ABOUT LUCY

Lucy graduated with honors from ICT Kikkawa College (Toronto, Ontario) and earned her Registered Massage Therapist designation in 2008. She received her RMT professional license from the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario (CMTO), following 2200 hours of practice and rigorous clinical examinations. Training in Ontario means that a regulatory body oversees massage therapy as a health profession. This is similar to physicians, psychologists, and occupational therapists. RMTs must adhere to a Standard of Practice and stricter standards regarding things like record-keeping, just like doctors.

Advanced medical knowledge and training: Canadian massage therapists are among the highest-trained in the world. Getting qualified requires far more school and clinical hours than California's curriculum. Since RMTs are regulated, the curriculum focuses on anatomy and physiology, emphasizing pathology, rehabilitation, and manual skills. Lucy has continued her knowledge since then, and her focus has been on evidence-based courses.  

Experience:
In her practice, Lucy has worked in tandem with fellow skilled practitioners such as Physicians, Sports Medicine Doctors, Physical Therapists, Chiropractors, Osteopaths, Naturopathic Doctors, Traditional Chinese Doctors, and Personal Trainers. This shared knowledge and experience have enabled her to treat a wide range of conditions such as repetitive strain injuries, nerve impingement, tendonitis, fibromyalgia, general tension, acute and chronic conditions, depression, anxiety, pre and postnatal issues, and general pain management.

Technique:
Lucy is often described as an intuitive deep-tissue therapist with a gentle approach to the body. Her style must be experienced; she uses various techniques, making it a unique experience. Her massage techniques range from postural assessment to trigger point therapy, deep tissue massage, neuromuscular therapy, and rehabilitation.

Safe space:
I have created a safe and non-judgmental environment for all. I provide a trans-friendly, body-positive space where you can relax and nurture yourself. Each appointment is by appointment only. I've blocked enough time before and after your appointment to ensure no one else will arrive. 

Personal commitment:
I have a personal commitment to professional growth through continued education. An active lifestyle and healthy eating habits by adapting, a positive mind, being present as much as possible, and being active, which involves weightlifting, Pilates, cycling, rock climbing, skiing, and hiking. An avid traveler, she pursues healthful adventures wherever she goes.

She is passionate about health care and aims to help you improve your life physically, mentally, and emotionally.
