• Calms the nervous system and promotes a sense of relaxation & wellbeing
• Reduces tension & anxiety
• Improves blood circulation
• Stimulates the lymphatic system
• Helps premature babies gain weight

Tarynn Gray has been a practicing massage therapist for over five years. She had always been interested in alternative health therapies. In her senior year of high school she began looking into Physiotherapy and found a Massage Therapy Program offered in Saint John by ICT Schools.
After doing more research into massage therapy and its benefits, Tarynn decided to pursue this healing therapy as a career.
To become a Registered Massage Therapist in New Brunswick you have to have a minimum of 2200 hours (2 years) of training.
Tarynn explains that it was a very intense program, but she found it well worth all the hard work.
A massage therapist in NB must also be part of a professional association. Tarynn is registered with the Association of New Brunswick Massage Therapists.

Tarynn shared her love for her career with us. “ I know, she said, that there are a lot of people who can’t say this themselves, but I truly LOVE my job! I have to say that when someone comes into my office and tells me that they have been looking forward to this all day it is a huge compliment. It is a great feeling to be the highlight of someone’s day!”
In today’s world there seems to be so much stress in everyone’s life, and stress takes a major toll on people’s bodies.
Many people live with chronic pain conditions or are suffering from an injury. Massage therapy can help decrease that pain level to a more manageable level. It is very rewarding as a massage therapist to be a psrt of that.”
