A graduate of Sutherland-Chan School and Teaching Clinic in 2015, here is where she had a new-found interest in the human body and musculoskeletal presentations after receiving an extensive education and practical experience with patients of varying abilities and conditions / pathologies. Soon after graduating, she had her daughter which then peaked her interest more in pregnancy and infant massage. Chanté has specialties working with pre- and post-natal pregnancy patients; including those deemed high risk, individuals with CNS conditions like stroke, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis to name a few, and has worked in the lung unit of the Toronto General Hospital aiding patients with lobectomies to ones with COPD, asthma and emphysema.

From her schooling, she has a comprehensive knowledge of human kinetics, anatomy and physiology, allowing her the ability to utilize this information to cater to the needs of the patients she treats.

Kelly is a Registered Massage Therapist with the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario. With many years of experience supporting individuals in wellness-focused environments, she is passionate about helping clients improve their overall health and well-being.

Kelly’s approach combines a nurturing, client-centered philosophy with professional care. She takes the time to listen and tailor each treatment to meet the unique needs of every client.

Her treatments incorporate Swedish massage techniques, deep tissue therapy, trigger point release, as well as the use of hot stones and gua sha. Her goal is to promote relaxation, relieve tension, and support long-term wellness. Kelly works closely with her clients to ensure they receive the most effective and beneficial treatment possible.

Kelly offers Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage Massage (BLDM) which is specialized massage technique that stimulates the lymphatic system to promote the elimination of toxins, reduce fluid retention, and enhance circulation. Unlike traditional lymphatic drainage, the Brazilian method is known for its faster, more rhythmic, and sculpting techniques, often combining deep and superficial massage strokes to create a visible slimming and toning effect, all while focusing on your overall well-being. It is performed with her hands using light to medium pressure, pumping motions, and sweeping strokes, focusing on areas prone to fluid retention, such as the legs, abdomen, and arms.

Benefits of BLDM

• Reduces water retention and swelling

• Improves circulation and skin health

• Helps contour and tone the body

• Supports immune and lymphatic function

• Relieves bloating and digestive discomfort

• Promotes relaxation and overall well-being
