After acquiring an Advanced Diploma from Humber College's 3-year Massage Therapy program, Tamika has successfully developed skills, techniques, and great compassion for helping those in need. Since graduation in 2014, she has provided registered massage therapy services through various environments including In-Clinic & mobile massage franchises, spas, multidisciplinary clinics, hospitals, and has been the sole owner of her private practice, Merritt Mobile Massage, since the Summer of 2019.
She is registered through the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario and remains in good standing with the CMTO. Her additional education certification includes Pregnancy Care, Infant Massage, Craniosacral Therapy, TMJ Disfunction, Reiki (Level 1), Reflexology (Level 1), Myofascial Cupping, Dermoneuromodulation, Serronergy, Remedial Exercise, and Virtual Home Care. She has also completed multiple Infection Prevention and Control core competency modules provided by Public Health Ontario to keep updated sanitary practices.
In practice for over a decade, her professional sessions surround treating musculoskeletal issues, headaches and migraines, sleeping pattern issues, TMJ conditions, pre-and postnatal care, and the overall maintenance of healthy muscle and connective tissue. Tamika can provide an experience that will help you achieve a calm mind and true relaxation while creating balance and realignment of the body. Clients usually describe her treatments as massage, osteo and physio all in one as that is how multifaceted the scope of registered massage therapy can be.
Her current passions are: continuing education on the nervous system, the relationships between mental and physical health, and home care with self-care tools to better the body. She also greatly enjoys: the art and history of belly-dancing (including dancing in a troupe herself), music as therapy, travelling the world, and most importantly family (canines included)!
Mobile (In-Home) treatments are available throughout the week except Sundays.
