INK + HAIR

[IT’S MY NEXT THING 🙂]

Some of you may already know that after completing my RMT program in January, I immediately signed up to train to become a Manual Osteopathic Therapist. (The program I signed up for is considered a graduate level MOT program building on participants’ required previous training as an RMT, physiotherapist, naturopath, etc - so it is an accelerated program.)

As part of my schooling, I am now offering student MOT treatments out of my current studio space - and I’d love to see you!

WHAT IS MANUAL OSTEOPATHIC THERAPY?
Manual Osteopathic Therapy is a hands-on, holistic approach that focuses on restoring balance and function to the body. By gently assessing and treating the muscles, joints, fascia, and other soft tissues, this therapy helps relieve pain, improve mobility, and support the body’s natural healing processes. It’s a non-invasive, drug-free treatment that addresses the root causes of discomfort—perfect for those seeking long-term relief and improved overall wellness.

CONDITIONS BEST TREATED BY MOT
Manual Osteopathic Therapy can help relieve a wide range of musculoskeletal and functional conditions by gently restoring balance and mobility throughout the body. It is particularly effective for treating back and neck pain, joint and muscle stiffness, headaches and migraines, postural imbalances, sciatica, and repetitive strain injuries. Because osteopathy focuses on the root cause of dysfunction—not just the symptoms—it’s a versatile therapy for both chronic and acute issues, as well as preventative care.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT AT YOUR FIRST VISIT
Your first session begins with a thorough assessment of your health history, posture, and movement to understand your unique concerns and goals.

This is followed by a hands-on treatment using gentle, targeted techniques to release tension, improve alignment, and restore balance in the body. The treatments are performed fully clothed, and we ask you to arrive in (or bring) comfortable clothes you can easily move in - like what you’d wear to a yoga class.

INITIAL SESSION (~75 min) :: $75
SUBSEQUENT SESSIONS (~45 min) :: $45

[SUMMER SKIN GLOW-UP WITH MICRONEEDLING] $365

Did you know microneedling is a great treatment to get during the summer?

Here’s why:
✅ Boosts collagen for firmer, smoother skin
✅ Helps regulate oil production
✅ Helps fade sunspots and fine lines
✅ Improves texture and acne scars
✅ Keeps your summer glow ✨ natural and radiant
✅ Safe with proper sun protection 🌞🧴

WHAT IS MICRONEEDLING?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that immediately triggers your body’s healing response, facilitating collagen production, and skin cell regeneration. It gets rid of the old and dead skin cells, replacing them with new and fresh skin cells, making you look refreshed and rejuvenated. Meanwhile, the collagen fibers strengthen your skin, making it appear firm, taut and supple.

WHAT’S INCLUDED?
This 90 min treatment begins with a deep double cleanse, dermaplaning, enzyme peel, followed by a tension releasing neck and shoulder massage while your skin numbs. The microneedling treatment is performed with our BrightRX skin booster for powerful antioxidant protection from UV exposure while promoting an even skin complexion. We finish up with red light therapy and packing your skin with more nourishment.

🧴🧴When you come in for this treatment before July 31st, you can select a sunscreen of your choice to take home (up to $90 value). 💝💝

PRO TIP: Schedule treatments at the end of the day when you can head straight home when the UV index is low - and keep the treatment serums on your skin overnight. Then protect your results with consistent SPF use from the very next day.

Ready for refreshed, healthy skin all summer long? Let’s get you glowing! 🌺. DM with any questions or book online at link in profile.

[JUNE PROMO :: BRIGHTRX ADVANCED FACIAL] $345 (reg $399)

This 90 min treatment uses an advanced skin booster from Korea designed to target pigmentation and brighten the complexion. We begin by prepping the skin with Dermaplaning or a light chemical peel - then the booster is lightly stamped into the skin with a microchanneling device - then finish with an LED light treatment focused on targeting pigmentation.

Formulated with key ingredients like Tranexamoyl Dipeptide-23, Glutathione, Vitamin C, and Arbutin, this skin booster effectively reduces melanin production, diminishes dark spots, and promotes an even skin tone. These powerful components block the action of tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for melanin formation, while enhancing skin elasticity and providing antioxidant benefits.

This multi-step whitening solution not only targets deep-rooted pigmentation but also improves skin elasticity and turnover. The combination of Niacinamide, N-Acetyl Glucosamine, and Peptides ensures optimal skin regeneration, hydration, and anti-aging benefits.
