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. Having come from a mixed background in photography and administrative work I knew I had found my passion in massage therapy. Listening to my clients’ health concerns and helping realize their wellness goals was something that came very natural to me.
Since becoming an RMT I have worked in numerous clinics with chiropractors and naturopaths as well as 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 to have a team of talented and passionate therapists work along side me to help clients achieve the best in health and wellness. I love my community and am excited for many more years ahead.
