Hi, I’m Hannah
(and I’m so glad you’re here)
As a Registered Massage Therapist governed by the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario (CMTO) I’ve had the privilege of working in various environments including the High Risk Obstetrics Unit at Sunnybrook Hospital where my passion for working with pregnant folks fully emerged. After working at multiple different multidisciplinary clinics in Toronto, I’ve settled into a practice at my home clinic in the West End of Toronto.
In 2022, I began my training as a Birth Doula, Postpartum Doula and Childbirth Educator with Doula Training Canada.
Over the past decade, I have worked with a wide variety of clients but have been continually drawn towards working with folks during pregnancy and postpartum. In 2020 I was given the privilege of welcoming my son into the world and went through the truly transformative journey of becoming a mother. This ignited a passion within me to fully enter the birth space and offer support for parents during the perinatal period.
My work inevitably weaves together my experiences as a mover, movement educator and body worker.
I lead with my values. I believe that Black Lives Matter, Indigenous Lives Matter, Trans Lives Matter, and that the body is deeply political. I acknowledge my privileges as a white, cis-hetero, able bodied woman and remain committed to listening, reflecting and embodying the work of antiracism.
I believe your body does not need to change in shape or size to become valuable.
I believe that movement has the capacity to heal and can be vital to wellness.
Above all else, I believe that each person knows their body best.
Now I’m on a mission to bring continuous care to the prenatal and postnatal wellness space for pregnant and birthing people (along with their partners and families) and to help you feel good and liberated in your body.
I’m a Registered Massage Therapist, a Pre and Postnatal Fitness Specialist, Pilates Instructor and Birth and Postpartum Doula.
I’m a mover, a healer, a listener, an educator and an advocate. I want to help you feel good in your body HOWEVER that looks for you. Whether that is to help you find a way to bring movement into your life, to sink into my massage table for a treatment or to support you during your pregnancy/birth.
I have an undergraduate degree in Dance from York University and an MSc. in Dance Science from Trinity Laban in London England.
In 2012, just after finishing a Masters Degree in Kinesiology, I became a personal trainer and since then have layered on many different movement trainings and modalities including a Pilates certification through Body Harmonics, specialized trainings in pre/postnatal populations through Bellies Inc and a Pre and Postnatal Fitness Specialist Certification through JMG Fitness.
