If you are Brand New to our clinic, please choose one of the following appointment types. Our Initial Appointments will be a bit different and will include a review of your intake form, a discussion about your primary concerns, any assessments your therapists need to perform, a review on any possible risks or precautions, your goals for your treatment and they will guide you through how to get settled on the treatment table. At the end of your treatment, your therapist will give you any necessary home care including stretches and/or strengthening that may help you on your journey. Don't worry, your therapist will do their best to ensure that you receive your whole hands on appointment time. You are encouraged to arrive about 5 minutes early to use the washroom, take a breathe and get acquainted with the clinic!

Each treatment is tailored to the individual patient's wants and needs to achieve their desired outcome; whether it's treatment of a specific injury or condition or purely for relaxation.

Therapeutic massage utilizes Swedish massage techniques along with trigger point therapy, deep tissue therapy and fascial release in varying depths of applied pressure to alleviate restrictions, pain and discomfort of the body's soft tissue and joints, to increase circulation and lymphatic flow.

We believe that all therapeutic treatments can be relaxing and all relaxing treatments are therapeutic.


Cupping Massage

Each cupping session incorporates static and dynamic vacuum cupping into a therapeutic massage treatment.

Cupping massage utilizes plastic and medical grade silicone vacuum cups to draw tissue, with varying amounts of suction, up and away from underlaying tissues.

This reverse pressure will help draw blood, oxygen and nutrients directly into that area while drawing stagnant circulation closer to the lymphatic system to more easily be cleaned out of the body.

The suction created, along with movement techniques, helps to break down adhesions and restrictions within tissue or between different layers of tissues.


Indie Head Massage

**Sophie is NOT accepting new clients at this time.** **New Clients please book with Eileen** An Indie Head Massage will sooth the nervous system, promote relaxation and improve tissue health, circulation and ease muscle pain. The First half of the Indie Head Massage is done without oil to invigorate and release the muscles and connective tissue in the chest, neck, face and scalp. The S... Read More

Hot Stone Massage

**Sophie is NOT accepting new clients at this time.** During your hot stone massage, smooth, flat, heated stones are placed on specific parts of your body.

Your therapist will integrate these stones into your therapeutic treat... Read More

During your hot stone massage, smooth, flat, heated stones are placed on specific parts of your body. The stones are usually made of Basalt, a type of volcanic rock that retains heat.

Stones may be placed along your back, chest, stomach, arms, legs, hands and feet.
Your therapist will integrate these stones into your therapeutic treatment using long strokes or circular movement and may leave stones stationary to work away at the trouble spots.

Hot stone therapy can help treat muscle tension and pain; reduce stress and anxiety; promote sleep and boost immunity.


Reiki Therapy

**Sophie is NOT accepting new clients at this time.** Reiki is a form of “energy medicine” that has been practiced for around 2500 years and aims to help the flow of Universal Energy or “chi” and to remove blocks in this energy, in a similar way to Traditional Chinese Acupuncture. Improving the flow of energy in the body can enable relaxation, relieve pain, speed the body’s natural healing p... Read More
