I hope everyone is getting some much needed rest this long weekend before we all settle in to our fall routines! 🎃
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Just a friendly reminder that my hours will begin to shift to more evening & weekend availability as I return to nursing school in the fall.🤓
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As my school schedule is constantly evolving, keep your eyes open for last minute openings and feel free to reach out if you’d like to be put on a wait list for a specific date/time! 🗓

Wow, I wish I got a small business photo shoot sooner, the images .ella.creative has captured completely demonstrate the essence of my business and will allow me to communicate better with you folks on here! I’m looking forward to sharing more with you! If you also own a small business you should definitely hit up Kim for a photo shoot! 📸

We are just around the corner for the busiest season for massage therapists! I highly recommend pre-booking appointments to avoid disappointment. 🤗
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As you may know, I am also a nursing student and this will actually be my first semester in person for this degree! Unfortunately that means I have reduced daytime availability but increased evenings and weekends. As I familiarize myself with my school schedule, more appointments will be added online when possible.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don’t see a time that works for you? Send me a message with dates and times you’d like to come in and I’ll put you on a wait list for when cancellations arise!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As always, thank you for trusting me as your RMT, I am so grateful for the opportunity to help you out! 🙌🏼

The sun is out, days are longer, and snow is finally melted. It seems like the perfect time of year to settle into a new routine! Here’s my self care checklist for the month of May, what are some ways you’re prioritizing yourself in this season? 🌞 🌺 🤗

As we enter 2022, here is a list of protocol I am using to keep you safe and help you relax during your treatment!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Masks required for both the RMT and client during the entirety of our treatment. I switch out my mask between each client to help with germ control
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Fresh, clean linens & towels used for each treatment
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Room sanitized between each appointment with focus to high touch areas including door handles & face cradle
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨I ask that you arrive no more than 5 minutes before your appointment time and to text when you arrive to reduce contact time between clients and to allow enough time to properly sanitize the space between treatments
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Hand sanitizer available to use upon entry to the space and a sink is available for you to properly wash your hands with single-use towels to dry
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ HEPA Air filter in the room to keep the air as clean as possible. I also open the window between clients when it isn’t as chilly out!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Your reminder email includes a self-screening survey for you to complete before your treatment. Please cancel your appointment if you are feeling unwell.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ My entire household is triple vaccinated & up to date with our flu shots & I recommend you do the same!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hopefully this list offers you comfort in knowing that I am doing all I can to keep you safe during these uncertain times. Two years into the pandemic, I think we can all safely say that self care is of the utmost importance right now and I am incredibly grateful you have chosen me to be a part of your self care routine 🥰
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Happy New Year folks!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I cannot thank you enough for choosing me as your RMT and supporting a local home business this year! I hope the space and the massages have been a place of comfort, relaxation, and grounding for you in a year when we needed it the most. 🤗
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to work with such wonderful clients. It brings me so much joy to be able to be a part of your wellness and healing and I love celebrating all your wins along the way!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Cheers to another great year of staying hydrated, getting your stretches in, and a whole lot of self care! 🥳 ✨

5 great upper body/neck stretches

💪🏼 Photo 1&2 are FANTASTIC for upper trapezius & levator scapulae. Make sure to bring the bottom arm down and use your breath to get deeper into the stretch!

💪🏼 Photo 3 is for your scalenes! These small but mighty neck muscles work soooo hard. Make sure to give them some love! You can gently hold on to the side of your head and walk the arm out to the side to increase the stretch

💪🏼 Photo 4 is for your upper back, primarily for your middle traps & rhomboids! Picture your scapula pulling further apart as you breathe in to this one

💪🏼 Photo 5 is a personal fave, for your pecs! This can be done at a wall or on the floor. Make sure your shoulder stays far away from your ear!

💪🏼 Photo 6 is another great stretch for the rhomboids and will get into your obliques as well! This is one of my favourites to do after a long day at the computer!

Give these a whirl and let me know what you think! ✨ 🤗

Signing off of IG until September 7, 2021! If you have any questions about bookings please contact me via email or text message! (Link in bio 📲) enjoy your week! 🌞

Anyone else just soaking up those last days of summer?! 💐🌞
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here is a friendly reminder that I will be returning to school full time in the fall and will be working reduced hours as I work towards my nursing degree. This also means I am no longer accepting new clients.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As we progress through the end of 2021, I will post last-minute availability through my social media stories and they can be booked on a first come, first serve basis. 📲
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you need to get a massage sooner than I can offer, I am more than happy to refer you to one of my incredible colleagues in the profession and I promise you’ll be in good hands 🙌
