​Hello Wortley Village - and all of the beautiful communities in the London area!

I am excited to be returning to Wortley Village, and to reconnecting with old friends, clients and neighbours - as well as getting to know many new faces.
For those that don't know me, let me introduce myself! My name is Anne. My personal and professional experiences in the world of healthcare over the past fifteen years have led me to one conclusion: when it comes to our muscle's health and wellness, we can do better with our self care and managing pain. Massage therapy can address many soft tissue and fascial issues, and lymphatic work can address issues ranging from brain fog and GI issues to simple or complex edema.  These therapies can be a great support to treatment you may be receiving from other health professionals (osteopaths, chiropractors, movement specialists, physiotherapists).

My whole approach to therapy is not to specialize in any one modality, but to be a generalist and have a broad picture and range in helping people along their healing journey. My type of Massage Therapy is always in flux, because I continue to keep learning and integrating what I learn back into the mix. My educational background marries many Eastern and Western techniques together, giving me a unique approach to treating the body.  My massage may feel that it isn't a deep treatment, but through rhythmic repetition and a variety of techniques, structures from the most superficial to the most deep are being engaged and treated. (Saying this, please note that I do not provide conventional deep-tissue treatments, but I have some great referrals I can send you!)

So my mission is pretty clear. I’m here to help clients and patients discover their body's structural strengths and challenges, educate them in self care, and alleviate muscle tension in their bodies through massage and manual therapies. I also train healthcare providers who desire to do the same.

​If this resonates with you, or if you’re curious to know more about me and my unique approach, then please read on.
Anne shares a wholistic + humanistic approach to massage therapy based on human science + the art of healing.
My work in massage therapy over the years has had a great focus on, and additional training/certification in Lymphatic Drainage, TMJ dysfunction with myo-orofacial support, Headache + Migraine massage releasing neck, scalp and face restrictions,  and Women's Health.  My education and experiences allow me to bring a blend of clinical massage techniques and eastern modalities (acupressure, thai, cupping, gua sha) to my treatment plans.

My clinical interests include:
  • Manual Lymphatic Drainage (edema, post-surgery)
  • TMJ Dysfunction soft tissue release (intra-oral + orofacial)
  • Headaches + Migraines (scalp and neck treatments)
  • Abdominal massage, visceral and diaphragm/core fascial release
  • Scar Work massage to treat healing of scars (c-section, etc)
  • integrative and collaborative approaches to health care

I also have a great joy in the relaxing and rejuvenating properties of aromatherapy combined with massage, with my Aroma Massage (essential oils), and popular Raindrop Method (therapeutic aromatherapy) in my R&R Treatments.

My approach is:

  • Client centred – It’s all about you. You’re the expert of yourself and you know what is feeling 'off'. I am  here to listen, learn and explore who you are through your posture and soft tissues. My goal is to help you get where you want and need to be.

  • Empowering – I want you to discover your own body's uniqueness and activate your body's innate ability to heal.  I do this through sharing knowledge, explaining your imbalances, and teaching you the skills you’ll need for self care.

  • Evidence Informed – My approach to practice is informed by research evidence, clinical evidence, experiential evidence, cultural evidence (ie. the collective wisdom from bygone generations that has been preserved through time-tested traditions).
  • Holistic and integrative – I look at the whole you. I’m mindful that there are things within you and outside of you that shape who you are including your body, mind, heart, spirit, and relationship realities (ie. bio-psycho-social factors). I’m mindful of the impact trauma has on bodies and psyches and you’ll experience compassion and respectful care from me.

  • Exploratory – I invite you to cultivate awareness of your own body, get curious and creative, test theories, push your boundaries if necessary, and embrace a self care plan.
​
  • Biotensegrity Focused – The human body is a multidimensional, dynamic, and adaptable - with massive capacity. My goal is to assist in (re)training your body through movement, manual and myofascial release, breathing techniques and posture balancing.

SOPHII: Therapy Dog + Service Dog 

It is with great sadness that I share the news of my sweet and ridiculous little girl, who went home this January. She was the best door greeter and zen keeper a clinic could ever ask for. I know she touched many hearts and brought many smiles to our clients over the past 14 years.

I am so grateful for our time together and all that she gave me and all those around her. Her little light will be immensely missed.
