Not just needles—it’s a game-changer for recovery. 🪡✨

In our physiotherapy treatments, we may use acupuncture to bridge the gap between pain relief and functional movement. Here is how it helps your body:

✅ Reduces Muscle Tension: Targets deep knots (trigger points) that manual therapy can’t reach alone.
✅ Calms the Nervous System: Switches you from “fight-or-flight” to “rest-and-repair” mode.
✅ Speeds Up Healing: Boosts blood circulation to injuries, bringing in nutrients for recovery.
✅ Reduces Inflammation: Provides a natural alternative for chronic pain management.

We combine this with hands-on physio and exercise for better, faster outcomes.

Heather (she/her) is a Registered Massage Therapist and graduate of Sutherland-Chan School of Massage Therapy. Her approach is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves access to compassionate, body-informed care. A strong advocate for body autonomy, Heather is committed to making each treatment a collaborative and empowering experience.

Her clinical style combines deep tissue work, myofascial release (MFR), joint mobilizations, intra-oral TMJ massage, positional release techniques, and sports massage techniques. This flexible approach allows her to effectively support a wide range of needs—from perinatal care and menopause symptom management to chronic pain, nerve pathologies, neurodivergent sensory regulation, and grief-related tension. Whether you're recovering from an injury, navigating a life transition, or seeking a more grounded relationship with your body, Heather creates space for your goals, your pace, and your “why.”

Her treatments are always adaptable to the present moment because healing isn’t one-size-fits-all—and neither is care.

Special Interests:

Pregnancy and post natal care, including diastasis recti and scar work

Menopause management

Trauma-informed care

Nerve pathologies

Therapeutic exercise and purposeful movement
