Lisa D. The RMT

Licensed Massage Therapist, Stretch Therapist & Reiki Therapist

Over a decade ago, at the age of 29, Lisa began her journey as an RMT, graduating from the Massage Therapy College of Manitoba in 2013, where she discovered her love for rehabilitative deep-tissue massage treatments.

​

But Lisa isn't just talking the talk. Her obsession with pain recovery comes from experience. She herself has walked the walk...

Empowering Pain Relief

Throughout her teens and well into early adulthood, Lisa maintained an active lifestyle by enjoying long-distance running, weight training, outdoor activities like tenting and hiking; and at the age of 30 she began also caring for her new family... Until her own crippling neck and low-back pain got in the way...

​

How could this have happened... she was strong, and active?!

​

After struggling with short-term relief using mainstream pain treatments, Lisa went within... By applying the  rehabilitative knowledge she was taught about stretch therapy in college, Lisa successfully reversed  the postural dysfunctions that were causing her chronic pain, and unveiled a realization that stretch therapy is in fact foundational to our overall feeling of wellbeing, and continues to remain the best first approach in her treatment plans to help others combat and manage the chronic nature of repetitive strain pain.

Her unique perspective as the patient and therapist has thus given her a clear understanding of what her patients are experiencing, and the edge needed to create the formula for her signature Stretch Therapy methodology.

​

As such, in 2018, FOGAmotion™ was founded when Lisa began teaching the fundamentals of Stretch Therapy through group classes in her community, empowering others to discover how intentional movement and stretching can support the body's innate ability to relieve pain, restore mobility, and feel well.

​

Classes continue to run in spring and autumn, providing participants with opportunity twice a year to reset their bodies for the seasons ahead.

Hi, I'm Lisa D.

About Me

I’m a small town country girl, wife and mom of two, who loves nature and adventure. On my free time I enjoy backyard camping, creating pendulums from recycled jewelry and exploring history and philosophy.

 

Over the last decade, I’ve had a yearning to understand the secrets of the universe, and as such, I’ve embraced change as my teacher. Meditation has taught me that being still opens our minds to creativity and broadens our perspective on abstract ideas -acting like a portal, allowing us to access new insights and healing opportunities every day.
