June is not a massage therapist. June was brought to us by one of our massage therapist colleagues who wanted her to get a chance to tell her story because she’s so incredible. June has a background in nursing, caregiving, and dialysis and eventually she got into palliative care which is how we got the honour of meeting her. Andre brought her to us just weeks after his mother passed because June was his angel on earth that made his mother’s last days just a little easier.

Victoria is an athletic therapist and a multidisciplinary clinic owner in a smaller town in Ontario. She reached out looking to see if we knew any therapists looking for work as her clinic is booming and the demand for massage therapists is high. It got us into a talk about the benefits of being a massage therapist or body worker in a rural community. Victoria talks about how amazing it is to be a part of her community and all of the perks of life outside of a big city. Any RMT looking for a change of pace could easily walk into a full practice and if they are a joiner, a new sense of belonging and community that they may not get in a city.
