Emily Tippins, RMT
Registered Massage Therapist

Emily is 2022 graduate of Centennial College’s Massage Therapy program with Honours and am excited to finally be a Registered Massage Therapist. Becoming a Massage Therapist is something that she's wanted to do since she was 17. Life took her in a different direction and she ended up pursuing a different career – but her love for anatomy and movement never disappeared. In 2018 she became a Yoga teacher, and the training reinvigorated the passion that she has for understanding how the body moves. When the pandemic hit, she aw an opportunity to finally turn that passion into a career. 

"The single most important issue for traumatized people is to find a sense of safety within their bodies." (Bessel van der Kolk). This has been a guiding quote for me throughout my education in massage therapy thus far, and I feel strongly that to find any healing – whether an acute injury like a strained muscle, or chronic condition like increased muscle tension – the ability to feel safe is paramount for the brain to allow the body to heal itself. I provide a calm and inviting space to allow the body and mind to feel safe and relaxed. I have widespread interest in treating all conditions from sprains and strains to chronic pain and muscle tightness. I use a variety of techniques such as Swedish massage, trigger point therapy and active/passive stretching to mobilize soft tissue, allowing the body a chance to rest so it can heal itself. 

Outside of massage, I try to find moments of peace and stillness whether that’s doing yoga, reading a book or spending time outside with my family. I prioritize moving my body through yoga, kickboxing, hiking and weight training.
