Laura : Tuina Therapist & Qi Gong Teacher

In my practice I specifically use Hsu Hongchi’s Jin Shou Tuina, which was passed on to Vince Black, who then integrated the use of craniosacral therapy to help shift the adaptive patterns of the nervous system. I completed my Tuina certification in 2021 at the Montreal Gongfu Research Center in Rosemont and I am member of the Association Québécoise des Thérapeutes Naturels. I have had success in reducing and treating acute and chronic pain associated with conditions such as back injury, tendonitis, fibromyalgia, and anxiety. Most importantly, I seek to provide a supportive environment where people can feel at ease to express themselves and find moments of rest, comfort, and presence in their bodies.

Léah : Tuina Therapist & Qi Gong Teacher

My interest in Chinese medicine began a few years ago when I discovered Qi Gong and traditional martial arts. Today, I am in my last year as an acupuncture student, and I am continuing my Tuina training at the Gongfu Research Center in Montreal, having already been practicing on my own for several years. My Tuina practice, as taught by my teachers, aims at restoring the physiological coherence of each individual, on many levels. Although bodies are already equipped with tools to exist in well-being, daily life, stress and many other issues can lead to suffering, as varied as it may be. My role is to assist the body in restoring its full power, and to help it regain its autonomy. My practice is done in a benevolent and welcoming manner, without judgment.

Certified as an Assistant Instructor in Xing Yi Quan by the North American Tang Shou Tao (NATSTA), I also lead the Qi Gong sessions given at the Clinic and I integrate certain exercises into my treatments, in order to maintain the effects of the care on a daily basis.

Gabrielle : Swedish Massage Therapist

I am in the early stages of my professional practice following my training in Swedish massage therapy. It is an accessible technique that stimulates the natural recovery and healing processes of the body and its tissues. More specifically, it can relieve and treat chronic or injury-related muscle and joint pain, as well as nervous fatigue and anxiety, but also a myriad of other specific situations. I am particularly interested in the benefits of massage for the aging population and the treatment of symptoms of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.

I believe that bodies are intelligent, and that massage opens a pathway to wellness and healing for them that they remember afterwards. I like to lead the people I massage into a state of deep relaxation, releasing their nagging tension points and helping to alleviate and address their physical and mental health issues. I aim to adapt to the needs and desires of each individual, while enjoying the massage.

Rowan : Massage Therapist

I have been working as a massage therapist for over seven years and have had the joy of treating so many different people, each with their own unique bodies, conditions and concerns.

In my practice, I prioritize deep(er) tissue work, assisted stretching, cupping therapy, fascial release and scar work. I specialize in trans body work and post-operative (external) rehabilitative care. Insurance receipts provided. All are welcome!

FR : Je travaille comme massothérapeute depuis plus de sept ans. J’ai eu la chance de soigner une grande diversité de personnes, chacune avec leur corps unique, leur état de santé et leurs préoccupations particulières. Ma pratique se concentre sur le massage des tissus profonds, l’étirement musculaire assisté, les ventouses (cupping), la détente des fascias et le traitement des cicatrices. Je me spécialise dans le soin des personnes trans et les soins de réadaptation postopératoires. Je remets des reçus d’assurance. Tout le monde est bienvenu !

Alice / Oli Shiatsu Massage Therapist

My desire to practice shiatsu came from a great interest in traditional Japanese and Chinese medicine. I am fascinated by the accuracy of this bodily approach as well as by the space of encounter to oneself that it offers. I therefore trained at the Guijek Institute in 2018 and I continue to deepen my knowledge about this millennial art.

Shiatsu is a Japanese therapeutic approach according to which all discomfort stems from an energy imbalance. During sessions, mobilizations, stretching and pressure are used to promote a return to harmony. Treatments take place on the floor, on a futon, dressed.

It is important to me to provide a space where boundaries, both physical and emotional, are heard and respected.

I can provide insurance receipts

Looking forward to meeting you.
