Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is the manipulation of soft tissues of the body including, muscles, connective tissues, tendons, ligaments and joints. Massage Therapy is a clinically-oriented healthcare option that helps alleviate the discomfort associated with everyday and occupational stresses, muscular over-use and many chronic pain conditions.

CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a light-touch approach that can create dramatic improvements in your life. It releases tensions deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction and improve whole-body health and performance.

Few body structures have more influence on your health and well-being than your central nervous system. And few body systems have more impact on your central nervous system than the craniosacral system - the soft tissues and fluid that protect your brain and spinal cord.

You endure stresses and strains and your body absorbs them. But your body can only handle so much tension before the tissues begin to tighten and potentially affect the brain and spinal cord. Unfortunately, this can compromise the function of the central nervous system and nearly every other system in your body.

CST releases those tensions to allow the entire body to relax and self-correct. Using a gentle touch - starting with about the weight of a nickel - practitioners evaluate your internal environment. They then use distinctive light-touch techniques to release any restrictions they find. The connective tissues of the body called 'fascia' are accessed to release the restrictions.

By freeing the central nervous system to perform at its best, CST naturally eliminates pain and stress, strengthens your resistance to disease, and enhances your health and well-being.

And because it's so gentle, CST can be effective for all ages, from newborns to elders.

A typical CranioSacral Therapy session takes place in a quiet, private treatment room where you remain fully clothed as you relax on a comfortable padded table. Sessions are generally 60 or 90 minutes in length and can be used alone or integrated with other therapies to create powerful effects.

What you experience from your session is highly individual. Sessions are generally deeply relaxing, creating feelings of warmth and gentle pulsing in the areas being treated.

CST was pioneered and developed by osteopathic physician John E. Upledger. Dr. Upledger served from 1975 - 1983 as a clinical researcher and Professor of Biomechanics at the College of Osteopathic Medicine at Michigan State University. It was during those years that his team of anatomists, physiologists, biophysicists and bioengineers were tasked with performing the experiments testing the existence and influence of the craniosacral system. The results of those scientific studies explained the function of the craniosacral system, and its use in evaluating and treating poorly understood malfunctions of the brain and spinal cord. Dr. Upledger went on to develop CranioSacral Therapy and other complementary modalities that are now taught worldwide to healthcare professionals through Upledger Institute International's educational programs.

Reiki

Reiki is a technique for stress reduction that promotes healing. It focuses on balancing the energy flow through a person’s body, much like acupuncture, although with Reiki, the therapist uses their hands to lightly direct the flow. This encourages the body’s innate ability to heal itself, and helps take a person out of the "fight or flight" mode. If this energy flow is low or sluggish, th... Read More

Reiki is a technique for stress reduction that promotes healing. It focuses on balancing the energy flow through a person’s body, much like acupuncture, although with Reiki, the therapist uses their hands to lightly direct the flow. This encourages the body’s innate ability to heal itself, and helps take a person out of the "fight or flight" mode.

If this energy flow is low or sluggish, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress. If it is high, we are more capable of being happy, healthy and vibrant.

If you are open to it, Reiki can help you to progress in your personal growth in a spiritual direction. Most people achieve a meditative state during a Reiki session which helps them to access their inner wisdom and healing abilities.

Denis Mercier RMT

I graduated from the Canadian College of Massage & Hydrotherapy (CCMH) in 2014. I am also a member of the Registered Massage Therapists’ Association of Ontario. I was born and raised in Cambridge (Galt), ON and am fluently bilingual in both French and English. I used to be ‘hard’ on my body from plenty of physical work and various competitive sports. Consequently, I suffered from a variety of injuries and experienced a great deal of pain and reduced function. After experiencing the benefits of manual treatment from numerous practitioners over the years, I gained valuable insight into how my body functions and how it feels and reacts in dysfunction. I was so impressed and appreciative of those that facilitated my recoveries that I decided I would rather be helping people to heal. To that end, after more than 25 years in non-health related fields, I chose to return to school to become a Registered Massage Therapist. I offer NISA massage, Swedish massage, CranioSacral Therapy including SomatoEmotional Release, deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, remedial exercise and Reiki treatments. In my spare time I enjoy being in the great outdoors; be it on the water, on hiking or cycling trails or camping. Back in early 1995 I started my involvement as a Big Brother volunteer with what is now known as “Big Brothers Big Sisters of Waterloo Region”. I am not currently a Big Brother mentor but I do still connect with my former Little Brother on a regular basis. I also volunteer and take part in an organization called “The ManKind Project” where we support men on ‘changing the world one man at a time’.

Linda Simpson

I received my Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Guelph in 1992, where I majored in Human Biology with a minor in Psychology.

After 5 years of working in an unrelated field, I realized that I needed to get back to science and, more importantly, get into something that would allow me to help people. That’s what drew me to massage. I received my diploma in Massage Therapy from Kikkawa College, school of massage, in 1999.

I have been working full-time in a clinic setting since that time with a focus on treating long-term postural and pain conditions. I use a very detailed technique called NISA which allows me to access the old, deep, tight spots or scar tissue that have been holding people back from functioning optimally.

I have taught the NISA technique to both graduates and undergrads of the massage therapy program since 2003.

I am a former Peer Assessor and a Subject Matter Expert for the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario (CMTO) which is the governing body of my profession.

I am a CMTO approved tutor for those RMTs in need of remediation or upgrading their skills and knowledge in order to return to practice.

In my spare time I enjoy the outdoors (hiking, biking, gardening, canoeing, etc.).

I also volunteer with Cambridge City Green, which is a group that organizes our community clean-up and public tree planting events.
