Meet Your Massage Therapist

Kirsten has continued her studies with courses such as visceral manipulation, dynamic assessment techniques, and joint manipulation of the neck using positional release, and gentle joint play techniques. She also has learnt basic mayan abdominal massage to promote fertility and blood flow to the uterus, and has an interest in fascial manipulation and hopes to develop those techniques further as her career progresses. Kirsten also enjoys doing prenatal massage, helping to ease the discomforts of pregnancy for women in their transition into motherhood. Pregnancy massage is a passion of Kirsten’s and she spent 10 weeks in Guatemala learning about women’s health, and the labour and birthing process in order to be able to bring that knowledge back to better help her pregnant clients.

How Does It Work?

Kirsten approaches her treatment with a posture focus, observing how you walk and hold your body in your standing and sitting postures. She focuses on lengthening shortened muscles and educating her clients on simple strengthening techniques to target weaker muscles groups. She can work deep into the tissues or keep things lighter for a more relaxing approach.

What to Expect?

For your first visit, we recommend arriving a few minutes early to complete any necessary paperwork and relax before your session. You’ll have a brief consultation with Kirsten to discuss your needs and any specific areas to focus on. During the massage, you can expect a professional, soothing environment where your comfort and privacy are prioritized. After the session, your therapist might provide some advice on how to care for yourself post-massage.
