Craniosacral Therapy, Massage & Somatic Bodywork in Hamilton

With over 30 years of experience as a Registered Massage Therapist, I bring together craniosacral therapy, medical acupuncture, somatic bodywork, and Dolphin NeuroStim (MPS Therapy) to offer personalized, trauma-informed care.

​

Bodywork at Joy Therapy is gentle, attentive, and grounded in how the nervous system responds to stress, injury, and trauma. Rather than forcing change, this work listens carefully to the body and supports its natural capacity to settle, reorganize, and heal.

​

Sessions are respectful, collaborative, and paced to meet you where you are — whether you're seeking relief from pain, support following a concussion or acquired brain injury (ABI), or a deeper sense of ease in your body.

​

This work may support you if you’re…

• Recovering from a concussion, experiencing post-concussion symptoms, or living with an

• acquired brain injury (ABI).

• Living with chronic pain, headaches, migraines, TMJ dysfunction, or persistent neck and shoulder tension.

• Experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, chronic stress, or difficulty relaxing and feeling at ease in your body.

• Navigating trauma, grief, burnout, or the lasting effects of prolonged stress.

• Looking for gentle, personalized massage therapy or bodywork that respects your body's needs and limitations.

 

What a session feels like

Sessions at Joy Therapy are gentle, attentive, and tailored to your individual needs. Using

craniosacral therapy, somatic bodywork, and other therapeutic approaches, I work with your

body's responses to tension, stress and injury. Rather than forcing change, treatment follows your body's cues, allowing areas of tension and holding to gradually soften and release. Many clients describe feeling calmer, more connected to their bodies. Some notice changes during their session, others in the hours or days that follow.

An Integrative Approach to Healing.

Every treatment is tailored to your individual needs. While craniosacral therapy and somatic

bodywork are central to my practice, I may also incorporate medical acupuncture, Dolphin

NeuroStim, and therapeutic massage. I also offer practical tools, including mindfulness, breath awareness, and self-care strategies to help you maintain progress between appointments. My approach combines hands-on treatment with education and collaboration, empowering you to

take an active role in your well-being.
