Don Himmelman

Don supports healing through a trauma informed lens, gently inviting the body to release what it no longer needs to hold on to. Don understands and intuitively locates where tension and somatic injuries, physical, emotional and otherwise, are held in the body. He trusts the body as a wise vessel which, with encouragement, is capable of balancing body, mind and spirit, restoring wellness.

In addition to being a Registered Massage Therapist, Don's ongoing studies, spanning more than 25 years, include other modalities: Shiatsu, Thai Yoga Massage and Auricular Acupuncture. As a student and teacher of Yoga, Tai Chi, Chi Gong, and Mindfulness Based Relapse Prevention, Don has assisted many on their path of self-healing.

Over the years, Don has served on three Boards of Directors: the Massage Therapists’ and Wholistic Practitioners’ of the Maritimes (MTWPAM), the Natural Health Practitioners of Canada, NHPC, (the largest volunteer member organization in Canada) and the National Acupuncture Detoxification Association, NADA. For the first two organizations, he had the privilege of serving as President.
