About Carmen
I graduated with honors from M H Vicars School of Massage Therapy. I have been a member in good standing with the Massage Therapist Association of Alberta since 2015, and have been steadily working and training ever since. Over the course of my career I have witnessed the power of touch first hand, and I believe it is a sacred way to communicate, connect and heal. There are so many levels on which we feel pain, it’s never just one muscle that hurts, just one tender spot. It’s never just the body, just the mind, just the circumstances or stress. It’s everything as a whole, and everything needs to be addressed.
I have taken professional development courses in prenatal massage, kinetic massage, hot stone massage, craniosacral therapy and cupping. I use many techniques and approaches ranging from relaxation to deeper tissue work, from focusing on silent, peaceful massages, to ones that incorporate movement, client feedback and education. I blend my modalities to address the goals of the unique body and mind of the person I am working with.
I offer full family care, specializing in nervous system relaxation. Stress and mental health management are some of my favorite areas to explore in treatment. I believe massage therapy, with its offer of touch, connection, care and space, can help us heal in physical, energetic and emotional ways. The longer I work in this field, the more evidence I find that it all is truly and irrevocably connected.
My aim for my treatments is that they are deeply comforting. It is the nature of bodywork to sometimes be uncomfortable, but I believe the real work is in touching with comfort what we once thought was too sore to touch at all.
I am honored to do what I do - to touch and learn, to educate and help people live more comfortably. I welcome everyone who comes through our doors and I deeply respect the journey we are each on.
