Janet graduated at the top of her class at D'Arcy Lane Institute after completing the 2200 hour Registered Massage Therapy program. There she gained valuable knowledge in Anatomy, Physiology, Kinesiology, Pathology, Treatments and Nutrition, as well as extensive hands on training. She earned the Academic Award of Excellence for her class and took part in a wide range of outreach opportunities to help build on her experience. Having previously worked in manufacturing, she understands the demands that physical labour and shift work can put on your body. She is an advocate for proactive health care to help prevent injuries as well as managing the pain of those that do occur. Janet believes that staying active is an essential part of keeping healthy. She possesses a passion for running, competing in various events up to and including the full marathon distance. Because of this, she is familiar with the "pains" that sometimes come with the "gains", making her a great resource for those suffering with sport related injuries. In April of 2016, Janet completed additional training in Pregnancy Massage through Trimesters, a leader in Pregnancy Massage Training in Canada. There she studied the anatomical and physiological changes that occur during each trimester and learned how to develop a safe and effective treatment plan for her clients in all stages of pregnancy. Community involvement is also a priority for Janet and she has been involved in various fundraisers and programs for the Oxford County branches of the Canadian Cancer Society, the Salvation Army Food Bank and Big Brothers and Big Sisters. As a dedicated Registered Massage Therapist, Janet undergoes continuous education to stay up to date on skills and to keep informed on current health issues facing her community. She fosters a commitment to the lifelong health of her clients and truly enjoys helping each and every one of them maintain their well being.
