AUTUMN 2024

1. I am delighted to be offering SOMATIC EXPERIENCING sessions. This is a natural healing modality, developed by Dr Peter Levine, that works with your internal sensations, also known as the “felt sense”, to build capacity and resilience in the nervous system, and to safely and slowly renegotiate high activation states that previously overwhelmed the nervous system (i.e. events we classify as Trauma). If you are interested in this work, please contact me directly, and we will set up a free introductory session. As I am still in training, ongoing sessions are offered at a very discounted price.

2. As of the end of October, I will be working at Lotus and Thistle on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. All other appointments are at my house.

3. I am currently NOT accepting new clients for massage therapy.

4. For massage and craniosacral therapy sessions, I would like to encourage you to bring your own sheets with you, for hygienic and environmental reasons: A clean single fitted and single flat sheet, preferably laundered in scent-free detergent.

5. I will be going to Scotland for the Christmas Holidays, returning to Nova Scotia at the start of January for the winter, which I am so looking forward to.

Thank you

Massage Therapy is a holistic modality that restores balance between the body and the mind. It brings a deeper awareness to the body and what it is telling us and, by cultivating awareness through our sessions, we can work to prevent stress and re-injury.

Therapeutic massage engages muscles, connective tissue and fascia to alleviate pain and muscle spam. It enhances circulation through the blood and lymphatic vessels, mobilizes restricted joints, and calms the nervous system. I use a variety of techniques tailored to you that include fascial release, trigger point therapy, deep tissue massage, general Swedish massage, joint manipulation, stretching, breath work and Craniosacral therapy. Therapeutic massage also works on the mental-emotional levels to bring calm by reducing the tone in the sympathetic nervous system thus decreasing stress levels.

Each session begins with a discussion of your reasons for coming to massage, followed by a 50-60minute massage, and ends with suggestions of exercises to stretch, strengthen and mobilize, and a suggestion of a treatment plan if necessary, to assist your return to full function.

(She/Her/Hers) RMT, nd

Jennifer Wilson, RMT (PhD Neuroscience) was trained at the Canadian College of Massage and Hydrotherapy in Halifax. Subsequently, I have delved into CranioSacral Therapy with the Upledger Institute and then went on to complete a 2 year training (750+hrs) in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy. I am currently in the final year of the training in Somatic Experiencing, a method developed by Peter Levine, to help the nervous system resolve states of activation. I also have qualifications in Thai Yoga Massage, from the Lotus Palm School of Thai Massage in Montreal, Yoga Instructor (200hrs) with Hart Lazer, and Reiki and energy healing work. I am licensed with the Massage Therapists and Wholistic Practitioners Association of the Maritimes (MTWPAM) as a Massage Therapist, and with the Alliance of Professional Naturopaths and Naturotherapists (APNN) as a Naturotherapist. I offer direct billing to most insurance companies (Blue Cross, Manulife, Great West Life, Chambers), but regretfully do not accept WCB or Car Insurance cases.

My treatment approach: This time is your time. I am here to support you. To give you quality service, with heart. Although I have come from a scientific background and am strong in the intellectual understanding and presentation of symptoms and dysfunction in the body, my joy, passion and calling to this work is because I can blend this with working from my heart and intuition and allow the intelligence within the body to guide the session. Centeredness, presence and a gentle nature allow me to hold space for whatever is arising in another, and to hold that space, openly, and non-judgementally. For me, this work is a privilege and an honour.
