Owner: Airdrie Performance Massage
Certified Rapid NeuroFascial Reset Specialist Practitioner
Registered Massage Therapist
​
"Strive for perfection and you will achieve excellence." This is something I have always tried to live by from a young age. Much of my younger years were spend involved in high level sport competition and through these sports and the many injuries that arose from them I was introduced to the profound effect massage and manual therapy can have on both recovery and preventative aspects of injury.
​
Since graduating with honors from the CDI 2450 hour Advanced Massage Therapy program I have tried to focus on what gave me my interest in massage in the first place; therapeutic and sports massage. This directed focus led to find what has been an absolute game changer for myself and my clients; RAPID NeuroFascial Reset. Using this technique combined with proper assessment techniques has given my clients lasting results that they thought may never be possible.

Madeline firmly believes that massage can positively impact all clients by relieving pain, decreasing stress, and promoting relaxation, while helping clients be more attuned with their body. She uses a hand-on approach to manipulating the entire body to affect the nervous and circulatory systems which can lead to significant changes and improvements to the muscles, joints, and soft tissue. She focuses on treating the complete individual versus a single condition and believes that healing from within is needed to properly maintain the body.
Madeline finds fulfillment in helping others feel better and she places the utmost importance in actively listening to her clients, purposely customizing each massage, and engaging clients in contributing to and understanding their own health. She welcomes clients of all ages and demographics.
