Joanne Morrison
Joanne joins Livingwell as a Registered Massage Therapist, having graduated with honours from The
Canadian College of Massage and Hydrotherapy, Halifax.
Originally from South Yorkshire, England. Joanne has lived in Canada since 2006. She was formerly a
nurse practitioner, specializing in the care of critically ill children.
Joanne is excited to be working with the team of health practitioners here at Livingwell and aid in
facilitating healing through the model of collaborative care. Joanne believes that massage therapy offers
benefits to everyone and strives to treat the root of the problem, not just the symptoms. She prides
herself in her holistic approach to treatment when helping her clients to heal. She encourages her clients
to be engaged in their wellness journey and enjoys working with them to formulate a personal treatment
plan that works. She enjoys treating all conditions and ages, from infancy to the elderly, but is
particularly interested in the care of sports injuries, pregnant and postpartum ladies and children from
infancy to teenagers (to which her 2 teenage sons can attest). To compliment her MT skills, Joanne can
offer the additional therapies of Hot stone massage, Indian head massage and Kinesiology Tape
techniques.
In her downtime, Joanne enjoys reading and staying up-to-date on recent trends in the pursuit of
personal wellness. Joanne grew up playing both field and under water hockey and was fortunate to play
field hockey at County level. She has since discovered the delights of soccer and enjoys long walks in the
park with her dog to keep active. A combination of spending time with her friends and family, good food
and wine are her luxuries.
