My name is Alida Baron and I am a Registered Massage Therapist/RMT in the beautiful City of Nelson, BC. I am grateful for this land and acknowledge that I live and work on the unceded traditional territories of the Sinixt, the Syilx and the Ktunaxa peoples, and is home to the Metis and many diverse Indigenous persons.
The effects and benefits of massage therapy are well researched and they are physiological and psychological in nature. Physiologically, massage can affect circulation, musculoskeletal function, the lymphatic system, respiratory function, and improve immune function. Psychologically, massage lowers stress, anxiety and depression and increases feelings of well being.
NO CURE THAT FAILS TO ENGAGE OUR SPIRIT CAN MAKE US WELL.

I am proud to have developed my skills at Okanagan Valley College of Massage Therapy and I am a registrant with the CMTBC. I am skilled in deep tissue massage, injury rehabilitation, nervous system relaxation, neuromuscular techniques and myofascial release. I have a 200 hour yoga teacher certification, which I draw on for stretches, breath work, and mind-body techniques.
In the last year, I have been investing in further educational courses to be more effective with my assessments and learning some osteopathic techniques.
To provide the highest quality assessment, therapeutic massage, and musculoskeletal expertise for patients. To empower patients to take charge of their own healing through education, referrals, and uniquely tailored stretches, exercises, hydrotherapy, and other ideas to get you back singing your song.
I am committed to providing a safe physical and emotional space for patients and a place to let go of stress, whether it is being held in the body or in the mind.
Thank you for visiting! ~ Songbird Massage Therapy
