Body-positive massage therapy for women in Toronto
(trans-friendly)
Hi!
My name is Nicki and I’m a Registered Massage Therapist and Certified Shiatsu Therapist based in Toronto, Canada. I was the valedictorian of my Sutherland-Chan graduating class and I hold an Honours BA from the University of Toronto. I can help correct your posture (and your grammar, if you like).
After a decade in the music industry, I grew tired of working for The Man (and working for men!). Now I'm a proud entrepreneur, contributing to the female-dominated industry of massage therapy, focusing on empowering women to put themselves first.
I treat out of my century home in the charming southwestern Toronto neighbourhood of Parkdale, catering to women who are on the brink of exhaustion. I provide a body-positive, trans-friendly space where busy women can unwind and ignore the outside world. Whether your shoulders hurt, you have a headache, or you just need a break from the stresses in life, you will find instant relief in my home studio. As a bonus, I play Otis Redding instead of spa music!
Why Choose Nicki
Punctuality
My sessions always start and end on time. Provided you arrive 5 minutes early, my goal is to have you on the table by your appointment start time so you always get the most hands-on time. This means your 60-minute massage is actually 60 minutes, not 50.Silence Is Golden
Have you ever received a massage from a therapist who won’t stop talking? I love a good chat, but I will never initiate a conversation with you during your treatment. I follow your lead.
Money Savings
No nickel-and-diming here! I don't charge extra for add-ons like essential oils, hot towels, deeper pressure, or new modalities. Also, I don't accept tips. Save your money and put it towards your next massage.Cleanliness
I sanitize absolutely everything in between treatments. You don't want to know the things I've seen in other practices.YOU Are In Control
No aspect of your massage should ever come as a surprise. I conduct a thorough intake at your first appointment and I explain my treatment plan in detail. I obtain your informed consent - both verbal and written - and I make sure you know you always have the right to withdraw or alter your consent. Your session is about you, not me.Safe Space
I provide a body-positive, trans-friendly space where you can relax and feel like yourself again. Leave your insecurities at the door; your comfort is my utmost priority.Girl Power
I lift weights - HEAVY weights. You want deep pressure? You're in good hands.Custom-Tailored Treatments
I keep track of your preferences: everything from your favourite essential oils and your love of scalp massage to your ticklish feet and the name of your dog. You're not typical; Why should your massage be?Peace & Quiet
Goodbye, noisy clinics and chatty receptionists. Hello, urban oasis. My massage room is tucked away at the back of a fully-separated century home on a residential street, so you can enjoy your massage in silence.Health At Every Size
I use an extra-wide hydraulic massage table and large sheets to accommodate all body types. You won't have to worry about feeling uncovered or your arms falling off the table.Education
I graduated as valedictorian from the best school in Ontario. I have an insatiable thirst for knowledge and I’m constantly taking continuing education courses, often in foreign countries!
