Cody Cummings
D.O.M.P.
Cody’s main goal as a therapist is to use movement as a tool to help people become more aligned with their ‘self’. “My study in movement began as a passion for snowboarding, then teaching snowboarding. Learning about how to move the body to be a more efficient snowboarder along with stretching to prevent injury lead me to a massage therapy program. That intensive RMT program brought me to the yoga mat as a form of self-care, and eventual yoga-teacher certification. Following a car accident, I found myself in the hands of an osteopath from Ireland, I knew right away that osteopathy was how I wanted to work with people and this is what I am meant to be doing. Est voila” -Cody

Valentina Ignatenko
RMT
I have been in practice as a Registered Massage Therapist since graduating from the Wellspring College of Massage Therapy (Toronto) in 2011.
My nurturing personality is what attracted me to this profession. I am genuinely grateful to be doing something that makes me feel so fulfilled and allows me to have a positive impact on my clients. I am passionate about my own health and wellness journey and believe my greatest teachers are the people that come into my treatment room daily. Whether you enjoy a massage for its therapeutic benefits (targeting chronic areas of discomfort, injury, or rehabilitation) or simply enjoy the time for relaxation and stress relief, I look forward to helping you meet those goals.
Some of the elements I enjoy in treatments are: deep tissue work, relaxation, stretching techniques, and trigger point therapy. I have years of experience treating clients post-surgery, injury, or accident. As well as, prenatal and postpartum therapy, throughout cancer treatments, and general wear and tear of the body.
Massage is the most natural form of therapy. It creates an awareness of the care and attention your body needs and deserves, which is what I strive to share through my personal touch. I feel comforted knowing that I am able to create an environment that facilitates this for my clients and allows them to prioritize their health and well-being throughout all of life's ups and downs. I look forward to seeing each of you soon.

Hannah-Lynn Bull
RMT
Hannah has always been fascinated by the movement and resilience of the human body. For years, Hannah knew she wanted a career where she could genuinely help others, but it wasn’t until she discovered massage therapy—first as a client, then as a student—that everything finally clicked. Through her own journey with chronic headaches and injuries sustained from sports and weightlifting, she gained a deep appreciation for how physical limitations can affect daily life and personal goals. These experiences have shaped not only her perspective but also her passion for supporting others on their path to recovery and wellness.
Hannah is proud to be a 2025 graduate with honours from Willis College’s Accelerated Massage Therapy Program and is incredibly excited to begin her career as an RMT. Hannah committed to lifelong learning and plans to pursue ongoing education in the areas she is most passionate about, including TMJ dysfunction, jaw tension, and headache-related conditions. This dedication allows her to continue offering effective, evidence-informed care tailored to each individual.
Hannah’s goal as a therapist is to create a focused and supportive environment where clients feel heard and empowered. Whether you’re managing stress, recovering from an injury, or working through chronic tension, she is here to help you achieve your short- and long-term wellness goals. Hannah feels grateful to be entering a profession that not only aligns with her own healing journey but also allows her to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others
