About Alyssa
Background & Approach
I have worked as a Registered Massage Therapist since 2013 and as a Manual Osteopathic Therapist since 2019, providing individualized, client-centred care while maintaining a strong commitment to professional standards, safety, and continuing education.
Throughout my career, I have developed a strong passion for education and professional development. During my time with the Alberta College of Massage Therapy, I held several roles that allowed me to share my clinical knowledge and industry expertise with future practitioners through instruction and educational content development. This experience led me to independently develop and deliver courses and workshops, several of which have since been purchased and utilized by massage therapy and osteopathic organizations across Alberta.
