CATHY MERRITT

Registered Massage Therapist

RMT

Cathy is a graduate of Sutherland Chan School of Massage, where she received her therapeutic massage training. She is also a member of ther College of Massage Therapists.

Cathy’s great respect for eastern therapies of healing brings Thai Yoga Massage and Reflexology to her practice. She studied Thai Yoga Massage, Level 1 in Toronto, and Level 2 at Montreal’s Lotus Palm School under Kam Thye Chow. This form of massage is performed on mats, wearing comfortable clothing and combines penetrating massage, pressure along energy lines, passive stretching and assisted yoga movements.

Reflexology is an ancient healing art where, application of pressure on points on the feet (also hands and ears) stimulates corresponding areas in the body. Cathy is a member of the Reflexology Association of Canada.

In her treatments, Cathy’s main aim is to help alleviate general stress. Then she focuses in on specific areas of concern, sometimes using all three of the above healing arts. Some of the techniques that she uses are myofascial and trigger point release, joint mobilization, sen and reflex pressure point work and passive stretching.

Cathy’s massage experience is diverse, ranging from sports injury to prenatal clinics and from spa to hospital settings.

Cathy is a Reiki Master and amongst other passions are yoga and figure painting.
