About

Every journey begins somewhere, and ours started well away from the serene environment of a massage clinic. It commenced with the resilience and toil of rigorous physical work, grounded in a Ukrainian-Canadian upbringing where diligence was not merely an ideal but a fundamental aspect of our lifestyle.

I am Val, and prior to ever aspiring to assist individuals in finding relief, I was well-acquainted with the aches and discomfort that arise from pushing one's body to its extremes. My journey first took me into the fast-moving, high-demand realm of meat production. It was a constant whirlwind of activity, heavy lifting, and relentless deadlines—a place where the weariness of the day lingered long after the shift ended.

From there, I made a switch to construction, exchanging one type of strenuous physical labour for yet another. I experienced firsthand just how punishing concrete, steel, and extensive hours can be on the back, neck, shoulders, and every other joint that works hard. I witnessed colleagues and friends struggle, and I too grappled with relentless lower back pain, tight necks, and a deep, chronic discomfort that continued to affect my life long after the workday concluded.

It was during these times, while both experiencing and witnessing the effects of demanding labour on the body, that I was struck by a profound inspiration. I came to understand that my personal experiences with "the grind" provided me with a distinctive viewpoint- a significant empathy that I could apply to helping others. This wasn’t just about gaining knowledge of anatomy; it was about truly apprehending the pain, fatigue, and quiet suffering that committed individuals experience.

This realisation sparked a new passion and unwavering commitment to a different type of craft. I devoted myself completely to becoming a massage therapist, not merely to learn techniques, but to master the healing art and to fully comprehend how to relieve the very discomforts I had myself endured.
