Massage Therapy

This ancient form of bodywork is used to assist the body in healing on a physical and emotional level. Therapists manipulate and mold soft tissue structures to prevent and treat injury, increase joint range of motion, unwind stubborn knots + holding patterns, decrease pain, and increase your state of well-being.


Massage + Acupuncture

Contemporary acupuncture focuses on soft tissue dysfunction in the body. Fine needles are inserted along anatomical points to treat pain and decrease nervous system response (stress response) to promote deep relaxation.

This East meets West approach is a safe and effective way to fast track healing, especially when combined with massage therapy!

Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral therapy is a profound and subtle therapeutic technique that helps the body to move into coherence and realign with it’s own innate healing system. This hands-on modality uses a gentle touch to discover tension or disregulation in the membranes and fluids around the central nervous system. By accessing the nervous system in this way, the body is able to move toward equilibrium.

Intentional. Calming. Kind

Jill’s massage starts with gentle calming techniques to soothe your nervous system followed by slow-paced, moderate to firm Swedish massage combined with myofascial release, lymphatic drainage, and joint mobilizations.

A firm believer that massage should feel good, Jill aims to ease out tension and increase mobility leaving you feeling more comfortable in your body, relaxed, and standing just a little bit taller.

Jill’s massage super power is with a technique called Dermoneuromodulating (DNM).

“It’s an approach to manual therapy that primarily considers the nervous system rather than the structural tissue being treated. It targets the nerves in the skin, encouraging them to slide and glide, unloading them slowly, calming the nervous system, and allowing the brain to reconsider its output (pain). It is gentle, it is kind, it is slow. I use this approach in combination with Swedish massage techniques which allows for broad, general techniques that have specific and deep effects.”

Touch is the first sense we have that lets us know we’re not alone. Alex Timoteo (she/her) approaches massage therapy as a way to provide safe touch in a professional healthcare environment. Through safe touch and therapeutic rapport, massage therapy has the ability to support people in accessing their parasympathetic nervous system state – i.e. the “rest and digest” state, the one that allows you to sleep better, digest well, dial down pain and overall feel more calm and grounded. If you’ve ever left a massage feeling like you were blissfully floating on a cloud, you already know how powerful of an effect massage can have on your nervous system and your overall wellbeing. By working collaboratively together, Alex’s goal is for you to leave treatments feeling more at home in your body, with a renewed sense of empowerment in your own healing. Alex graduated from Sutherland-Chan School of Massage Therapy in 2022. For ten years prior, Alex worked in community-based services supporting people living with trauma and mental health across various intersections of marginalization. Through her work as a feminist counsellor and advocate at a shelter for survivors of interpersonal violence/abuse, she saw what a tremendous positive impact bodywork can have on ones’ physical and mental health. She realized she needed to learn about the body, and how to treat the body, so she could treat the person as a whole. Alex holds an Honours Bachelor degree in Psychology and a diploma from the Assaulted Women’s and Children’s Counsellor and Advocate program. Alex weaves together her experience in mental health and counselling with her knowledge and skills in hands-on treatment of soft tissues and joints in order to create a massage therapy treatment that is holistic and effective. She strives to create an inclusive, trauma-informed, body-neutral and trans-inclusive environment, as all bodies deserve dignified care.
