Your body is
amazing
(but sometimes it doesn’t feel like it)
When you’re not feeling your best, but there’s “nothing wrong”, it’s unsettling at best.
We can help.
Remember when you used to ignore pain, and it would go away?
good times.
These days, your body sends you subtle (and not-so subtle!) reminders that it’s uncomfortable all the time.
In short: You’re feeling old. And you’d rather not.
If you’re experiencing:
– Headaches
– Low-grade body pain
– Exhaustion, or the feeling of never getting a full nights’ rest
– Abdominal pain or cramping
that needs to stop!
These problems aren’t necessarily life-altering, they’re just annoying. You could live, (and likely have been living) with them.
But if you could change it… wouldn’t you?
You deserve to be able to:
~ Move freely, without pain and discomfort ~
~ Resolve physical and emotional pain, and move forward ~
~ Feel like a whole person, not the shell of one ~
I’m Vanessa.
RMT, cat lover, wine enthusiast.
I also love treating clients with a technique called
visceral manipulation
As a Massage Therapist I always felt that there was something more I could do than just relax muscles.
Turns out, there is: VM is a beautiful, subtle therapy that can have a huge impact.
Feeling better is as easy as:
Booking a massage appointment (free phone consults available)
Filling in a health history form
Comprehensive assessment and in-person intake (this takes up the first portion of your appointment)
Hands-on treatment (clothed or unclothed)
My menstrual cycles were painful every time. I had little expectations of VM benefiting me. The treatment was comfortable and relaxing, and I felt great after. More importantly, I noticed a huge difference in my back pain and nausea during my next cycle. Thank you!
I experience chronic anxiety, muscle pain, and gynaecological issues as a result of long term stress disorders. Vanessa holds the tools and methodology to treat them accordingly. Her intuition serves her well. She uses craniosacral therapy, deep muscle massage, and VM on my abdomen. So far, in conjunction with other treatment and remedies, I am happy to say some of my long term and persistent symptoms have appeased.
I have been seeing Vanessa for scar tissue following multiple abdominal surgeries from ovarian cancer. My hip pain is decreasing, but so are (to my surprise) digestive problems that I regularly struggle with. My sleep is noticeably better as well. I highly recommend Vanessa if you have been dealing with chronic health issues.
You already take care of yourself.
You get fresh air. You move your body. You try and get enough sleep (ok, so there’s the odd Netflix binge-a-thon, but it’s called balance).
Now, you need the blueprint for the next step
Because lets face it: you’re not ok being not-ok.
And why should you be?
People experience pain daily, but you aren’t the type to allow it.
You listen to your body’s cues, and even though you aren’t sure what it’s saying right now, you want to find out.
With Visceral Manipulation, be prepared to
Experience less body pain
Have less joint restrictions
Enjoy better sleep
Experience a profound sense of balance and calm.
Is this treatment right for me?
You’re a great candidate for VM if you:
– Feel something is ‘off’ in your body, but allopathic medicine says its fine.
– You normally have a strong connection with your body but that has waned lately
– You suffer from any chronic pain or illness
But Vanessa! I have questions!
I’ve had other types of treatment before and they gave temporary relief at best.
Other treatment modalities, such as massage, chiropractic, or physiotherapy, offer many benefits. VM is specific to the organs and their body-wide restrictions, which is often a unique treatment type and can find problem sources other treatments miss.
________
I don’t feel comfortable being unclothed for a treatment.
That’s totally fine. Visceral Manipulation works just fine when the client is on the table clothed.
________
I don’t know if vm would work for my pain.
That’s ok. We offer free consultations if you have questions before booking. Vanessa can usually tell from some brief questions whether your issue is amenable for this treatment type.
