You Can Trust Your Massage Therapist Again
Massage Therapy is much much more than just a body rub. However, touch alone has been studied and proven to be highly therapeutic and helpful in reducing pain and stress. We value that "touch" in our profession, and would never under-value or underestimate it's wonderful impact on healing.
That said, Massage Therapy is much much more.
It is Assessing joints, tissues, pathology - it is digging deeper and locating the source of your pain and discomfort, and taking the necessary steps to guiding you back to health and well-being. We do not have a magic pill that will make you better in one shot. We do not use expensive tools and toys and machines made to intimidate and make you believe you will magically get better after a few treatments from it.
And temporary relief - well, you can get temporary relief just about anywhere. You can probably get it cheaper and faster than here. But we are not about temporary relief. We strive for long-term health, and for you to have a long healthy life. If you are interested in long-term results, and are ready to take the necessary steps to attain those results, including hard-work with self-care (homework), you are in the right place.
Isn't it time to stop wasting time, energy, and money on temporary relief?

Shyla Berger
Fitness Instructor/Personal Trainer
PerFIT Strength Training
Shyla’s love for fitness wasn’t always so prevalent in her life. She struggled to maintain a healthy weight throughout her childhood and teenage years with poor eating habits and an inactive lifestyle, but then discovered kickboxing and became addicted to the sport. After losing almost 70 pounds in a year and a half, the need to help others achieve their fitness goals was realized. Shyla was certified through the Canadian Fitness Professionals and became a Fitness Instructor Specialist and Personal Trainer. She is also certified as a Spin and Kickboxing Instructor. Her approach to fitness is tough but compassionate, always giving her clients an extra push when needed, and ready with encouragement and enthusiasm. Shyla has worked with a wide range of clients from preteens to older adults, from complete beginners to fitness fanatics looking to be taken to that next level. She found a passion for getting people excited about fitness, and loves being their introduction to the world of healthy and active living. In both her group classes and one-on-one sessions, her fun and energetic approach to exercise is contagious.
“I always feel happy and healthy after a workout with Shyla! She provides a challenging workout and lots of much appreciated concern for my well being. Having a session with Shyla is always the highlight of my day!” - Lynn
