Good day, thank you for taking the time to read this quick message. I have been a massage therapist for 18 years. I graduated from Medicine Hat College with a diploma in massage therapy and also a sports massage certification. Since graduation I have completed over 16 different in person and online educational courses, this includes a 2 year Yoga Teacher Training Certification. I have also added Sound Healing into the mix as a way to diversify my income.
I have worked in wide a variety of work place settings, I have dealt with repetitive strain injuries such as tendinitis and nerve impingement, overcome other unrelated work injuries, career burnout, educated second year massage students, worked throughout my pregnancy and built a successful massage career as a sole proprietor.
I would love to share my knowledge with you so you don't make the same mistakes I made. Massage therapy is a demanding career and it requires you to grow and learn not only about treating your clients but also about yourself.
I have created a self guided 3 hour online program to create awareness on how you can take care of yourself and enjoy a long lasting career in massage therapy. The second program is a mentorship opportunity. To find out more about that just keep on scrolling.
Career Longevity Program is designed to teach you and help you understand what muscles you need to strengthen and lengthen, understand what the shoulder girdle and neck are doing while we work, nutritional information to sustain your energy throughout your day, create career goals and come up with a plan so we don't hit physical or mental burnout and lastly we chat about the importance of taking care of our emotional and energetic needs. Its important for us caregivers to nurture ourselves and hold space for our own needs.
The cost of the program is $90 (including GST). Once you decide its time to sign up then send me an email to gwenn@woosahwellness.com that you are interested and send the e-transfer to gwennvanriel@gmail.com.
You will receive an invitation to the private pages of this website and you will have access for a full year to complete the program.

MTAA - 3 credits (Personal Development)
NHPC - 5 credits
CRMTA (in the works of getting it approved)

“I highly recommend this course to any massage therapist, especially those who value their health physically, mentally, and emotionally. Gwenn has a profound and passionate understanding of how the body works. She has beautifully compiled her experience and wisdom in a course that is concise and organized, with suggestions that are easy to incorporate into one’s daily routine. I have been a client of Gwenn’s for years now and with her guidance, I truly believe she has prevented me from sustaining many work related injuries.
With such a high burnout rate in this industry, I think this courses a must for every massage therapist that strives to maintain their bodies and sustain a long and healthy career.” - Karlee, RMT,CAc
