Mia completed her education at the Alberta College of Massage Therapy. She brings a strong background in sports and fitness from her experience in resistance training leadership through the Alberta Fitness Leadership Certification Association. She has a passion for helping patients move and feel better in their bodies, especially those recovering from sports related injuries.

Her decision to make the change from personal training to massage therapy was inspired by her own experience with chronic low-back pain. After struggling with the pain for over a year, she first-hand experienced the benefits of massage therapy along with postural education which ultimately motivated her to pursue a career focused on helping others heal and improving their quality of life.

Mia’s treatment approach focuses on improving movement, reducing pain and discomfort, and helping patients return to their activities of daily living. She provides individualized care tailored to each patient’s unique needs by incorporating relaxation, deep tissue and therapeutic techniques aimed at supporting recovery and improving overall wellbeing. She also offers intra-oral massage for those experiencing temporomandibular joint dysfunction, as well as prenatal massage to support wellness in movement throughout pregnancy.

Outside the clinic, Mia loves to stay active by going to the gym in the early mornings, hiking in the spring and summer, doing yoga, reading, and listening to vinyl.
