Hello,

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. 

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. During this time I completed a Sound Healing Certification with Tiffany Sparrow. 

I am now working part time from my home based business and part time on Whyte Ave. 

The most recent certification is learning the Graston Technique. This is where we incorporate stainless steel instruments into your massage to enhance your therapeutic massage experience. 

With all of this knowledge that I've gained over the last 18 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.
