Hi! I'm Heather. After I achieved a BA and and MA in planning and municipal affairs, I shifted my focus... and went on to happily graduate from the Sutherland-Chan massage school in 2003. I have practiced massage therapy in chiropractic and physiotherapy clinics in Pickering-Ajax, as well as providing on-site massage in corporate offices and at special events. I moved to Balanced Health Care shortly after we opened in May 2006. After a year, I decided to confirm my commitment to the practice, and make life easier (!), by moving into the neighbourhood. My daughter and I have settled in, and love it here.
I enjoy working with other dedicated natural healthcare professionals in our community-based clinic, and the opportunity to help people with all kinds of massage and health-related issues, from arthritis, to stress, to sports injuries. I have a special interest in treating seniors, and people living with nervous system injuries, as well as pre-natal and post-partum mothers (and fathers!). I have taken an extension course in the use of passive stretching and tractioning to reduce pain and stiffness in the hips, back, and neck. I also have been developing my knowledge and skills in aromatherapy and the use of essential plant oils to aid in relaxation and healing of the skin, muscles and other soft tissues. Fundamentally, my goal is to meet my clients' needs with a combination of knowledge, trust, and intuitive touch.
I look forward to meeting you at Balanced Health Care and round about in the neighbourhood. Please call if you have any questions about how massage can help you or a friend or family member.
