B.E.S.T. Massage Therapist, Waterloo

Get faster,
longer lasting results.

Offering a combination of Massage Therapy, B.E.S.T. and Energy Codes we get to the root cause of the pain, symptom, or condition, allowing you to get healthy, stay strong & focused, and excel in whatever you put your mind to.

Did you know we hold stress in our bodies?
There is a physical, emotional, & energetic component to healing. If you don’t address ALL aspects, it can resurface again, or continue to manifest and increase further issues & injuries.
When we combine these components we eliminate the source of the issue and significantly reduce the likelihood of your pain or symptoms resurfacing.
If ever.

I go beyond the typical RMT treatments into
Energetic balancing
of the body, enabling a whole
mind-body connection.

My goal for you is to be able to handle stress, pain, injuries and overwhelm at all times. Not just during my office hours.

I treat you PLUS I teach you tools that you can use on a regular, or as needed basis, so  you can take more control of your own health & wellbeing. 
Taking ownership of what’s going on in your own body is key to not only healing, but breaking away the protective personality you’ve built to survive with.

I expand your understanding and awareness of the Energy flowing within you so we can remove any stress interference - which causes the issue of complaint in the first place. This helps you become aware of where and how you’re holding stress, which is also the answer of how to eliminate it.

When your mind & body have a solid foundation, we can then also dig deeper and unblock any limiting, subconscious beliefs standing in the way of you smashing your goals.

International Clients Welcome!

B.E.S.T. & Energy Codes can be done remotely! So if you’re out of town, out of country, or stuck at home in bed - I’ve got you too!

Sidelines Suck...

…Let's Get You Off Them

This was me a few years ago with an ankle injury. I used the tools I teach to increase the effectiveness of my physiotherapy treatments and help manage the pain, increase range of motion, and get back on the field faster, stronger, and ready to play!

There can be multiple reasons you're on the sidelines... But ONE reason to get off them - you want back in the game.

If you're competitive, hungry to play, and willing to do the work…. LET’S GO !!!

“I leave with all my stress having melted away but also with a better insight to what my body is telling me.”

"I feel calmer on the field. Definitely more focused."

"Hey, thanks for a really good massage and B.E.S.T. treatment. I had a GREAT sleep last night, and my balance in yoga today was spot on. Really, seriously, thanks for taking care of me."

"You are awesome! Full range of motion, little pain. Thank you so much!!"

Introducing—

Bio-Energetic Synchronization Technique (B.E.S.T.)

  • B.E.S.T. integrates the healer within you.

    B.E.S.T. stands for Bio-Energetic Synchronization Technique and is a gentle whole-body technique that addresses stress and promotes balance in the body. It helps to re-establish the full healing potential of your body. It is a system that helps address the cause of the issue rather than just symptoms.

    B.E.S.T. is an active healing procedure: when you're consciously involved in letting go of the stress pattern that you are stuck in, you will sustain the benefit of the balancing much longer than if you just lay on the table and expect someone to “fix” you.

    By using pressure point therapy on key areas of the body in specific sequences, clinical experience has shown that your body will begin to feel better, as well as begin to repair and rebuild. By utilizing this process, we can learn to maintain this balance in the long term.

  • Short answer: Your glutes will be less painful when I dig my elbow into them 😉 And, your body will be better prepared to heal itself after the massage.

    Longer answer: We all stress, and some of us manage it better than others. This stress builds up in our bodies (aka stuck energy) affecting one or more of the many systems we have (Musculoskeletal, Endocrine, Respiratory, Nervous, etc) and then it creates physical symptoms; muscle tension, pain, tendonitis, headaches, upset digestion, anxiety, fatigue, etc

    Example: Muscle tension is controlled by your subconscious brain, so when you’re stuck in a Fight or Flight nervous response, you cannot consciously relax those muscles – believe me, I’ve tried! Many of us have…

    By doing B.E.S.T. we can directly engage the Autonomic Nervous System (subcon brain) and remove the stress pattern of interference causing the (unnecessary) muscle tension. And BAM! the muscles relax.

    Conclusion: It enables you to be in a more relaxed state, leading to a more effective treatment with longer lasting results.

    However, if you did a crazy heavy leg day at the gym and can barely walk the next day – the workout is typically the reason for your pain. But B.E.S.T. can help with that too 😉

  • Whether having a treatment in conjunction with a massage or on it’s own the procedure is the same, With remote sessions I do the muscle testing for you.

    Using muscle testing, I learn where the interference (aka stress) in your body is coming from. I will palpate specific pressure points on various areas of your body and wait for the two points to synchronize with each other (meaning your brain is properly communicating with the left & right sides of your body). I then muscle test again to confirm your conscious & subconscious are no longer affected by that specific stress.

    This process is repeated until there are no more issues in priority, meaning, your body is optimally balanced and working at peak potential for healing to occur.

    Treatments can take anywhere from 4-25 min. An average treatment takes 15-20 min.

    During your session time we also review goals, exercises, and homecare.

TWENTY THREE years of practice and going strong! Self employed since 2008. I LOVE being my own boss!!

As an athlete for even longer, I’ve had my share of injuries and I know what it's like to sit on the bench while your teammates are playing hard. I’m a good cheerleader, but I’d much rather be on the field. Competition is in my blood. Which is why I work so hard at getting you back to where YOU want to be. From World Cups or backyard shenanigans with your kids, to emergency calls, long office days, or sitting in patrol cars, I’ve got you covered.
No matter our lifestyle, we all stress. Regardless of where yours comes from it will impact you in some way. I know that the principles (and treatments) with B.E.S.T. will help you manage stress and excel in life.

So whether you are an elite athlete or someone who struggles with a flight of stairs, I’m confident I can help facilitate you into living your BEST life.
We’ve got this!!
