New schedule announcement!!!

I’m so excited to share that I’ll be starting at Flow Lymphatic Health Clinic this week! It’s an amazing opportunity to put into practice all the new skills I learned in my Vodder Level 3 course, and to learn from practitioners who’ve been using this technique for years.

Don’t worry, my availability at Healing Tree isn’t changing! I’ll still be there Monday to Wednesday as usual.

I’ll also still be popping in for the occasional Saturday, check the links in my bio for my most up to date availability :)

I recently completed my Vodders Level 3 Training in MLD & CDT - but what does that even mean? Swipe to find out!

What is MLD & CDT? You might see these acronyms, what do they mean?
MLD stands for Manual Lymphatic Drainage. It’s a technique your practitioner may use to stimulate your lymphatic system and help move lymph throughout your body. It’s usually relaxing and involves light, gentle pressure.
CDT stands for Combined Decongestive Therapy,
the gold standard treatment for lymphedema. It combines MLD, compression bandaging, skin care, exercise, and self-care.

as of the beginning of July you can find me full time at the lovely 🥰

I’m already there a couple days a week but will be fully moving my practice over at the end of the month - thank you Talia for creating such a lovely space and welcoming me in! And a big thanks to all the peeps at Myodetox Chinatown for being a part of my RMT journey so far 💕😊

SUPER excited to announce I will starting at Myodetox next Monday!! Will you be booking in with me? LMK in the poll below👀

That’s right - ya girl is moving to Vancouver!! If you’re one of my clients, I’ve either already talked to you, or you should have received an email in your inbox last week with the big news. 🤗 My last day of practicing will be January 26th, 2024. Stay tuned for moving updates and what I’m SURE will be some sappy posts about my time here in ON. 🥰

While Pepper is INCREDIBLY cute he is an absolutely terrible Thai Massage assistant 😤 -2/10 can’t even change a pillow case and is a HUGE distraction!!! How am I supposed to bring my dirty laundry up stairs when he’s looking at me like that??!!

If you haven’t met Pepper yet he is John (our osteopath’s) newest service dog in training. Check out for more info on the great work they do🥰

Hello! Thought I would pop on here and reintroduce myself since it’s been a little bit😬. My names Abbey, I’m an RMT in Waterloo, and I just celebrated 2 years of being in practice! Turns out once you’ve got a full schedule of treating it’s significantly harder to make time to post on your instagram🥲
I make absolutely no promises to be as active on here as when I first started but my goal is to be around at least a little bit more✌🏻
Hope everyone has a lovely day!

“So, why massage therapy?”

This is a question I get asked a lot and honestly, great question! Here’s how I usually answer it:)

In high school I was fascinated by anatomy and biology, it’s crazy how the human body works! I knew I wanted to continue to study those subjects somehow but I wasn’t sure what that path looked like. My grandma was a massage therapist so I always knew this profession was an option but I also considered going into forensics and even looked into being a mortician (kind of crazy I know😱 but Abby from NCIS was really my idol at that point).

I took two years off after high school: one to work full time and save up and the second to travel. I hung out in Europe and Thailand for while ✈️🌴. I am so happy I took those years off, not only was it an amazing experience but it gave me the time to figure out what I really wanted to do.

So in April 2018 when my plane touched down in Canada (in the middle of an ice storm no less) I applied to start school at the Canadian College of Massage and Hydrotherapy (CCMH) that fall and the rest is history!

I’m so happy I chose this profession. Not only do I have a tangible skill that I can pack up with me and take anywhere but I get to interact with amazing (living😉) people everyday. I get to share my love of anatomy and see the results of my work first hand, sometimes immediately, which is so rewarding. I love the freedom of being able to choose how I practice as well, what I want to focus on, and where and when I work.

And that is why I chose

Big shoutout to for posting her ‘why’ and inspiring me to do the same💕
