Janet Bernakevitch, RMT

After trying my hand working in various sales and office positions I realized I wanted a profession centered around being in service to others by helping people heal. I found my way into a massage therapist after a painful shoulder injury. Almost immediately I knew becoming a massage therapist was going to be my path. I was and still am fascinated by the human body and how it functions. Now with over 17 years of experience I find myself very grateful to be in a profession that is more rewarding than I could have ever expected.

One of my top priorities is making sure my client feels empowered. I love collaborating with my client to help them work through what they need to deal with pain or dysfunction. I also recognize we all come with a history affecting the body and mind. Massage has an amazing capacity to access and release both pain and stress. Over the years I’ve learned when offering deep massage that its amazing how deep and effective slower, gradual increases in pressure can be in creating release without causing a great deal of pain. There is a great deal of satisfaction being a part of a persons journey toward a healthy balanced life.

I enjoy hiking, doodling, reading books about massage, health and spiritual growth. Recently I’ve tried my hand a watercolour painting and love the process of letting go of the end result. Instead, immersing myself in the process.

Janet performs deep tissue, cupping, oncology, prenatal, TMJ (jaw pain), senior and relaxation massage.

Alanna Blackburn, RMT

After studying and teaching massage therapy, yoga and reiki, I am so grateful I can contribute to the healing journey of others. I often think about my mom and the practitioners that had changed not only her life but the lives of our whole family while she was dealing with rheumatoid arthritis and hope to do the same for each of my clients.

I use assessment to determine the best treatment plan to optimize health and well-being.

Then, with rhythmic strokes and precise muscle palpation I work to increase range of motion, relax tense muscles, increase circulation and create a comforting and relaxing space.

Alanna performs deep tissue, myofascial release, sports therapy, relaxation, children, cupping and prenatal massage.

I was born in Colombia, and moved to Canada 12 years ago, I’m still trying to get used to the winters.

My passion for helping others with my hands through touch started when I was 6, when my mom introduced me to Reiki. From then on, I became very curious about different pain and rehab therapy modalities, massage therapy specifically.

Now, with a 3000 hour Massage Therapy Diploma from Makami College, and over 2 years of experience educating other therapists, my passion for helping clients, be and feel better, has deepened.

I believe in the restorative potential of the human mind, body and spirit in response to massage and combine; Swedish, therapeutic, and myofascial techniques with stretching and strengthening exercises to restore overall well-being. I have experience working with TMJ dysfunction, Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, Whiplash, Tension Headaches, Postural Dysfunctions, Sports Injuries and other chronic injuries.

I enjoy cooking, hiking, being outdoors and learning how I can be a better human to the world.  Below are two of my favourite quotes from one of my recent reads:

“So, listen, to yourself and to those with whom you are speaking. Your wisdom then consists not of the knowledge you already have, but the continual search for knowledge, which is the highest form of wisdom.”
