I am fully vaccinated.
Appointment:
Please allow an additional 15 minutes before and 15 minutes after the massage treatment for setting up, filling out health history/consent forms, the pre-massage intake conversation, as well as providing home-care suggestions and packing/cleaning.
Treatment approach:
I graduated from a 2,200-hour Massage Therapy program in 2018 (read "About Michèle Somer " to learn more about me) and my approach to massage is one of a holistic, therapeutic nature, taking into account the condition of each individual and their specific health and wellness goals. I am a member in good standing of Natural Health Practitioners of Canada. As described in the consent form (that is filled out in-person before your massage treatment), you have the right to stop your treatment at any time and you have the right to modify your treatment as allows within the scope of massage therapy. Bringing up any questions/concerns/feedback regarding your health and massage treatment before, during, and after the massage is a crucial part of how I can best support you with your health and wellness goals.
Descriptions of the massage treatments are found on the main page, here.
Mutual respect:
I consider it an honour to be part of someone`s health and wellness journey; this trust means a lot. I recognize I am coming into a home/location/space that belongs to you, and is unfamiliar to me. It is very important that everyone feels comfortable and safe.
Harassment and/or abusive or inappropriate comments/behaviour will not be tolerated.
