Registered Massage Therapist • Thai Massage Instructor • Reiki Master

Hi - I'm Jacquelynn!

My Journey

My relationship with pain began at just three years old, when I started experiencing severe migraines. I remember describing them to my parents as hammers pounding inside my skull or bombs going off in my head. Over time, I developed an unusually high pain tolerance—and a deep empathy for others who suffer silently.

At 18, I walked away from a motorcycle accident with pins-and-needles in my spine and numbness in my legs. I lived for years with untreated dislocations and nerve damage. Despite looking healthy on the outside, my body was screaming on the inside. When I started to feel electrical shocks down my spine, I knew I couldn’t ignore it anymore.

What saved me—again and again—was movement. Yoga, at first, gave me temporary relief. Then, in massage therapy school, I started to understand how targeted, therapeutic approaches could reshape posture and reduce pain. I became my own test subject, trying every stretch and technique I learned.

By the time I graduated and became an RMT in 2021, I had lived the kind of pain many clients come in with. When I began studying Thai massage in 2022, something shifted. The healing potential of this tradition resonated deeply with me—so much that I now teach it. In 2023, I trained in Reiki and became a Reiki Master. It opened new pathways for healing—not just in the physical body, but in the energetic and emotional body too.

My Mission

My mission is to help people who know pain—people who have tried everything and need someone who truly understands what they’re going through. I take a collaborative approach to care: I work with you, not just on you.

I blend therapeutic massage with ancient Thai techniques, customized stretching, strengthening, and energetic healing. Whether you're navigating physical injury, chronic stress, or emotional overload, I draw from my diverse toolbox to support your healing process.

Every treatment is tailored to your body’s needs in the moment. My goal is to help you feel empowered in your body, long after you leave the table.

My Philosophy

I believe pain is a teacher—but healing doesn’t need to be painful.

My work is rooted in presence, intuition, and a deep respect for the body. I value evidence-based knowledge, but I also honour ancient wisdom. I trust what I feel in my hands, what I hear in your words, and what your body is telling us through tension, breath, and movement.

Wellness is not a one-size-fits-all experience. It is a relationship—between body and mind, between therapist and client, and between intention and action.

I bring my whole self into the space: trained, attuned, and committed to creating a safe environment for you to feel supported, seen, and at ease.
