Massage Therapy
Relax, recover, and rejuvenate. Discover our range of tailored treatments delivered by our registered massage therapists (RMT) to soothe, relieve tension, balance your mind and body, and aid in athletic recovery.
Energy Healing
A gentle and grounding approach that works with the body’s energetic system to support emotional balance, mental clarity, and deep relaxation. Energy healing can help reduce stress, regulate the nervous system, and restore harmony.
TCM Acupuncture
Based in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), acupuncture involves the insertion of sterile ultra-thin needles to strategic pressure points on the body, triggering the body’s natural healing response. Enhance mental clarity, increase energy, reduce pain and tension, address sleep issues, and many more health concerns.
Lymphatic Drainage Massage
This light, rhythmic massage technique helps stimulate the lymphatic system to reduce swelling, flush out toxins, and support immune function. Especially beneficial post-surgery or during detox and recovery.
Chiropractic Care
Move better, alleviate and prevent pain, and improve overall functioning. Our chiropractors are evidence-informed experts in assessing, diagnosing, and treating various forms of neuromusculoskeletal conditions and issues that affect your body's movement. Diagnose and treat issues with your spine, muscles, joints, and nervous system health.
Custom Made Orthotics
Custom-made orthotics are personalized medical devices intended to provide targeted support and alleviate discomfort in various body parts, including the feet, ankles, knees, and lower back.
Custom orthotics are suitable for many individuals, from athletes seeking enhanced performance to those with chronic foot pain or structural abnormalities. They are particularly beneficial for people who spend long hours on their feet, have unique foot shapes, or require specific support due to medical conditions.
DEXA Scan
A DEXA scan is the gold standard for body composition analysis. DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) scan is used to measure body composition, including body fat percentage, lean muscle mass, and bone mineral content. You'll receive a comprehensive breakdown body composition, including a detailed report on regional analyses (e.g., arms, legs, trunk) and symmetry assessments, which can be useful for identifying muscle imbalances, health concerns, or tracking changes over time. Receive in-depth analysis of key body composition metrics with the world's safest and most accurate body composition technology.
Dietetics
Find food freedom and develop an abundant relationship with food that supports your physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. Working within a weight-inclusive, Health at Every Size (HAES) framework of care, our registered dietitian will conduct a nutrition assessment and work with your unique preferences and health needs to develop a science-backed nutrition plan.

Johanna Friedrich RMT
Rob Hunter RMT
How Did You Get Into Health & Wellness:
Rob first entered the health and wellness field as a personal trainer. He enjoyed helping people exercise and improve their health, while also keeping himself active after playing sports in his younger years. Over time, Rob developed an interest in helping people get out of pain and coaching proper exercise techniques to reduce the chances of injury. When COVID-19 began and gyms were closed, he decided to return to school and pursue a career as a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT). This decision proved to be a great one, as Rob now has more tools to help people relieve pain and return to their exercise routines.
What Does Wellness Mean to Rob:
For Rob, wellness is about finding balance between health, work, personal responsibilities, and fun. If one area is given too much focus, the others will suffer, leading to a decline in overall wellness. Although it can be difficult to maintain balance, Rob believes the key factors in maintaining his wellness are family time, exercise, and healthy eating. By prioritizing these aspects, Rob finds that both his body and mind feel healthy and happy. Additionally, surrounding himself with others who share his values plays a significant role in staying on track with his wellness journey.
What to Expect in a Treatment:
Rob begins each treatment with a brief intake to understand the client’s goals for the session. The more collaboration there is during the treatment, the better the results will be. Since everyone has different preferences, Rob ensures that both client and therapist are on the same page before starting. His treatment style focuses on reducing muscle tension and relieving pain. Rob typically applies medium to firm pressure, but always checks with his clients about their preferences before starting. He also takes the time to educate clients on the areas he’s working on and how to manage any muscle pain moving forward.
How You Will Feel After Treatment:
After the treatment, clients can expect to feel relieved of muscle pain, refreshed, and relaxed.

Nicole Limpin RMT
How did You get into Health & Wellness:
Nicole’s relationship with health and wellness is an ongoing journey. Understanding that every body and lifestyle is unique has guided her in customizing what works and what doesn’t for herself. Her introduction to massage therapy came through her mother, and she immediately felt a deep connection with it. Keeping an open mind and a strong interest in learning about health and wellness has allowed her to connect her mind with her body, leading to progress in her own journey.
What Does Wellness Mean to Nicole:
To Nicole, wellness means prioritizing the mind, body, and spirit. The connection between these three elements is just as important as each element on its own. For Nicole, her self-care routine includes, but is not limited to, morning and evening skincare rituals, nightly body scan meditation, walking her dog, and going to the gym. While these activities may not resonate with everyone, wellness is ultimately about the journey of discovering what works best for you.
What to Expect in a Session/Treatment:
In a session with Nicole, you can expect your specific needs to be met. However, it is important to understand that pain and tension may not dissipate after just one session. Massage therapy is not only about manipulating the soft tissues to relieve tension and address knots but also about building a strong rapport with your therapist. This relationship helps to improve daily activities and reduce the frequency and intensity of stress and tension. When working with Nicole, clients can expect feedback during and/or after sessions, recommendations for home care (such as stretches or strengthening exercises), and a treatment plan designed to prioritize long-term goals with massage therapy.
How You Will Feel After Treatment:
After treatment, clients can expect relief from stress and tension, and will feel well taken care of. As follow-up sessions progress, the rapport between therapist and client builds, leading to noticeable improvements in posture, daily activities, and overall wellness.

For Antony, true wellness is about creating a sustainable lifestyle that allows one to show up as their best self in both professional and personal life.
What to Expect in a Session/Treatment:
During a session with Antony, clients can expect a customized approach tailored to meet their specific needs—whether it’s relaxation or recovery. Antony blends various therapeutic techniques, including Swedish massage, cupping, hydrotherapy, and aromatherapy. For athletes or those with deeper muscle tension, treatments like deep tissue massage and Thai techniques are employed to enhance mobility and relieve tightness. The treatments not only provide physical relief but also aim to restore balance to both the mind and body, leaving clients feeling refreshed and revitalized.
How Clients Will Feel After Treatment:
After a session with Antony, clients can expect to feel deeply relaxed, with reduced muscle tension and improved circulation. Many clients report immediate relief from stress and discomfort, as well as enhanced mobility and flexibility. Depending on the techniques used, clients may experience a sense of lightness, improved posture, and an overall heightened sense of well-being. If deep tissue or more intensive techniques were applied, mild soreness may occur, similar to the sensation after a workout, but this typically subsides within a day or two. Hydration and rest will help maximize the benefits of the treatment, allowing the body to fully absorb the therapeutic effects.
