Jennifer Lloyd, Registered Massage Therapist /Owner
My career in massage therapy began in 2004 after graduating with honours from the Canadian College of Massage and Hydrotherapy. Coming from a mixed background in photography and administrative work, I knew I had found my passion in massage therapy. Listening to my client’s health concerns and helping them realize their wellness goals was something that came very naturally to me.
Since becoming an RMT, I have worked in numerous clinics with chiropractors and naturopaths and backstage with musicians, dancers and wrestlers. In 2011, I opened RMT Studio to create an atmosphere and design a space that matches my passion for helping people feel better.
Over the last couple of years, I have been blessed to see the studio grow and have a team of talented and passionate therapists work alongside me to help clients achieve the best health and wellness. I love my community and am excited for many more years ahead.

AYMEN EZZINE, Registered Acupuncturist | Registered Massage Therapist
Aymen has always found the human body and soul combination to be fascinating, which led him to understand it from the Eastern and Western points of view.
During his own personal journey of healing and achieving a balanced lifestyle, he discovered a variety of self-help tools that helped him and, in turn, can assist you with your spiritual and physical journey and help you achieve balance in your lifestyle where in today’s society can be difficult to do it on your own. As a Massage Therapist, he has learned to utilize his hands to help locate the imbalance and ultimately make his clients feel better. While practicing as a Massage Therapist, he decided to expand his learning in the world of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
In 2011, he travelled from Tunisia to Toronto to attend the Shiatsu School of Canada, where he completed his certification for TCM Acupuncture. The philosophy of TCM has become a staple in his personal life. He became more aware of how the body functions, the source of health issues, and emotions. The impact of our eating habits, environment, and activities have on our health and bodies.
Today, he can do what he loves – help people suffering from chronic pain and guide them toward solutions and overall improved well-being. By understanding the root cause of the imbalance and using a variety of modalities such as deep tissue massage, myofascial release, trigger point release, Acupressure, Cupping, Acupuncture, Gua-Sha (Graston), Auricular acupuncture, Moxibustion and Tuina, he helps his clients cope with their daily activities with ease.

Alyssa is a Registered Massage Therapist in good standing with the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario and has been practicing in Toronto since graduating from Sutherland Chan School of Massage Therapy in 2019. Alyssa grounds her therapy on her belief that a safe and effective treatment requires a comprehensive understanding of each client’s specific wellness goals. To implement this belief, Alyssa uses a bio-psycho-social framework that fosters a deep understanding of each individual’s unique needs.

Alyssa believes that a client’s comfort is essential to calming the nervous system, which allows for the relaxation of both mind and body towards holistic wellness.
Personally, Alyssa works to practice mindfulness and body awareness, which she also works to foster collaboratively with each of her clients. She values self-care practices and considers each client’s goals and preferences when recommending self-care, often turning to hydrotherapy, gentle stretching, and functional strengthening as self-affirming wellness tools.
