Leslie Brown’s genuine passion to help people achieve optimum health lead her to a career in Massage Therapy. Leslie graduated from the Canadian College of Massage and Hydrotherapy in 2010, and has over 10 years of experience working as part of health care teams in both physiotherapy and chiropractic clinics.

Massage therapy has been proven to reduce stress, increase relaxation, reduce pain and muscular tension, and treat a wide variety of acute and chronic conditions. Headaches, neck and back pain, limited range of motion, and tendinitis (e.g. tennis elbow), are all common conditions treated effectively by massage therapy. Massage therapy can also be used as part of a preventative care program - this includes sports training, injury prevention, ongoing stress management and more! Leslie offers a variety of massage techniques designed to meet each client’s individual needs, whether relaxation or therapeutic, to provide these results.

Leslie continues to work with clients of all ages, backgrounds and conditions, but has special interest with a clinical focus on:

• Prenatal treatments - treatment can be effective in all 3 trimesters, with modifications made dependent on the client’s health and symptoms experienced. Leslie’s pregnancy table allows for treatment while lying face down (such a treat!), or sidelying when appropriate. Common complaints during pregnancy treated by massage therapy include: back and hip pain, calf spasms, carpal tunnel syndrome, and headaches. Postnatal in-home visits are also offered.

• Neck/shoulder pain & headaches - treatment of neck, shoulder and TMJ (jaw) muscles due to stress, tension, or overuse can be very effective in reducing neck pain and frequency of headaches.

Her philosophy of care focuses on client education for treatment and prevention, while providing quality client care in a safe and comfortable environment.

Harold Duggan M.A., R.M.T is a graduate of the Canadian College of Massage and Hydrotherapy, Canada’s oldest Massage Therapy school. He is trained in Swedish Massage techniques as well as advanced massage techniques and Thai massage. Although Harold uses the complete range of skills he was trained in. depending upon the client and situation, he aims to move into broad deep slow moving pressure. The intention of this to stretch fascia and muscles, and to introduce movement into joints. Massage induces many health benefits: decreased pain, improved circulation, increased range of motion, and most importantly an increase in your ability to enjoy living. Harold looks forward to working in a planned fashion toward your long term goals, or to simply bring some much needed relaxation into your day.

Thai Massage

Harold has trained with the Toronto School of Thai Massage. Historically, Thai is a massage style that is approximately 2500 years old, originating in India and then adopted by the people of what is now Thailand. It precedes any documentation of Yoga Asanas beyond a small variety of seated positions and tree pose. For this reason Harold refers to it by the name Traditional Thai Massage, rather than the recent name Thai Yoga Massage. The aim of Thai Massage is to use a variety of techniques to encourage fascia restrictions to open. Once this occurs, muscles are free to come to their optimal length and health. While Thai Massage methods are quite different than Swedish Massage, it is extremely effective at bringing about all the same health benefits.
