About Me

My work in Osteopathy is to provide clients relief from discomfort, aches and pains so they can get back to doing the things they love. I hold a vision of ultimate health for each client I work with. Osteopathy embodies the mind, body and spirit approach to health and wellness. All three are interrelated and I consider these approaches during treatments.

My own journey to health began many years ago when I experienced aches, pains and non-stop flu like symptoms that led to a short circuit of my internal electrical system. I discovered that my stress, frustration and an internal negative self-dialogue lead to the expression of a serious chronic illness. I was told I had a chronic idiopathic inflammatory disease and that I had it for a long time. To me, there was much more to this predicament and I took it upon myself to find solutions and made changes to lifestyle, including the very scary ones revolving around career, finances and self-identity. I furthered my education and asked for the support I needed. I used all available means at my disposal and refused to allow the diagnosis to become my story. I began to feel better and eventually I was able to get back to the things I love – adventure seeking with my family, hiking, skiing, and mountain biking. I took my life back.

After months of creating new habits and I got back to meaningful activities, I returned for a medical evaluation and I was no longer labeled with my condition. I was ready to get on with life as the next iteration of myself. I want the same Freedom for each and every one of my clients:

Freedom from aches and pains.
Freedom to view stresses differently.
Freedom to do what you love, with those you love.

After I got the green light in my own health, I felt a responsibility to pass it on. I wanted to enlighten others to another way.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS

I had a glorious 90 mins with Trish. I highly recommend the Detox Massage and think everyone should get that done 2-3 times a year. Love The Relaxing Wellness Company! Everyone is professional and very good at what they do. Love the spa like decor and it's always so clean! I would give it 5 stars!

Roxie Calgary

The Relaxing Wellness Center has been a great find for myself and my family. I work out rigorously 6 days a week. Their knowledge and technique for massage and cupping has helped my body change and grow tremendously in under a year!
