Roxy Oliver, RMT

Okay, you guys made this WAY too hard to choose just one winner 😂

We had THREE people finish 19/20 squares and one complete the ENTIRE card! 🤯

So we’re spreading the Stress Less love around 💚

Paula completed the full BLACKOUT and gets 30 bonus minutes added to her next 60 min massage + a little Sitka treat!

Taylor, Connie-Lee & Elizabeth each completed an incredible 19/20 squares, so they’re each getting 15 bonus minutes added to their next 60 mins massage + a little Sitka treat!

Thank you guys for actually running with this challenge. I loved watching those cards fill up! 🥹💚

Well this was a pretty freaking cool surprise today! 🥹🥉

Just shy of six months into my career as an RMT and I took Bronze in Community Votes Fort McMurray!

There were SO many amazing RMTs nominated this year, so seeing my name on that winners list feels pretty damn special.

I knew pretty quickly that I had found something I loved and was good at, but I don’t think I expected how quickly I would build the clientele and connections that I have.

Every rebooking, every referral, every time someone tells a friend “you need to go see my massage therapist” and now every vote… it all means so much to me. 🖤

Thank you to everyone who has trusted me on my table, recommended me to your friends and family, shared my name and voted for me.

Just shy of six months in and already this much support… yeah, I’m pretty damn proud of this one. 🥉🖤

It’s Monday… but it’s my Friday. 🙌

And looking back, my treatment room saw a little bit of everything this week:

🦶 Plantar fasciitis
💪 Forearm tendinitis
🦵 Leg spasms
🤕 Tension headaches
🫁 Intercostal tightness
💆‍♀️ Stress & nervous system regulation
💧 Lymphatic treatments
🦿 Post-op knee recovery
🏃‍♂️ Elite youth athletes
🙌 Thoracic outlet symptoms
🍑 Piriformis syndrome

…and that’s only some of it.

One of my favourite things about being an RMT is figuring out what your body needs that day. Sometimes that’s targeted therapeutic work. Sometimes it’s recovery. And sometimes you just need an hour to breathe and let somebody else take care of you.

Now this RMT is officially off duty. ☕😂

It’s officially back-to-school season! 📚🍎

Whether you’re sending little ones back to school, big ones off to college, or apparently starting Year 2 as a proud SAIT Mom 🙋🏼‍♀️😂… September always feels like the start of a new routine.

And after a summer of running in every direction, maybe it’s time to put yourself back on the schedule too. 💆🏼‍♀️

Back to routines. Back to taking care of yourself.
And maybe… back to regular massage. 😉

Happy back-to-school season, YMM! ❤️

Life outside the treatment room. ☀️💦

Taking some time to enjoy YMM’s beautiful rivers today. 💙

And if you haven’t been down to the river beach in Waterways yet… you’re missing out!

Sunshine, fresh air, good company and a little time on the water. Pretty perfect afternoon. ☀️

🚨 TWO LAST-MINUTE OPENINGS TONIGHT!
6:00pm + 7:15pm!!

There’s something beautiful about the room after a restorative practice. 🤍

Blankets everywhere. Bolsters abandoned. Blocks scattered across the floor. Candles still glowing.

I ask everyone to leave it exactly as it is.

No folding. No putting props away. No rushing back into doing.

I want the rest to continue for just a little longer. Let me take care of the cleanup while you quietly take yourself home.

Because even cleaning up this beautiful mess feels like part of the practice. ✨ Namaste
