Heather (she/her) is a Registered Massage Therapist and graduate of Sutherland-Chan School of Massage Therapy. Her approach is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves access to compassionate, body-informed care. A strong advocate for body autonomy, Heather is committed to making each treatment a collaborative and empowering experience.

Her clinical style combines deep tissue work, myofascial release (MFR), joint mobilizations, intra-oral TMJ massage, positional release techniques, and sports massage techniques. This flexible approach allows her to effectively support a wide range of needs—from perinatal care and menopause symptom management to chronic pain, nerve pathologies, neurodivergent sensory regulation, and grief-related tension. Whether you're recovering from an injury, navigating a life transition, or seeking a more grounded relationship with your body, Heather creates space for your goals, your pace, and your “why.”

Her treatments are always adaptable to the present moment because healing isn’t one-size-fits-all—and neither is care.

Special Interests:

Pregnancy and post natal care, including diastasis recti and scar work

Menopause management

Trauma-informed care

Nerve pathologies

Therapeutic exercise and purposeful movement

You can book with Heather on:

Monday to Wednesday
8am - 1pm

* Trigger points / muscle tension syndromes

🔹 SPORTS & REHABILITATION
