CHECK. THIS. OUT. This before and after photo fuels my passion. I love doing fascial work not only because you can see the results but because it works. ... These before and after photos were taken before and after one 60 minute session! We ( yes, it’s a team effort from both myself and the client!) worked very, very slowly, melting through the layers and just really took the time to listen to the tissue and well, I think the pictures speak for themselves! Days and moments like these remind me of how thankful I am to do what I do, to love what I do and to have amazing clients who trust me to be a part of their health and wellness journeys #whatfuelsyourpassion #grateful #lovewhatyoudo #myofascialrelease #massagetherapymanitoba #rmtpinawa

Okay! I can’t wait anymore, I’m too excited! It’s CHRISTMAS GIVEAWAY TIME! I’ve been so thankful to have SOO much support over the last 3.5 months. All the likes, comments, shares, appointments, referrals. It has been above and beyond any expectations I could have had.... To say thank you to not only my clients but to also support my fellow local business owners who continue to hustle during the most uncertain of time, I have put together a basket of goodies of their products, which also comes with not 1 but 2!!! 60 minute massages!! One for you and one for the person of your choice! Rules are simple- 1- Like OR Share the original post AND 2- Tag a friend, family member or some random person for your chance to win! Not from here? No problem, follow the rules as above and I’ll ship you the goodies and why not use the massages as Christmas presents for someone local?!

11!! That’s it! 11 more appointments available until Christmas. As much as I try to squeeze appointments in, I am booked solid coming into the next couple of weeks. If you have benefits to use, now is the time to schedule some ‘me’ time before heading into the holidays. Most insurance plans will renew January 1st. Direct billing available.... *some evening and weekend appointments available upon request** Call, text 204.340.5421 or DM to claim your spot!

During these uncertain times, we as Massage Therapist’s are still able to work. It’s validation to me as an RMT that what we do matters and is needed. Remember, you need to take care of yourself physically and mentally during this time too and massage is a great option for both. I am working hard to keep my appointments as spread out as much as possible to allow for proper and thorough cleaning processes which means less appointments each day.... To help keep up with the demand for appointments I have added a couple more days of work in the next few weeks. Dec 1- 10:00, 12:00, 2:00 Dec 8-11:30, 1:30, 3:30 #selfcare #calminthechaos #massagetherapy #essential #rmt #rmtpinawa #supportlocal #tryingtostartabusinessduringapandemic

Not glamorous or comfortable but it’s a small sacrifice compared to what true front line workers go through daily. It’s a small ask to keep my clients, family and community safe, I wear them with pride. *Side note- double mask = no fogging! #massagetherapyisessential #safespace #covid_19 #pandemiclife

So much chatter about whether or not Massage Therapist’s should continue to work. I’m just going to leave this here Be kind and stay health

Although on Thursday the Province will be moving into Code-Red, as outlined at the press conference held today there are currently no new restrictions for Registered Massage Therapists and we are able to stay open. YOU and YOUR family...MY family and OUR communities health is of the utmost importance to me. I also know how important our services as RMT’s are to those who are suffering with illness, injury and mental health. Although unfortunately Reactions Salon will be close...d to the public for other services, I will be fulfilling my appointments until the end of the day on Friday, November 13. I will then reassess on how to move forward. I feel very fortunate to able to continue to treat my clients during these trying times and my goal is to be able to stay open in some capacity going forward but again, everyone’s health and safety is my top priority. To those that have sent messages, I appreciate your patience and will get back to you and all of those who have upcoming appointments ASAP. Thank you for your continued support. Be kind and stay healthy Carly

Yesterday was supposed to be the start of the last week of my 3 year journey but instead due to previous COVID restrictions, it was the first day back of another 4-6 weeks of schooling. While it is SO disappointing to not be wrapping up this chapter of my life this week, I am grateful for the opportunity to be back now and to move forward and continue planning for when I can open up shop later this summer. To better help in this planning process I wold love to hear from you!... - - When is the best time of the day or week for you to book a massage? - - What kind of massage do you enjoy most? - - What are the extras you’ve experience during your treatments that you maybe weren’t expecting but loved or would like have as a part of your future treatment!? Hot towels? Cold towels? Paraffin treatments? Cupping? Essential oils? Hot stones? Table warmer? - - Comment below or send me a DM! - - Thanks again for all the support, kind words, messages, like and shares. I can’t wait to be have you on my table soon!! #rmttobe #massagetherapy #tryingtograduateduringapandemic #carlysuskimassagetherapy #pinawarmt #pinawa See more

When we’re kind to ourselves, to others or others are kind to us, our bodies release serotonin - a chemical produced by cells from the ‘pleasure centre’ of our brains that contribute to feelings of well being and happiness. These actions can also produce oxytocin which helps dilate blood vessels leading to increased blood flow. - - - I’ve received so many kind messages asking if I’m able to start my practicum yet or if I’m looking for bodies to practice on. Unfortunately as... students we are not registered so we don’t fall into ‘Phase 1’ which means we are not able to start up yet. Hopefully we will have more clarity soon as to how we will be able to move forward and when we can get back to massaging! - - All of your kindness and support is so appreciated. I feel so lucky live in such a beautiful community full of the most thoughtful and kind hearted people. I can’t wait to get back into the swing and things and have you on my table soon! - - Enjoy the long weekend! Soak up the sunshine, be kind to yourself and one another ! #kindnessisfree #elephantsknowbest #tryingtograduateduringapandemic #soclose #rmttobe #futurermt #carlysuskimassagetherapy #pinawamassagetherapy #pinawa #homegrown See more

Who is missing their RMT? Who has been trying to be more active with some of their extra time and their body is feeling it? Who is feeling the stress of everything- isolation, homeschooling, finances? ... I have received a lot of messages from family and friends saying how badly they need a massage and are asking for any tips or tricks to help with the aches and pains and stresses from life. I know I check all of the above so thought I would share a couple of self care tips that I find helpful! One of my go to’s for pain or muscle soreness is stretching with a foam roller or tennis ball. *A good rule to remember before you start* **Try to warm up your muscles and get your blood circulating beforehand by: going for a quick walk, doing some dynamic stretches or using a heat pad** Included are some pictures to show how you can target certain muscle groups with the roller or tennis ball. During these stretches you may come across areas with ‘tender points’ or ‘trigger points’ When you come across these areas of tension pause your stretch and keep a sustained pressure from your foam roller or ball in that location. There may be some mild discomfort but it should not be painful. Breathe deeply and hold this position for 20-30 seconds, until the discomfort subsides or you feel the muscle release. Repeat 2-3 times if necessary. Do some static stretching afterwards to help flush the area and be sure to drink LOTS of water! Remember. Be kind to yourself and your body. Continue to up your water intake if you need to and get lots of fresh air and sunshine. We will get through this together, one day at a time. **I am still a student however these are techniques I have learned in school and are take home tips I would normal give to clients in our clinic and outreach programs**

I was so excited to be starting my practicum in Pinawa this week, unfortunately and understandably it has been postponed. In the mean time I am lucky enough to have the space to set up a little practice nook to help me perfect my skills and continue learning new ones so I am able to give you the best possible treatments when we get back into the swing of things! I look forward to brighter days ahead and seeing you on my table very soon to give your body and mind the attention it deserves. I think after we get through this we’re all going to need it #studentlife #futuremassagetherapist #rmt #carlysuskimassagetherapy #pinawamassagetherapy #pinawa #wellness #selfcare #makingitwork #practicemakesperfect #itsnicetobekneaded

During this stressful time, like many other’s, our day to day lives have been affected by COVID-19. Being so close to graduation and with things ramping up at school to find out our school is closing and that all of our classes will be delivered online until they are able to reopen left me feeling a little uneasy, unprepared and overwhelmed, with the same thought continually going through my head, ‘How the hell am I going to get through this?’ However this morning, while dri...nking my coffee with the sun beaming through my window, reading over emails and protocol, I had a sense of calmness. I have so much to be grateful for and the opportunity to continue my schooling even if it’s online is something I am going to embrace. It has been a crazy 3 years in our house with me going back to school and I am going to take this time to recharge; exercise, declutter, enjoy some fresh air, spend the time with my kids and my husband that I have been so longing for and prepare myself for the final push. So, if like our family, you will be spending some time at home in the next couple weeks, I encourage you to take some time and catch up on the things your body and mind have been in need of too. Wash your hands. Keep well. And in a world where you can choose to be anything, be kind.

Wow! I am truly overwhelmed with all the kind words, messages, shares and love! Thank you all so much for your continued support! I had quite a few questions so I thought I would answer some of them here in case you might be wondering too! - Once I graduate I will have completed over 2200 hours of training and will be a certified Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) ... -$35 for a 60 minute massage is my student rate and will run from April-June (This is unfortunately not covered by your insurance company- so you can’t use your benefits...hence why it’s only $35!) -Starting in June I will be direct billing to most insurance companies *Send me a message or comment below which insurance company you use so I can be sure to add them to my billing!* -Yes! Mobile Massage will be available - There will absolutely be evening and weekend appointments available! I can’t wait to get started and do my part to help keep our community healthy! I will be posting my appointment availability ASAP so stayed tuned and thanks again for all the love and support! Cheers! -Carly

My training includes but is not limited to Swedish massage, joint mobility, deep tissue, trigger point release, myofascial and structural therapies. There are lots of exciting things happening between now and graduation. In the next few weeks I will be starting my senior practicum in Pi...nawa offering 60 minute massages for $35! So stay tuned for updates, available appointments and upcoming events! I look forward to opening my practice in Pinawa this summer and helping you reach your wellness goals. -Carly
