Testimonials:
“I have been receiving therapeutic massage from Alix Morrison for 7 years. Alix is able to find tension in my body effectively with her understanding of the muscles and body mechanics. She re-assesses at the beginning of every appointment to determine which areas need her attention. Alix has incredibly strong hands and techniques to release my stubborn tense muscles and I feel so much better after. Many of her clients are athletes. Her suggestions for home exercises have proven to be helpful as well. I would not hesitate to recommend Alix to my dental hygiene colleagues and friends or anyone wanting a truly excellent experience with a pleasant, professional registered massage therapist!” – Holly McDonald, Community Dental Hygienist “I have recommended Alix to many over the years – she is professional, energetic, a great sense of humour and an excellent RMT. I always walk out the door feeling so much better than when I walked in. She takes time to listen, assess, answer questions and makes sure I am doing exercises she recommends correctly. Alix loves what she does and it shows!” – K.R.
