Her advanced training in craniosacral therapy complements her lymphatic work, supporting nervous system regulation, subtle structural alignment, and deep integrative healing. Adrienne holds a Bachelor’s degree in Health Studies from Queen’s University and completed her Massage Therapy training in Toronto in 2017, with hospital-based specializations.
