The effects of massage therapy may provide physiological and psychological changes in nature.

Physiologically, when performed on a healthy person, massage therapy may increase flexibility, relaxation, and decrease stress levels. Psychologically, massage therapy may increase ones sense of well-being through therapeutic touch. Positive changes may also occur through areas of the body that have experienced trauma where swelling, restriction and pain may be present.

Massage therapy is generally recognized as an effective way of reducing or managing pain from a variety of conditions such as trauma, post-surgery, headaches, fibromyalgia, arthritis, and terminal illness.

Registered Massage Therapy with Cupping

Cupping therapy involves applying suction cups to the skin to enhance blood flow, reduce muscle tension, and promote healing. It is used to treat pain, improve circulation, and release fascial restrictions.

Common indications include musculoskeletal pain and inflammation, with minimal side effects like temporary bruising.

Registered Massage Therapy with IASTM

Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) is a therapeutic technique using specialized tools to identify and treat fascial restrictions, scar tissue, and adhesions.

The instruments help enhance tissue mobility, promote healing, and reduce pain by stimulating circulation, improving collagen remodelling, and facilitating tissue regeneration in musculoskeletal conditions.

Registered Massage Therapy with Cupping and IASTM

Combined cupping and Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) treatment involves the use of negative pressure via cupping to enhance blood flow and tissue relaxation, followed by IASTM to target fascial adhesions and muscle tightness.

This integrated approach promotes pain relief, improves mobility, and accelerates tissue healing.

Kinesiology Taping Assessment and Application

Kinesiology taping is a therapeutic technique that involves applying elastic adhesive tape to the skin. It supports muscles and joints, reduces pain, improves circulation, and enhances proprioception. The tape lifts the skin, promoting lymphatic drainage and recovery, while allowing full range of motion without restricting movement. ***Please Note: Service offered w/ treatment or as a sta...

🌈 Hello and welcome to my practice! ✨

How may I support you on your health and wellness journey?

My name is Maggie, and I’m a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) certified and in good standing with the Natural Health Practitioners of Canada (NHPC).

I began my journey as an RMT in 2010 to create positive change for myself and those who enter my practice. Since completing my 2200-hour curriculum, my focus has been centered on a clinical approach while also trusting the intuition of myself and those who share my space.

On a clinical level, I aim to provide each person I meet with an individualized, whole-body approach to support their efforts toward an improved sense of well-being. I also offer viable options for other treatments if a particular subject is outside my scope of practice.

On a deeper level, I strive to help individuals become more in tune with the connections between their mental, emotional, and physical states of well-being—if they are ready to embark on that journey.

Since completing my initial 2200 hours of training, I have continued to learn from other therapists and have committed to participating in 2 to 4 applicable courses or upgrades per year, focusing on required learning and subjects that pique my interest.

This may include (but is not limited to):

Basic and Advanced Massage Therapy
Basic and Advanced Stone Therapy
Ethics-Related Modules (every 2 years)
First Aid and CPR (every 2 years)
Musculoskeletal Cadaver Anatomy Review (my favorite subject, studied twice)
Basic and Advanced Assessment and Treatments
Myofascial Cupping
Self-Care with Critical Alignment
Infant Massage Therapy Teacher Training
Joint Play and Mobilization
Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (another favorite subject, studied 3 times)
Therapeutic Breast Massage
Kinesiology Taping
Meditation Teacher Training
Evidence-Informed Clinical Cupping for Self-Care
Basic and Advanced Evidence-Informed Clinical Cupping
Holistic Nutrition for Digestion
Active Assisted Stretching: Upper Body
Introduction to Biodynamic Fascial Integration: The Cervical-Cranial and TMJ Region
Movement Therapy and Yoga Anatomy

As of 2020, I decided to evolve my practice into something more and have since begun building the yellow brick road toward my new goal: Awakening Balance, Therapy for the Mind, Body, and Soul.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me directly. I look forward to meeting you and having you be a part of my continued journey.

Thank you for your time and interest in my therapeutic services.

Maggie Ho, RMT
