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.
