Janelle Holkema

Janelle is a recent graduate of Trillium College with a diploma in Massage Therapy, and she brings a warm, patient-first approach to every session. Rooted in a background in fitness, she understands how strength, mobility, and recovery work together, and she uses that lens to design treatments that help people move with confidence again. Whether you’re managing persistent neck and shoulder tension from desk work, rehabbing a sports strain, or simply looking to reset after a busy week, Janelle tailors her techniques to your goals and comfort level.

Her practice blends a range of therapeutic modalities, including Swedish and deep-tissue massage, myofascial release, joint mobilizations, and targeted trigger point work. She pays close attention to posture, breathing, and daily movement habits, often sharing simple home care tips to extend the benefits of your treatment. Patients appreciate her steady pressure, thoughtful pacing, and clear check-ins, hallmarks of a therapist who values both results and relaxation. You’ll leave feeling heard, cared for, and equipped with practical next steps.

Collaboration is central to how Janelle works. With her fitness foundation, she communicates seamlessly with chiropractors, physiotherapists, and the rest of the clinical team to ensure your care plan is cohesive. If your goals include returning to running, lifting without pain, or reducing stress so you sleep better, she’ll align your massage therapy with the broader recommendations of your providers. That integrated mindset helps translate improvements on the table into lasting change in everyday life. Outside of work, Janelle cherishes time with her family and has a genuine passion for culinary experiences. If you have a great local food recommendation, she’s always eager to hear it, just don’t be surprised if she swaps a new stretch or mobility drill in return. That curiosity and enthusiasm show up in her treatments, too: she’s constantly refining her skills to serve patients of all ages and activity levels.

Janelle treats patients on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, with occasional weekend availability. If you’re ready to reduce pain, restore mobility, and feel more like yourself, book a session with Janelle and experience the difference a thoughtful, evidence-informed massage can make. From your first visit, you’ll notice her calm presence, strong clinical reasoning, and genuine commitment to helping you live a pain-free, active life.
