Registered Massage Therapy
Revitalize Your Body and Mind
Welcome to Body Mechanics!
Our clinic is a relaxing space, dedicated to providing long-lasting therapeutic treatments.
RMTs in Ontario are held to a very high standard by our regulating college (CMTO). This ensures that if you are receiving treatment by a RMT they are trained in many different modalities to provide the most effective and safe treatment to each client depending on their needs. Helping our clients relax through massage is a huge bonus but there are so many more benefits and uses than people realize. Here are just a few common focuses our therapists have dealt with at our clinic.

Noah Parkin
After working as a paramedic for 15 years, Noah made the decision to leave the profession and heal from trauma he witnessed and endured as a first responder. Reiki was an adjunct that helped him to overcome residual trauma that other therapies were unable to resolve. After experiencing profound healing energies, he decided that this gift was something he wanted to share with the world. He earned his Level I and II training in January 2023, and then his Holy Fire II Reiki Master training in November 2023. Noah has the natural ability to connect deeply with the reiki energy to help clients resolve physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual challenges that are resistant to other therapies. As an intuitive healer, he brings a calm, warm, and compassionate demeanor to each session and works with clients to discover their path to healing. Insurance Coverage
