ABOUT
Welcome! My name is Tatyana. I am the Registered Massage Therapist at The Walnut Tree mini-clinic, practicing since 2015.
I first graduated from the University of Alberta with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Acting degree and have since performed with numerous theatre companies from Edmonton. I took a two-year hiatus from performing to study Massage Therapy and here I am now, having graduated from Vicars School of Massage in Edmonton, completing the 2,200-hour (2-year) program with Honours. In 2019, I have also fully certified as a Vodder Manual Lymph Drainage therapist.
I am a member of the Massage Therapist Association of Alberta and my passion is in helping individuals heal, whether that means stress management or treating a physical injury. My approach to massage therapy is that it must be customizable (no two bodies are the same), safe, and effective, where all clients are treated with the utmost respect and care.
CONTINUING EDUCATION AND WORKSHOPS
It is helpful for massage therapists to stay current, hone additional skill sets, and expand their knowledge. These are the following workshops and classes that Tatyana attended in her post-graduate training thus far:
