MEET THE TEAM
Meet Miranda, RMT
Miranda is a brilliant massage therapist who specializes in therapeutic deep tissue, myofascial release, intra-oral, Graston Technique, stretch therapy, mobility, chronic pain relief and Thai massage. She provides steady, firm, deep pressure to help you feel deeply worked over and unwound. She offers diversity and specificity with technique, and an expert level of skill during every assessment and treatment.
Miranda is relentlessly driven by the hope and idea that she’s inspiring others through her actions to reach their potential in life and health, leaving a positive imprint on whomever she comes in contact with. This has led to her intentional cultivation of authentic relationships with her massage therapy clientele as well as a motivated and inspired team culture with her current practitioners on staff.
Miranda is a proponent of immersing herself in emotional, physical and spiritual work that is challenging, and using all the resources available to stretch her potential which she hopes encourages her clientele, staff, and community to do the same for themselves. Her passion and desire for showing her clientele what massage and other holistic therapies can do to propel them towards taking responsibility for their daily wellness, is only superseded by her fascination with biology and human anatomy.
She insists that it’s the most amazing gift when we can understand the importance of, and love the process of, falling in love with caring for our amazing bodies and minds.
When she is not in clinic with patients, or working on growing the business outside of clinic hours, you can find Miranda singing at the occasional open mic in Edmonton, immersed in a book as she tries to read almost every day, or engaging in her summer hobbies of golfing, hiking or traveling.
It is Miranda’s hope that her passion and high standards for her work and business shines through in every patient interaction and is, by extension, represented through her hand-picked and rigorously trained staff. Come say hi and feel encouraged to be your authentic self when you’re on Miranda’s table (or Thai mat!)
