As a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT), Janie uses hands-on bodywork and movement to release restrictive tension that may exist within the body’s connective tissues and bring awareness to repetitive patterns that keep us stuck. When our tissues are resilient, yielding, fluid, vibrant and receptive, we can shift towards a more optimal state of alignment and more infinite possibility of health and wellness.
