Megan O'Reilly
Registered Massage Therapist/Clinic Owner
Since a young age, Megan has always been involved in sports and athletics. The love of being active led her to her first post-secondary school program; Fitness and Health Promotions at Fanshawe College. Once she graduated in 2014 with some new expertise on the functions of the body, she continued her education and started the Massage Therapy program. When it was time to graduate from Massage Therapy in 2016, Megan hit the ground running and used all of the education she learned from the past years and began to help her clients.
Megan describes her treatment style as therapeutic with a side of relaxation. She uses many swedish massage and fascial release techniques to relax tight and tense muscles but will also incorporate relaxation techniques to allow her clients the time they need to forget about the stresses of their everyday lives. Other techniques that Megan has been educated on is cupping therapy, which can be added to any treatment.
Megan loves being a Massage Therapist and is grateful to be able to help people enhance their everyday lives and is ready to help clients, whether they need therapeutic support or would just like to relax.
