Teresa has been practicing massage therapy since she graduated from the Canadian College of Massage and Hydrotherapy with honours in 2010, where her studies centered on neurological dysfunction and the application of deep tissue treatment. In 2015, she completed her training as a manual osteopath, graduating from the National Academy of Osteopathy. There, she expanded her practice by adding a focus on visceral manipulation and specific joint work.
Teresa’s approach involves specific, targeted tissue manipulation to address restriction and dysfunction in individual muscles and their kinetic chains. Merging osteopathic and massage based techniques and theory results in efficient and effective treatments that confront dysfunction, then work to re-establish and maintain healthy movement patterns.
More recently, Teresa spent time working as an instructor and clinic co-ordinator/supervisor in the massage therapy program at Eastern College. She has also served time on the board of directors of MTWPAM (2013-2015).
Outside of work, Teresa spends her time camping, hiking, and exploring the Nova Scotia landscape. She is also a gamer, an avid reader, and a volunteer with the SPCA.
