I am Anita and I am happy to share my journey as a massage therapy professional with you. Take a minute to learn more about me.
​
I was destined to become a massage therapist. I had a series of events in my early and late adult years that lead and confirmed I was working towards my soul’s purpose. I knew touch was meant to heal others.
​
In my early twenties, I enrolled in an Aesthetician Diploma program at Seneca College. I received accolades in the body treatment and facial classes by my peers and professors. I recall working in the student clinic where I received numerous compliments by customers on my hand strength, my rhythm and flow of massage therapy techniques.
​
In my mid-twenties, I received gentle nudges and omens to shift towards massage therapy. I was interested in chair massage at this time and considered enrolling in an accredited school, but I was not committed yet. My focus was to climb up the corporate ladder. As years passed and I continued to receive closed doors, I chose to direct my focus on the signs from the universe to pursue massage therapy.
​
By my late twenties, I enrolled into the Massage Therapy Diploma program. I graduated with Honours from Centennial College of Applied Arts in 2005 and later became licensed to practice in Ontario. I have been proudly serving the Woodbridge Vaughan community and surrounding area for nearly 20 years.
​
To further my understanding of the knowledge I gained in previous studies, I was seeking to learn how Qi and subtle energies flow through the body. In my mind there was a missing piece to tie each therapy together. Without hesitation, I enrolled in an Acupuncture and Energy Medicine Diploma program at The College of International Holistic Studies. I was able to synthesize all the knowledge I gathered from previous studies.
​
My intention was to be in a career that allowed me to be in service for the greater good of humanity; to have a platform where I could consciously provide a service catered around safe touch, gentleness and compassion, while sharing my wisdom and humility in a sacred healing environment. As a therapist and healer, I have an intuitive way of working with patients by knowing what is needed for each of their individual treatments.
​
My passion to help others extends beyond the therapy room by mentoring second and third year massage therapy students in preparation of their OSCE and MCQ examinations.
​
I am a member in good standing with the CMTO, RMTAO, and NGH.
