Lifelong Grimsby resident Joanne Nasby, has been practising as a Registered Massage Therapist since 1999. Upon graduation from Sir Sandford Fleming College, she began studying Craniosacral Therapy with her mentor Ravi-Inder Soligo.Craniosacral therapy is a very gentle non-invasive healing system. It is based on osteopath William G. Sutherland’s discovery that the body has a subtle wave-like fluctuation of fluid that flows through the brain and spinal cord, which is intimately related to the functioning of the central nervous system. The craniosacral system therefore affects all parts of the body and reflects the health and vitality of a person. Through respectful listening and by using light, non-controlling touch the therapist “tunes in” to the craniosacral rhythm to both assess and treat the imbalances in tissue tone and position that lead to dysfunction. It is important to note that craniosacral therapy is based on the principle that healing comes from within and the body knows how to heal itself. It is the role of the therapist to manually assist this process by making the client more aware of their tension and pain and helping them in its release. The therapist’s hands tell them that a therapeutic release has occurred because the tissues soften and become more elastic, fluid circulation improves and the craniosacral rhythm becomes noticeably stronger and more potent. The client will often experience symptomatic relief, greater mental clarity and a deep spiritual calm.
Joanne incorporates craniosacral techniques into her massage therapy treatments as a method of assessing and addressing the root cause of a symptom. She applies advanced craniosacral techniques to treat the internal organs in a non-invasive manner. Trauma of any type including habitual postural strain, systemic imbalance, disease, injuries (falls, whiplash, etc.), psychological/emotional stress, or difficult birth process can have a long-term impact. Trauma can manifest as impaired joint, bone movement, muscular or connective tissue restriction, reduced flow of brain and spinal fluid and a weakened, unbalanced craniosacral rhythm. Eventually this leads to chronic pain and dysfunction.
Joanne finds it an honour to nurture and empower her clients to make positive changes along their healing path. She is extremely grateful that her own path has led her to Gardiner Family Chiropractic. Joanne is also a Certified Yoga Teacher through the Yoga Centre of Burlington and a Certified Health and Wellness Consultant through Centennial College. When not working, this earth girl is basking in the beauty of nature and studying Holistic Nutrition.

Tuch is a graduate of Sir Sandford Fleming College in Peterborough and has been registered with the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario since 2002. She joined Gardiner Family Chiropractic Centre team in 2009 and has an intrinsic interest in sport related injuries. She has considerable experience working with several community sports teams and their young amateur athletes, offering professional advice on related health topics such as, stretching and the importance of self care to maintain longevity in sport. As an adjunct to sports therapy, Tuch provides therapeutic treatments for the general population with a focus on rehabilitation, while promoting overall health and well-being. Tuch’s post graduate education includes training in Myofascial Release and other techniques to treat injury associated with the upper body region. Through her experiences, Tuch fundamentally believes in continuing education and strives to deepen her knowledge and understanding of complimentary treatment approaches to better serve her clientele.
Tuch briefly left her cozy little town of Grimsby to work in the GTA and she is very excited to have the opportunity to return to the area with her husband and daughter. On her time off, Tuch loves spending time with her family and friends, enjoys a good game of soccer, a challenging canoe trip and embraces the true peacefulness that comes with spending the time out in the wilderness.
