I am a Registered Massage Therapist, I have been practicing since graduating from a 3,000 hours program at Makami College in 2017.

As an RMT, I have always been interested in how the body works and how to help others with traditional healing practices.  After working a few years as a massage therapist, I found that I really enjoyed helping people relax and feel better.  I believe that massage therapy is a great way to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and manage the pain.  I am passionate about helping people feel their best and reach their wellness goals.

Currently, I’m self-employed and enjoy working with a variety of clients. Skilled in the use of orthopedic assessment and various massage therapy treatments and techniques.  Experienced in providing Swedish, therapeutic, deep muscle and sport massage, joint mobilization, relaxation massage, trigger points, suction cupping, myofascial therapy, Advance Neuromuscular techniques, pregnancy and pre/post natal massage, manual lymph drainage, youth and senior massage.  Ability to determine the best and most appropriate treatment needed for each client while encouraging them to listen to their bodies.

In addition to practicing massage therapy, I also enjoy crocheting, knitting, sewing, in my free time, I also like to go out with my family to hunting, fishing, hiking and camping on the free campground in summer and winter as well, special on New year camping in the middle of the lake enjoying ice fishing, fireworks at 12am and waiting to the sun come out to say good morning New Year.

Colin has a Massage therapy diploma from Mount Royal University and a BSc. of Kinesiology from the University of Lethbridge. His background in sports performance training led him to the field of rehabilitation. Newton’s first law states that a body in motion stays in motion. This analogy applies perfectly to the human body. His primary goal is to help people maintain autonomy in their life and live without pain and limitations. While mechanical function of the body is his primary focus, he also recognises that the mind-body connection has a major influence on individuals’ comfort. He’s passionate about the care and treatment of all members of the public.

Stanley has been treating patients in the medical profession for 35 years and started in the custom foot orthotic field 20 years ago. His passion for pedorthics drives his ability to find helpful solutions and to share educational information with his patients. He strives to provide the best possible experience in foot care. His patients regularly comment on his thoroughness and attention to detail in his assessments which include an analysis of posture, biomechanical gait movement patterns and lower extremity musculoskeletal function. Video gait analysis provides the ability to visually show the patient exactly when and where their imbalances occur. He encourages his patients to participate in their own recovery by taking the time to educate them about their medical condition, footwear selection, orthotics, compression stockings and home rehabilitation program.
