I, Nathan Merritt graduated from Massage therapy school back in 2016 out of Ontario. The initial moment that peaked my interest for massage was back in 2011 when I was competing in Red Bull Crashed Ice. Prior to my event starting I was extremely sore and didn’t feel ready. Within a 30 minute sport style massage treatment, I was feeling a night and day difference! From that moment on, I had an interest in being able to provide something like that for people and athletes alike.

After now practicing massage therapy here in Alberta for nearly 2 years, I’ve learned a lot of things. My goal with each client that walks through my door is to find your bodies point of symmetry. Imbalances are very common in each individual and they vary drastically. My ideology is to get your body back to its best point of “symmetry”. Through regular massage, treatment plans, strengthening, stretching and a mobility routine, we can work towards improving and maintaining most body and mind situations. At the end of the day, it’s a team effort always. I look forward to working with you.
