Hi there, I’m Cindy!
I am an orthopedic and pelvic floor physiotherapist.
I grew up on the west coast of Ireland playing lots of sports from a young age,
particularly soccer, and was introduced to physiotherapy pretty early for my own
injuries. I was fascinated by the rehab process and intrigued by the body’s ability
to heal, especially the role that physiotherapy played in facilitating this process.
After receiving my BSc. in Health Science and Physiology, I went on to study
Physiotherapy at Trinity in Dublin. I had lots of exciting roles early on in my
career; treating sports injuries pitch side and representing the Irish Society of
Chartered Physiotherapists at the European surfing championships in 2011. Fast-
forward to 2013 - I traded my surfboard for a snowboard and moved to Alberta!
My approach to treatment is simple. It always centres around the patient in front of me and their lifestyle, and will involve movement of some sort which will be the driving force for how my skillset can help them recover. I pride myself on establishing great therapeutic relationships with my patients. It’s important for you to trust the person coaching your recovery!
Pain is complex and recovery is rarely linear. For this reason, I place a huge emphasis on pain education so that my patients understand the “why” surrounding their symptoms. This helps to set realistic expectations and removes some of the unnecessary stress attached to the pain experience.
In my time away from work you can find me chasing my young family, trying to squeeze in a workout, or planning my next travel adventure.
I look forward to seeing you soon at M1 Summerside!

As a graduate of MH Vicars 2200-hour, 2-year, Registered Massage Therapist program, I feel as though I have found my calling. I’ve always enjoyed working with people and helping them find a solution to what ails them. Massage has given me the skills and knowledge to help; even more so now.
I strive to incorporate relaxation into every treatment, even the deepest, most therapeutic treatments are most effective when the tissues are relaxed. I know first hand how frustrating an injury can be, especially when it takes you away from what you love to do. By creating an individualized treatment plan for each client, we can work towards alleviating your discomfort.
Currently I offer several types of therapeutic massage, such as relaxation, deep tissue, pre/post-natal, joint mobilization, trigger point release, lymphatic drainage, TMJ and dynamic cupping. Continuing education is incredibly important to my practice and learning new techniques to incorporate into treatments, as well as staying current with industry standards.
Massage is beneficial for both your physical and mental health. Even people who are focused on the physical benefits say they feel less stressed after receiving a massage. By increasing circulation, decreasing muscle soreness and joint stiffness, improving sleep quality, strengthening the immune response, elevating energy and decreasing anxiety; massage has something to offer everyone.

Hi, I am Holly!
I completed my Bachelor of Commerce (BCom) and my Master’s of Science in Physical Therapy (MScPT) at the University of Alberta. My drive to help others achieve their goals and my fascination with the human body led me to a rewarding career as a physical therapist. To sum it up – I have a passion for people! I was born and raised in the Edmonton area and take great joy in giving back to our community through volunteer work and participation in local events.
Providing exceptional quality care is my priority because I believe every individual deserves the opportunity to have their story heard and to achieve holistic well-being. I look forward to helping my patients reclaim the activities they cherish most. My therapeutic approach places the patient at the center of shaping their rehabilitation plan, recognizing that your understanding of your own body is paramount. I use a blend of therapeutic exercises, manual therapy, and comprehensive education to make the journey towards your goals both effective and engaging. I am passionate about working with musculoskeletal conditions, sports injuries, and women’s pelvic health.
During my leisure time, you’ll often find me exploring hiking trails, scuba diving, enjoying yoga, or weight training in the gym. I love spending time with my family and lively pups, Gus and Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Hi, I am Amanda. I have been a 2200hr registered massage therapist for 10 years. I graduated from the Alberta Institute of Massage Therapy in Red Deer. I recently moved back to Beaumont after being away for a year.
I enjoy playing in competitive sports such as baseball, basketball, volleyball. I also love leisurely sports like snowboarding, golfing and hiking. One of my favorite things to do is camping and paddle boarding.
I started my career in a spa setting and gradually moved into a therapeutic clinic. I love to build a clientele by making my patients feel welcomed and cared about. I specialize in making a treatment plan for each individual to make sure we can address your issues appropriately. Improving your quality life is my main goal. Whether its a deep tissue massage to alleviate those over-worked muscles and tackle those aggravating knots by increasing blood flow and decreasing inflammation or a relaxation massage to relieve tired, stressed muscle tension that could be the root cause of your headaches or insomnia. I also have worked with many clients with new and old injuries to help regain range of motion and subside acute or chronic pain. I have even maintained regular treatments with sports massage for clients who train hard before a special event such as full iron mans, triathlons and marathon runners. These regular treatments can help improve your performance and prevent injuries before your event. As a mother I am fully aware of what kind of changes your body may experience during pregnancy not to mention everything that happens after. Prenatal and postnatal massages are not just to address your body physically but mentally as well. I work with all types of bodies and honestly, I love the challenge to figure out what individual needs.
My work does not feel like a job, Biology and physiology have always interested me since high school. Since graduating from AIM I have stayed a member of CMMOTA by keeping up with my continuing education courses such as Reflexology, Dynamic Cupping, Jade Stone, Lymphatic Drainage, Crainosacral. I also did my 300 hr yoga instructing course with Embodied Living in Ucluelet, BC. Some other courses I am interested in are Thai massage, Ashiatsu and RAPID release. I have also been looking into a dietary course to increase my knowledge about the foods we eat about how our bodies process them as many problems such as low back pain can be from inflammation of the stomach and its organs.
It’s never too late to start caring about your body. Thinking about your future and how you can improve your everyday life could be as simple as booking a treatment today. Massage therapy is more than treatment of the muscles. It helps with boosting energy, managing stress, regulating sleep patterns, helps you build awareness of the body to improve the overall health of your wellbeing.
