Welcome!
Skén:nen = Inner Peace
Find yours…
What is it like at Skén:nen?
My treatment room is a large, safe space (largest in the Ottawa area!) with a serene, Boreal forest atmosphere.
My passion is to help calm your nervous system with massage therapy. Tapping into this first helps you heal from injuries, reduce muscle tension and stress, enhance sleep or soothe anxiety/depression.
My aim is to provide you with the therapeutic, clinical massage treatment you need in a peaceful atmosphere. I look forward to meeting you and helping you!
About Me
After experiencing the transformative power of massage in my own life, I became a Registered Massage Therapist, licensed with the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario (CMTO). I own and operate my home clinic in the cosy town of Kinburn, just 20 minutes west of Kanata.
My aim is to help facilitate your body’s own capacity to heal. I provide a hybrid mix of therapeutic and relaxation massage designed to help relieve the sensation of pain, relax sore muscles, reduce stress and tension and improve your overall wellness. I use different modalities/techniques to enhance my treatments; such as Indian Head Massage, Reiki and Hot Stone Therapy, myofascial/active release, gua sha, lymphatic drainage and a bit of Thai massage. I look forward to helping you achieve your wellness goals!
When I am not pursuing my calling in life, I am traveling with my husband, Chad, gardening, cooking and canning in my kitchen, taking long walks with my Boxer, Maskwa, or chilling with my Maine Coon/Norwegian Forest Cat, Teddy.

Skén: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.
The white pine tree is very significant to Haudenosaunee people. It is a symbol of their peace agreement, ‘The Great Law of Peace’, that was established more than 500 years ago. They solidified their commitment by burying their weapons under a white pine tree. The four roots at the bottom represent the four directions (East, West, South and North).
