My name is Gwenn van Riel. I'm a Registered Massage Therapist and Sound Healer. I am currently practicing in Edmonton, Alberta.
I specialize in therapeutic massage therapy, anything from motor vehicle accidents, hamstring tears, rotator cuff injuries, migraines, sciatica issues to plantar fasciitis. Recovering from an injury or misalignment also requires a touch of education and understanding of the issue, which I will provide for you. Included in your massage treatments are an assessment and any rehabilitation education that is required for your body to repair itself. I have created a YouTube channel with yoga videos that will hopefully provide some ease of movement in your everyday life. Woosah Wellness - YouTube
Since graduating from Medicine Hat College with a Massage Therapy Diploma and Sports Massage Therapist Certificate in 2007 I have never stopped learning. I traveled to Thailand to study Thai massage, I've completed a fire cupping course, head, neck & jaw master class, anatomy trains in structure & function and many more that I've learned so much from. In 2018 I finished the Yoga Teacher Training through the Yoga Association of Alberta. I also had the pleasure of mentoring students through their massage therapy clinical practicum at Vicars School of Massage Therapy from 2016-2018. Once I had my daughter in 2018, I choose to move my practice home so that I could balance my business and home life more efficiently. In 2022 I got hired at CDI College as a second year massage therapy instructor and finished in January 2024. I am now working full time from my home based business and absolutely loving it. I am just starting out a brand new health modality of Sound Healing. I am excited to see where this take me.
With all of this knowledge that I've gained over the last 17 years of my career I have to thank my gurus and mentors. It wouldn't be possible without your words of encouragement and love.
Namaste.
