Our Registered Counsellors have seen people at their most vulnerable times and their goal has been to act as a support. They fully believe in creating a safe and confidential space for their clients; respecting their vulnerability. ​They will help you sort through the many aspects of your day and life that compile and create our personal hurdles; un-muddling what's really holding us back from being our best self. They use a variety of techniques including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Positive Psychology in their sessions and are aware that mental health does not need to include labels.
Their motivation is to see a healthier community in all aspects; breaking down the stigma that surrounds counselling and prevents people from feeling free to work through their challenges with the help of a professional.

Hi, my name is Lucy. I am a graduate from the registered massage therapy program at Georgian College and I am excited to be starting my massage therapy journey working at Thrive Health and Athletics. During my time as a student therapist I’ve had experience performing general therapeutic massage, as well as treating those looking for more specific treatment including sports injury, pregnancy massage, lymph drainage and fibromyalgia. I love helping people to feel their best and I am always overjoyed at the excitement I see in people when they start see the results of their efforts. Because I believe massage therapy helps to treat the body as well as the mind- it is always important to me to create a positive and supportive environment in which every one of my clients can feel comfortable and supported.

I graduated Sheridan College in 2021 with an Honours Bachelor of Applied Health Sciences degree in Athletic Therapy and shortly after, passed my national certification exam to become a Certified Athletic Therapist. Through continuing education courses I have been able to expand my practice by utilizing my knowledge of cupping and IASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization) techniques for rehabilitation. I have worked with many patients from the general population in a clinical setting as well as Varsity athletes in University clinics. I am passionate about working with athletes and being on the sideline with teams at various sporting events. I have had the chance to work on the field with sports teams including Men’s University soccer, midget AA girl’s hockey, and field hockey. I grew up in Parry Sound and in my time off I enjoy hiking, camping, swimming, and playing soccer.
