Genevieve Cholette, RMT

I graduated from a 2 year massage program at Everest College. I use a variety of therapeutic modalities to provide an effective massage including Swedish massage, myo-fascial release techniques, nuro-muscular techniques (trigger point therapy), joint mobilizations, and muscle energy work.
I have diverse clinical experience with professional level athletes, runners, office workers, palliative care patience, cancer survivors, and expecting mothers. I have recently taken a hot stone massage workshop and is in the process of completing my carpal tunnel specialty course. When not working I enjoy playing soccer, practicing yoga, running, reading, and traveling. I am very lucky to be practicing a profession I truly love.

Kristin Peterson, BSc, CBP, CAHP, RMT

Kristin Peterson is a Certified BodyTalk Practitioner, a Certified Acupuncturist, a Registered Massage Therapist, and has a Bachelor of Science in Sports Medicine.

Kristin completed her Bachelor of Science while on a volleyball scholarship to Mercyhurst College in Erie, PA. Once she returned home to Saskatchewan, she worked as a physiotherapy assistant for a year while she began taking courses to learn the BodyTalk System. After a year as a PTA, she decided to add massage therapy and acupuncture to her resume and moved to Toronto for schooling. Following completion, she moved to Ottawa to begin her professional career.

BodyTalk is a consciousness-based healthcare system that balances accumulated stress and resulting disease within the bodymind. It is non-invasive and can be used as a stand-alone system or can be integrated with any other healthcare choices. By re-synchronizing the body's energy systems and reconnecting the lines of communication, the body's internal mechanisms are able to operate optimally as nature intended. By facilitating this optimal communication, it allows the body to repair and prevent disease while rapidly accelerating the healing process. BodyTalk can resolve health challenges, whether they be physical, mental or emotional.
Kristin is still very intrigued with this amazing system and continues taking courses to expand her range of knowledge to provide more in depth sessions for her clients.

Kristin is very passionate about assisting clients on their journey to wellness and she looks forward to combining various modalities in order to maximize their improvements.
