OHHHHS YOU BEAUTIFUL HUMANS . I've been nominated in this year's CommunityVotes St. John's campaign in BOTH Massage Therapy AND Physio/Rehab Clinics! . Shucks, y'all know how to make a girl feel special ^.^ ... . Now, considering the volume of people I see versus the clientele base that much larger multidisciplinary clinics have, I'm certainly not anticipating winning, but I truly do appreciate the nomination more than you could know! Thank you to whatever beautiful human sent in my name :D . Voting isn't opening for a while, but of course I will update when it is :) . Happy Monday, humans! :D . . . Yours truly in gratitude and a happy heart, Nica ^.^ See more

Due to a surprising uptick in recent weeks, a gentle reminder from KMTT... . It is kindly requested that rescheduling or cancellation of appointments be done with 24-hours notice of booked appointment time. Please be advised that failure to provide notice will incur a $50 fee per session. Please note: this fee CANNOT be billed to personal health insurance. . This policy is posted on my website, in multiple locations in my clinic, and comes through on the automated consent fo...rm from my booking system. My system also sends a confirmation email when you book the appointment, plus a reminder email a week and 48 hours before your appt, and you get a COVID screening questionnaire to be filled out prior to your appointment. After all that contact from me, I STILL forgive the first missed appointment! . This is the part of business ownership that can be hard and uncomfortable, but policies are there for a reason. A no-show isn't just an hour lost on my schedule, but it's also a wasted opportunity for someone else who may be in significant pain and waiting for relief. . I totally understand that life still happens, unexpected things come up, plans change, and sometimes you just can't make it. Please let me know of changes to your appointment as soon as possible. I know you don't want to pay out of pocket for NOT receiving a service- I don't want to charge you, either!! Help me, help you :) . If you need to contact me, please reach out to [email protected] or (709) 730-5839 !!! . I'll see you at your next appointment :) . Not booked yet? Only 3 spots left next week - visit www.KinesioMassageTherapy.com to check it out :D .

Our bodies are built to MOVE, so when we don't move well or don't move often, that's when those lovely aches and pains start to shout at us a little louder. . I've experienced this first hand. For those of you that don't know, I was rear-ended by a dump truck in 2014 (while going to a massage therapy appointment, oh the irony..). . Therapeutic massage was my saving grace for pain relief from whiplash, but after 11 months in therapy, I simply couldn't keep relying on treatment... every week just to be able to function. . So instead, because of my Kinesiology background, I dove hardcore into strength training. Fast-forward a few months and I'm still plagued with frequent tension headaches and neck pain. I was stronger, but something was missing. I was moving often, but I was starting to think maybe I still wasn't moving that well. . What I needed was something that worked from the deepest depths of my core and rippled outwards. So, I read, I researched, I practised, I learned. . That something is what has slowly but surely become my signature training style. My goal for my business is to take all the garbage I've been through and turn it into good for others, to teach you ways to manage chronic pain on your own with effective, time-efficient techniques, to get your started on your road to wellness, or to support your current workout efforts with balance. . Join me for the launch of my first virtual self-care series! I've developed not one but TWO 4-class-long programs that will teach you to care for your physical needs (while slyly caring for your mental health as well :p). . Email me at [email protected] to register today :) Live at 630pms on Tuesday and Thursday and recorded for your viewing convenience, STARTING THIS WEEK! . . .
