-- Book your private session in our cozy, boutique space. Experience what it means to have dedicated time and - space just for your wellness journey. -
-- Free form/improvisational movement and mobility training as a form of personal and artistic expression and - wellness is what ultimately drives Dahlia to continue to learn about our amazing bodies and how we can all - move more gracefully as we age. -
-- Remedial exercise aka "Rem-Ex" instruction involves teaching a few targeted strength, stretch or - mobility exercises that are aimed at furthering the benefits of massage therapy long term, which is - an intrinsic component of a comprehensive treatment. -
-- Although this often comes highly recommended, not everyone is interested in learning a new exercise - immediately after having a massage. This makes a lot of sense, and yet Dahlia will still do her best - to encourage you, within reason. -
-That said, clients have a few options:
-- Clients may request or deny remedial exercise instruction as part of treatment, based on their - personal goals. -
-- Clients can request to allot up to 50% of their treatment time (15 to 45 minutes) for Rem-Ex - instruction before or after their massage. -
-- Clients can also sign up for upcoming movement workshops for a more comprehensive group learning - experience. -
-- The original concept of Ebb'nFlow Massage (now Ebb'nFlow Therapeutics) was born out of Dahlia's - initial work as a yoga instructor, before she became a massage therapist. Dahlia taught private, - one-on-one sessions as well as classes around the GTA from 2004-2009. -
-- She recognized the need to meet students where they were instead of insisting that they push through - their pain and fatigue similarly to the approach of a personal trainer. Some days they would arrive - in a lot of pain and would need a gentler approach such as more periods of rest or "ebb" between - exercises or hands on work such as massage at the end of their sessions. -
-- Dahlia's natural talent for massage as a component of her sessions enabled students to show up more - consistently for practice instead of skipping practice out of concern that they would not be able to - make it through a session. -
-- Since consistency is key to success, a more fluid and compassionate approach to teaching one-on-one - was born and clients were given permission to move as they needed through periods of "ebb" or "flow" - with grace and freedom from the need to over achieve. -
-- Dahlia's movement and mobility workshops are aimed towards adults and seniors and offer - opportunities to gain greater strength, flexibility, mobility and balance as well as to embrace - the discovery of one's own unique expression through movement and dance. -
