A 2018 graduate from the Canadian College of massage and hydrotherapy, Holt school of natural healing, where I studied reflexology and energy healing.

2021 I’m currently studying cranial sacral therapy, which is a gentle non invasive massage that works with the cranial bones, the spine and the sacrum. This therapy relieves stress in the body and balances the flow of cranial sacral fluid.

Our minds and bodies are not separate, the effects on one impacts the other.

I value the provisions of a continuous therapeutic approach of balance for the mind body and soul.

Deanna received her diploma from the Royal Canadian College of Massage Therapy in 2012 and has been a practicing  Registered Massage Therapist since 2013. Deanna is primarily a deep tissue therapist. Her area of specialization is in chronic complaints of the upper body. Some particular focus points in Deanna's practice include chronic

headaches, neck pain and stiffness, upper back soreness, shoulder pain, and soreness of the arms and hands. Deanna is especially skilled at targeting stubborn “knots” in the neck, shoulders and upper back, especially those that are a result of chronic postural dysfunction. Deanna’s work is typically slow, deep, methodical and specific.

She will often use trigger point release, percussive techniques, and assisted stretches, and is always happy to suggest some home-care options to further improve your outcomes. Deanna believes that with patience, even a very deep massage can be relaxing for the client. Creating a restful therapeutic

experience for you is always her goal
