illnesses. Holistic nutrition uses whole foods in combination with vitamin/mineral supplementation to help heal and prevent illness. Proper nutrition can enhance the immune system, prevent chronic disease and improve overall well being. I am an active member in good standing with the CSNN Alumni Association. My main focus is helping others discover & correct underlying imbalances holding them back from achieving optimal wellness in their everyday lives using anti-inflammatory nutrition. My latest endeavour is my journey through the Manual Osteopathic College of Canada’s Manual Osteopathic Therapy diploma program. I graduated in September of 2020, and have since implemented it into my practice. Techniques used in sessions range from myofascial remodelling and osteoarticulation corrections to visceral manipulation and craniosacral osteopathy. I deeply enjoy providing clients with a holistic and thorough assessment of their body to better develop treatment plans that help reverse their pain and dysfunction. I am always looking to meet new clients, or local like-minded small business owners. If you'd like to connect, contact me or you can book an appointment online!

That’s what inspired the September Reset Bundles.

Happy Wednesday Friends & Clients!!

The past two years, in particular these last six months, have been a season of deep change for me—both personally and professionally. Life has a way of pushing us in new directions, sometimes unexpectedly, and I’ve had to take a step back, reflect, and make some necessary shifts. It hasn’t been easy, but growth rarely is.

Through it all, one thing has remained constant: my passion for what I do and my appreciation for each and every one of you. Your support, patience, and kindness have meant more than I can put into words. If you’ve been waiting to book or wondering what’s next, I want you to know—I’m here, I’m ready, and I’m more committed than ever to providing you with the best experience possible.

This new chapter feels different in the best way, and I’d love for you to be a part of it. Whether you’re a longtime client or someone I haven’t seen in a while, I’d be honored to have you back.

Bookings are now open, and I can’t wait to see you!

🌙✨ Feeling the effects of shorter days and less sunlight? CranioSacral Therapy (CST) might be just what your body needs this winter. CST is a gentle, hands-on technique that helps release tension in the body and improve the flow of cerebrospinal fluid, supporting your nervous system's balance and overall well-being.

Here’s how CranioSacral Therapy can help:

🌿 Eases Stress & Tension – By calming the central nervous system, CST can help reduce stress and create a sense of inner peace, making it easier to manage winter blues.

🧘‍♀️ Supports Better Sleep – CST can help restore sleep patterns disrupted by the darker days, giving you a more restful night and a clearer mind.

🌞 Boosts Energy & Mood – Regular CST sessions may improve your energy levels and boost mood by supporting your body’s natural rhythms, which can get thrown off during the fall/winter months.

🌱 Embrace the power of balance and make this season your coziest yet. Your body, mind, and spirit will thank you! 💫

Using these benefits can help you live a healthier, happier, pain free life. Plus, who doesn't love saving a little money? 💰

SO excited to announce that I will have a new clinic space as of September 6!!

Existing clients, stay tuned to get an email with my new address, and please be patient with me as we reprogram your brains after over a decade in the current space.
