Chiropractor, Dr. Annie Ouellet
Dr. Annie started seeing a chiropractor early in life around 8 years old. She was sick a lot as a child and had a weak immune system. Someone told her mother that a chiropractor could help increase her body’s defenses, and it worked great. She continued seeing a chiropractor for injuries such as downhill skiing falls, and she always had amazing results.
Chiropractor, Dr. Milcah Hiemstra
Dr. Hiemstra saw a chiropractor for the first time as an undergraduate student who was having a lot of pain and stress. The chiropractor spent time talking with her about her pain, and stress before she was treated. This meant a lot to her because she showed me that she knew what was causing my pain and cared enough to spend the time to explain it to me. Since then, she’s always wanted to make her patients feel like they’re being heard when they’re in her office.
Registered Massage Therapist, Leigh-Ann Tingley
After 17 years working in an office, Leigh-Ann began searching for an encore career when the office closed. As she always enjoyed working with her hands, massage therapy represented a good fit for her.
Leigh-Ann graduated in 2012 from the 2,200-hour massage program at Eastern College in Moncton, N.B. Every year she takes continuing education courses and has completed coursework in several types of massage therapy and techniques, including cupping. She especially likes helping athletes, particularly runners.
Leigh-Ann is a member in good standing of the Massage Therapists’ and Wholistic Practitioners’ Association of the Maritimes (MTWPAM).
Registered Massage Therapist, Joanna Blades
Growing up in rural NS Joanna was never a stranger to manual labor, so when massage therapy caught her eye she jumped into her first career with both feet.
Joanna graduated in 2010 from the 2,200-hour massage program at ICT Northumberland College in Halifax, NS. Her treatments are a blend of Swedish massage, deep tissue, & relaxation with a focus on home care. As a runner herself, working with athletes is her number one. Joanna is a member of the Massage Therapists’ & Wholistic Practitioners’ Association of the Maritimes. (MTWPAM)
Outside the clinic Joanna spends most of her time hiking with her dog Rex & enjoys a good book with a cup of tea.
Registered Massage Therapist, Angela Carter
Angela Carter graduated from Kiné Concept in 2002 with a 2200 hour program. She has experience in a wide variety of techniques from lymphatic drainage, deep tissue massage as well as cupping. She started out on her own upon graduation by opening Hands in Motion in Moncton, NB and has worked in multi-disciplinary clinics in Alberta as well as most recently with Lifemark here in Amherst.
When not working on the farm, she enjoys going out on her motorcycle with her family and spending as much time outdoors as possible.
