Serenity In The Brook

✨ Dawn here! 🤍 A little fun fact about me: I love studying in my car! 🚗📚

Currently investing in myself and my growth as a massage therapist through continuing education, especially in jaw and facial massage. 🤍💆‍♀️

My car has become my little mobile classroom - a quiet space to learn, grow, and keep refining my skills so I can better serve my clients. 🫶🏼✨

Because learning never stops, and there’s always room to grow! 🌿

A moment of gratitude. A moment to slow down.

This Thanksgiving, we’re reflecting on the importance of rest, the quiet power of touch, and the privilege of caring for you.

May this season bring you warmth, stillness, and a little more room to breathe.

With gratitude, Serenity In The Brook 🤎

October, already.

Three months remain in the year.

If you have massage benefits to use, now is a good time to make use of them. Annual benefits expire December 31, and unused amounts do not carry forward into the new year.

No urgency. Just a gentle reminder to make space for something that tends to get postponed.

Book your appointment online, whenever it suits you.

A little time set aside for yourself, before the year comes to a close.

As summer begins to soften.

Longer evenings.
Slower mornings.
A subtle change in the air.

There is still time to pause before the rhythm of a new season begins.

A quiet room.
Skilled hands.
An hour devoted entirely to you.

Make a little space for yourself.

Tomorrow, the backpacks return.
The lunchboxes reappear.
The house gets quiet.

And somewhere between the first bell and your first uninterrupted coffee, you may remember that you, too, have a body that deserves a little attention.

Consider this your reminder to pause, reset, and make some space for yourself.

With two RMTs offering thoughtful, personalized care in a calm, private home setting, we’re here when you’re ready.

After a summer of taking care of everyone else, this one’s for you. 🤍

Happy Labour Day.

🍎Teachers, this one is for you! 🍎

Before September rolls around and your benefits reset, don’t forget to use them! 💆🏼‍♀️

Teaching is rewarding, but we know it can also be physically and mentally demanding. Take some time for yourself and book a massage therapy session before the school year resumes.

🗓️ September will be here before you know it!

Seven years ago, you welcomed me into your home and Serenity in the Brook was created. I'm so grateful for that ❤️

Dawn, Thank you for believing in me, for your friendship, and for building this beautiful practice together. 🩷🩷
It's been such a privilege to grow alongside you while helping so many wonderful clients.

To everyone who has trusted us over the past seven years—thank you for being part of our journey. We appreciate you more than words can say.

Here's to seven amazing years, and many more to come. ✨ 🥂 ✨

Choosing the right massage length can make a big difference in how much we’re able to address during your treatment.

60 minutes, is perfect for relaxation or focused work on 1-2 areas.

75 minutes, gives us more time to work on multiple problem areas without feeling rushed.

90 minutes, allows for slower, more comprehensive bodywork and is ideal if you’re dealing with both upper and lower body tension.

Therapist tip: If you have tension in multiple areas, 75 or 90 minutes often leads to a more effective treatment.

Not sure which to book? We’re always happy to help guide you.

Save this post for the next time you schedule your massage.

One small act of kindness changed the course of my life - and led me here, 20 years later.
(This was me 20 years ago - just starting out, full of hope, and supported by someone who believed I was meant for more.)

I was working in a restaurant, saving every dollar to write my provincial exams.
There was a gentleman who worked in the same building. He would frequently stop in for lunch and always ask me about my future plans.
One day, in a completely unexpected gesture - with no ties, no expectation - he paid for my exams because he believed in me.

That quiet act of generosity set the stage for everything that followed.

Over the years, I’ve met the most extraordinary people through this work:

•The ones who trusted me during their battles with cancer.

•The ones who shared their life stories - their heartbreak, their joy, their wisdom.

•The ones who bravely placed their trauma in my hands.

•The clients who were with me before kids - and during pregnancies - who checked in on me and even sent food when I was expecting.

•The ones who have shared experiences with my family in small, meaningful ways.

•The ones who encourage me to teach and grow, even when self-doubt or anxiety creeps in.

•And the ones who still drive once a year to catch up since I moved my practice.

You have shaped me.

This has never just been a job. It has been connection, trust, vulnerability, and community.

Every story shared, every tear shed, every laugh exchanged - I carry them all with me.

The greatest gift of these 20 years hasn’t been the career - it’s been the people. ❤️
