_**STYLE: Medium to deep pressure, Swedish therapeutic and relaxation, Craniosacral, myofascial release, stretching, visceral manipulation, joint mobilizations, intraoral TMJ work.**_ Marie graduated from the Vancouver College of Massage Therapy in 2019. Her interest in massage was sparked through her yoga practice, noticing how the body and fascia would release in some poses while breathing. Similarly, her treatments incorporate elements of stretching and muscle activation (PNF, Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation) to increase range of motion and restore tissue integrity. Treatments are a blend of general Swedish with Osteopathic techniques such as Craniosacral Therapy. Marie can also treat the jaw internally with intraoral TMJ work. Her approach is alignment based, all the while knowing that the body is inherently asymmetrical due to its viscera: the heart leans to the left, the lungs are different, the right diaphragm is "bigger" and the liver below it weighs up to 2.5kg, etc. This dance of art and science, observing and letting be, makes every treatment and encounter unique. Her biggest satisfaction is for patients to feel calmer, more centred and at ease coming out of a session. **Bills To: Blue Cross, Telus eHealth insurers, Sunlife, Greenshield, Empire Life, Medavie - VAC, RCMP**
