What is it like at Sken:nen?
I know, you have no idea what you are in for when you book a massage with anyone. That is why I will always do my best to make things comfortable for you.
I have been in your shoes. I have been a massage client and like you, I learned what atmosphere my nervous system preferred.
My treatment room is spacious with calm forest colours, a warm wood pellet fireplace, himalayan salt lamps and a change room of your own. The lights are low, the room is warm and the music is soothing (or you choose the music). You may even fall asleep!
My philosophy is if you want to help people to relax enough to enjoy a massage and treat any musculoskeletal problems, or help with anxiety/depression or sleep, you need them to chill in a chill-worthy environment.
So, my aim is to provide you with the therapeutic, clinical massage therapy help, but in a spa-like atmosphere. I look forward to meeting you and helping you!
What Does Sken:nen Mean?
Sken:nen; (pronounced ‘Sga:nah’), a word in the Kanien’kéha (Mohawk) language for ‘peace’ or ‘serenity’. The language of my Haudenosaunee ancestors. What better way to describe how you will feel after a treatment…more peaceful.
About me

I am a proud Haudenosaunee woman (pronoun her/she), turtle clan member of Tyendinaga. I am honored to operate my business on unceded Algonquin territory in a lovely cedar forest in Kinburn, Ontario.
Just call me the “Nervous System Whisperer”!
My passion is to facilitate wellness in others. I have a calm and comprehensive approach and I can employ different treatments to help you; deep tissue massage, general Swedish massage, myofascial release, joint mobilization and deep tissue treatments like Gua Sha to name a few.
I also like to use aromatherapy and hot towels to enhance your treatment.
As a Reiki practitioner I enjoy releasing energy blocks to accelerate your body’s ability to heal.
So whether you’re a desk jockey, a tradesperson, a stay-at-home parent or a Mom to be, Sken:nen Massage Therapy is for you!
My aim is to leave you feeling better than when you came in the door.
Outside of the treatment room I enjoy the outdoors, cooking, travelling , watching movies and spending time with family and friends.
