From
a young age Susan had a desire to help people, most especially
through touch, and health. She began her career in Esthetics providing
a variety of services. However once she became aware of the Massage
Therapy profession , she was fascinated and intrigued by how this
industry could improve the quality of people’s lives on
such a personal and profound level. Once she had received her
very own first RMT treatment, she was compelled to begin her journey
into the profession.
At the beginning of her Massage Therapy career Susan began her
RMT practice within the Artistic Esthetic Spa, in downtown London
for several years. Where as prior to that she was a working Esthetician
for some time, also at that same location . From there she joined
a clinic in North West London and became an RMT Associate with
two Chiropractors. Soon following that she opened Hands in Health
within the current location today.

Susan’s
particular Massage Therapy style is unique. She integrates many
of those first mentioned techniques together within her treatments
along with therapeutic deep tissue & traditional Swedish relaxation
massage .With now 20yrs of hands on experience, she has attained
great skill and intuition in her hands on assessment, treatment
& has a finely developed sense of touch. Susan considers herself
a ‘general specialist’ so to speak , having treated
people with all kinds of conditions such as ; headaches, migraines,
sprains / strains, post surgeries, pre and post natal symptoms,
car accident rehab, and WSIB cases to mention a few. However she
feels some of her strengths are in the treatment of chronic pain,
fibromyalgia , and new injuries.
Susan is motivated and inspired by the positive benefits that
she herself has received for her own injuries and rehabilitation
, as well as her clients also have from traditional Massage Therapy,
and especially the CranioSacral & Reiki techniques .Those
of which she combines within her regular customized massage treatments.
She also offers many of these particular techniques specifically
on there own as a specialty, depending on each client’s
desires and needs.
Many of the early years in Susan’s practice she dedicated
much time and effort to volunteering, as well as educating the
public and promoting the Massage Therapy profession in a variety
of settings.
In recent years she has turned her focus to within the clinic
mentoring and supporting the newer graduates and associate therapists
who have joined her team.
Susan really feels honored to have worked with such a talented
group of therapists over the years within her clinic. She also
feels extremely fortunate to be able to have helped so many people
by doing what she loves for a living. Many of her original cliental
of her RMT practice still seek her treatments today to maintain
their well being, and have also referred many of their friends
and family through the years.
Personally she engages in a healthful active lifestyle, and enjoys
spending time with her young son, family, and friends. She believes
a balanced life is a happy one and does her best to achieve that.
