Emily Kersey is a holistic, therapeutic Massage Therapist with a background in Ayurvedic and Thai Massage. She graduated from Pacific Rim College in 2013 with a diploma in Eastern Therapy Bodywork and from the Canadian College of Massage & Hydrotherapy to become an RMT in 2016. While her techniques stay within the scope of RMT standards, her massage is inspired by Eastern principles. There is some cross over with pressure points, stretches, hydrotherapy and essential oils (when applicable).
While studying massage Emily treated individuals with autoimmune conditions, peaking her interest in relaxation massage for chronic pain management. Emily spent the first two years of her RMT career working primarily with MVA’s for whiplash and associated issues. Emily can also offer intra-oral massage for TMJ issues, if that is indicated for your treatment.
Home-care suggestions given to clients reflect Emily’s Yoga Therapy and Yin Yoga teaching background. She strives for clients to become more aware of their body mechanics to reduce pain, and to find approachable ways to bring self-care into each day.
Emily practices Neuromuscular Therapy, Myofascial Release, TMJ work, Hydro Therapy, Trigger Point Release, Muscle Energy Technique, and Lymphatic Drainage.
