While at my job as a pipe fitter many years ago, I injured my neck due to the strenuous nature of the job. At my bosses urging, I booked with an RMT. I was initially apprehensive as I felt massage was a luxury and I was not aware of its therapeutic value. My therapist was a male which had me mildly apprehensive. I decided to go ahead with the treatment and in doing so, it changed the course of my life. Not only was the RMT effective, he was polite and professional which put me at ease. I was shocked that one massage could make such a difference with how I felt, that within days, I knew what I needed to do. Not long after, I enrolled in school, with a goal of offering people the same therapeutic relief that I had received . So I started my career 18 years ago in the small town of Brantford Ontario, in a massage clinic treating all types of injuries. From there my love of snowboarding drew me to Banff Alberta to work at the Fairmont Banff Springs hotel. This experience was very helpful in learning to exceed clients’ expectations. From there I continued my adventure to Whistler BC, at the Scandinave Spa where my experience emphasized serenity and peace. Now I am excited to put all of these experiences together to begin Against the Grain with my partner who I am continually learning new massage techniques with and ways to enrich my clients experiences. Thank you for your support, we look forward to working with you.
