Jessamyn Nitsch, B.A., RMT
Welcome to Balance Health Centre! I am the clinic’s registered massage therapist and have been practicing at Balance since 2001. I am a graduate of Queen’s University and Sutherland Chan School and Teaching Clinic.
I have been living in Bloor West Village since 1999 and love what this community has to offer, so I was thrilled to join the team at Balance upon my graduation from Sutherland Chan.
Over the years I have worked with all kinds of wonderful clients from all walks of life. It is clients like you that continue to make each day at work a rewarding and fulfilling experience.
I value the variation in working with clients who are pregnant, training for an athletic event, suffering from chronic pain, needing to improve posture, having back and neck pain from computer work, kids experiencing “growing pains” and those needing some quiet moments of relaxation.
I have an avid interest in learning new techniques that can help my clients and have taken courses in Manual Lymph Drainage, Deep Tissue Massage and Muscle Energy.
As a Registered Massage Therapist I am regulated just as your Doctor, Chiropractor and Physiotherapist are under the Regulated Health Professions Act. I am in good standing with the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario. The CMTO is a professional organization whose purpose is to protect and serve the public by ensuring the competency and quality of care provided by Registered Massage Therapists.
I welcome any questions you have about massage therapy and how I can help you so do not hesitate to call me for more information.
I am committed to improving the quality of your health through massage therapy and look forward to working with you soon.
In good health and happiness,
Jessamyn
