Our Team

Leigh Elmes, RMT

Born in Toronto and raised in the Caribbean, my diverse professional journey began as a sailor and caterer chef. In my early twenties, I transitioned to becoming a yoga instructor, where I developed a passion for healthy food preparation and holistic wellness. My experiences spanned from working in the Caribbean to the Eastern seaboard of the USA, with a significant time based in Newport, RI.

With a Bachelor of Health Science, I have combined my expertise in health science, fitness, and nutrition to achieve remarkable physical and mental health transformations. Returning to Canada in 2016, I deepened my studies in nutrition and health care, ultimately discovering my true passion in Registered Massage Therapy (RMT). My previous knowledge and clinical training provided a strong foundation for my RMT practice, allowing me to integrate information effectively and confidently apply treatment modalities and orthopedic testing.

In my massage therapy practice, I offer a unique blend of wellness and therapeutic modalities, always prioritizing a client-centered and evidence-based approach. My techniques focus on intention and specificity, providing deep, targeted work complemented by relaxation methods. I firmly believe in the connection between stress, mental health, and illness, which has guided my interest in the psychoneuroimmunological applications of massage therapy.

I am dedicated to continuous learning, particularly in manual therapy techniques and yoga studies, with aspirations to pursue a master’s and Ph.D. in Kinesiology/Clinical Psychology. My commitment to professional growth ensures that I bring the latest and most effective practices to my clients.

I look forward to working together and being a part of your health journey.
