Heather is one of our favourite guests and collaborators and she’s back to tell us everything we have missed since we last hung out. Aside from being fully immersed into massage therapy after taking a hiatus from the profession years ago, she has become a business owner, co-founder of the Oshawa Wellness Collective, an educator for other therapists, and most recently- THE massage therapist for the Oshawa FireWolves Lacrosse club! This opportunity came to Heather at the end of last year and she’s still pinching herself and can’t believe she gets to do this work.

A few weeks back, we released an episode where Sam spoke about certain frameworks within healthcare, namely evidence based practice and patient centred care, and how there are flaws within these frameworks. Bodhi is a first time guest and felt Sam’s analysis required further discussion. For the first time ever, we brought in two guests with very different views and had them discuss these topics from their knowledge, perspective, and experience. Listen to see where you stand.2rmtsandamic.com

Elizabeth started her bodywork career with an interest in helping pregnant people. She holds a midwifery license in the United States and even did some training here before ultimately deciding to take another route. Her search for a meaningful career led her to learn Maya Abdominal massage, an ancient abdominal massage supporting the muscles, fascia, organs, circulation, and lymphatic system. This non-invasive technique alongside other holistic modalities was fulfilling but came with limitations. She decided to pursue massage therapy to gain more access to helping even more women. She’s got a lot of insight into holistic healthcare and what limitations we also face with a regulatory body.
