My Journey Changer

The moment that started it all! When I was 16 I had a wonderful group of friends, there were seven of us girls that were really close. When seven, sixteen year old girls are all friends, there is bound to be a bit of drama, and perhaps an argument or two. There was one girl and I that were working through something or other (I truly don't remember the what or why of our argument, it was almost 14 years ago!) and we happened to take the same bus home on the afternoon I had a massage booked. We silently gave each other glances and never spoke a word to each other the whole ride. I was mad that this was going to ruin my massage, I was really looking forward to getting one. I had been working at a fast food place at the time and I had gotten a massage every chance I got. I walked to the chiropractor clinic that my massage therapist was housed at, all the while thinking about how mad I was. 

And then I had a life changing treatment. The massage I had was amazing, it allowed me to meditate and reconnect with myself; while helping to release tension in my back, neck, and arms. An incredible thing happened afterwards, I walked home with a wonderful smile on my face. I felt no more animosity towards my friend, or anything else for that matter. I realised that if I could help someone else feel that way, no matter what was going on in their life, it would be a dream come true. That was when I knew that this was the path I was meant to take. 

Peter Pesek was the massage therapist that I saw, he has, unfortunately for me, moved back to Ontario. He helped to shape the therapist that I am, and the treatments I love to give. To him, I am very grateful!

Massage Unplugged

With the amount of multitasking that we do on a day to day, minute to minute basis, sometimes it is really nice to be unplugged from our devices and allow ourselves to be free of having to do anything other than enjoy receiving a healing treatment. This is why we always ask to have phones turned off or muted during a treatment. I know that if I hear my phone, what ever I am doing becomes less important and my curiosity takes over, (this is why my phone is also on silent when a client comes in for a treatment). The same generally happens with everyone, and that's typically when your massage stops being as relaxing as it should be, and thoughts and plans creep back into your awareness.

Massage at Omnia Wellness (especially Fusion Massage) is really geared towards time you get to take for self reflection, meditation, and giving you the chance to rest your body, mind, and spirit. This allows you to get the most healing out of a treatment by allowing a specialist to fully respect and care for your body, all while being able to let go of everything else in the world. There is nothing else that you can do when you are lying on a massage table other than relax and enjoy!!
