Debbie’s passion for learning about muscular pain relief began with trying to manage her own pain. Through the experience of seeking consultation from experts in many fields, Debbie realized that any repetitive body position eventually will cause discomfort. This prompted a career change and Debbie pursued and completed her RMT diploma at MH Vicars School of Massage Therapy in Calgary. ​ Central to Debbie’s philosophy as a therapist is the concept of ‘slow and steady’ approach to hypertonic (tight) tissue. In her home practice as a registered Massage Therapist, Debbie uses a creative, multi-modal approach to treat the underlying causes of her clients’ concerns. Debbie incorporates assessment, hands-on treatment and individualized education programs into her therapy practice in order to support her clients to address their specific treatment goals, often integrating elements of movement and exercise, nutrition, and self-care practices. ​ Debbie has a thorough knowledge of anatomy and physiology, orthopedic assessment, and massage techniques, and she is constantly seeking to further her knowledge. She specializes in therapeutic massage which includes relaxation, deep tissue, sports, and pregnancy (*Pre/Postnatal).
