Our Mission
Our mission is to build a team of passionate and gifted therapists that share our commitment to excellent client care, quality continuing education, and adequate self-care. By continuing to educate yourself in massage theory, techniques and modalities, you can provide your clients with better insight and value. Self-care is vital for both our clients and our RMT’s. The work a massage therapist does is physically demanding, and it is important that you prioritize your health. Proper breathing technique, stretches, exercise, and body mechanics are important for you and your clients to stay happy and healthy, to be your best selves.
Our Vision
Our vision is to make Alleviate Massage Therapy & Wellness Centre a great place for your practice, to ensure that you are happy and fulfilled. By providing above-average compensation, a team-oriented outlook and prioritizing your health and well-being, we hope you will have a long and healthy massage therapy career with us.
Our Goal
Our goal is to make Alleviate a place where you and your massage therapy practice thrive. We place a high value on clear and respectful communication with other therapists, the administrative staff and our clients. We expect you to be able to set professional boundaries. We want you to feel that coming to Alleviate every day is a joy. Using a team approach, we share knowledge and techniques in order to help each therapist continue their growth. While our clients are our priority, we know that therapists who are happy and healthy will provide exceptional care. We want our therapists to live how we teach our clients to live: achieve a balanced life by making time for your family and friends, staying active, and finding your wellness balance. We prioritize your self-care -- taking care of yourself is essential not only to your health but also to the longevity of your massage therapy career. When you have excellent time management skills, you are less likely to get burned out or injured.
