Carrie Creamer RMT - Orillia, ON
Carrie Creamer RMT specializes in massage therapy for prenatal, infant, and sports, work and motor vehicle accident related injuries.
Mission: to promote a peaceful, understanding world through the power of touch and education.
Vision: A world in which all walks and ages of life find balance in body, mind and spirit which will empower a harmonized world.
Touch is the first language we learn. It is the communication that connects us all, rich with emotional expression. We all know that a touch can make us feel soothed and comforted or hurt and sometimes uneasy. To be “touched” by something inspiring or to be “out of touch” with life are terms that show us how this form of communication comes to mean so much to us on a deeper level. In addition, research has shown that the need for touch is as valid as the need for food or water.
