What We Offer

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy consists primarily of hands-on manipulation of the soft tissues of the body, specifically, the muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments and joints for the purpose of optimizing health.

PILOXING® Barre

PILOXING Barre is a high energy, choreographed, cardio class that combines Pilates, dance and boxing, along with the use of a ballet barre for support, resistance and to enhance range of motion.

Fletcher® Pilates

Fletcher Pilates techniques are effectively used for wide variety of therapeutic and physical conditioning needs. Overall posture, tone, flexibility and breathing are enhanced.

Stretch

Body Alive offers weekly stretch classes designed to help clients complete activities of daily living with more ease. Stretching also assists those wishing to enhance their performance and reduce recovery time with specific sports.

Health Coaching

Health Coaching is an evidence-based practice that serves to assist people in making behavioural changes in order to lead healthier lives. Structured as one-on-one sessions, the coach works in tandem with the client to develop personalized, real solutions to meet their goals. The collaborative approach taken with each individual is proven to be more successful than a straight-up prescriptive – telling people what to do – solution.
