About Me
Melissa Lunn,

Get to know me as...
a health care professional
Years ago, I graduated from college with a Pharmacy Technician diploma which helped teach me about medicine and health care in general. However, I quickly learned that my interests were more aligned with wellness care than with the sickness model of health care.
I went on to graduate from Centennial College in 2002 with my Massage Therapy certification and soon went to work treating a wide range of clients in different settings in Toronto, Ontario.
After some time, I took a break to continue my education at university in the field of Psychology and begin raising my family. With the birth of my children, my passion for a natural lifestyle flourished. It was at that time too, that I began to seek out knowledge about the power of the mind-body connection and its effects on stress and anxiety. Among other things, this search led me to discover Fascial Stretch Therapy and its calming effects on the nervous system.
As my business name implies, I am a true homebody. I love the simple pleasures of being at home and sharing cozy moments with my family. That being said, it has taken me a long time to be comfortable with the idea of “being still” and enjoying this moment. As a perfectionist and a control freak, I struggled to find the ideal conditions for self-care. I often felt large pangs of guilt whenever I would think of putting myself first.
Eventually, as life has a way of doing, I was gently put into a position where I was faced with the decision to embrace the importance of my own wellness. I began learning about self-care techniques for both adults and children and set-about teaching my children the importance of health, balance and loving their bodies and minds. And, through witnessing and experiencing the effects of anxiety and stress, I became passionate about understanding how my bodywork skills can play a role in managing these symptoms.
Aside from this all of this, I am a naturally-minded woman who tries my best to find healthy, safe, quality alternatives for my family. My wish is to provide you with what I hope to be an easy, convenient solution with which to provide you with a little balance and peace in your life.
