Gillian has a background in emergency medicine and made the change to massage therapy to help people pursue wellness before they are in a crisis. Having undergone two reconstructive knee surgeries herself, Gillian understands the importance of having a strong team supporting recovery and would love to be part of your journey. All of Gillian’s sense of humour can be traced back to the movies she watches.
Areas of Passion
Women’s Health: Helping women deal with the added fatigue, stress, and physical changes associated with pregnancy and postpartum is a priority for Gillian. Her techniques support physical health as the body experiences momentous changes, as well as provide relaxation and stress relief.
Headaches: Headaches go part and parcel with living in Calgary. But did you know, your headache is likely associated with neck and shoulder tension. Gillian’s thorough approach to treating these areas can help to alleviate tension headaches, and address postural concerns.
Shoulder Injuries: The shoulder has the most range of motion of any joint in the body which also means it has the least stability leading to common shoulder injuries. Gillian uses her anatomical knowledge of the shoulder complex to treat the affected structures.
Treatment Style
