Bernadette was awarded as the top academic student as her massage school. She then worked in a physical therapy clinic for a number of years before opening her own home practice. Her speciality is performing Orthopaedic and Neuromuscular Assessments in order to treat various soft tissue pathologies and disorders.
Bernadette is trained by an orthopaedic surgeon in ‘Cross – fibre Corrective Muscular Therapy’ or ‘Deep Transverse Friction Therapy’ that treats scar tissue from previous (chronic) strains, sprains and soft tissue injuries in a tendon or ligament, tendinitis or fasciitis. Based on her Kinesiology training, she prescribes home care exercises and stretches.
If you require relief from edema caused by past cancer treatments, sport injuries, surgery, physical therapy or chiropractic treatments, she performs Lymphatic Drainage.

In addition to being a 3000 Hour RMT, she was medically trained as a registered Emergency Medical Responder through the Alberta College of Paramedics.
