Joanne Kennedy-Dew BA, RMT

Joanne is a Registered Massage Therapist with over 17 years experience working in Mississauga, ON. Originally from St. John’s, NL, Joanne has recently moved to Barrie, ON, and is very excited to continue her journey of promoting health & wellness in her new community.

As a graduate of Sutherland-Chan in Toronto, ON in 2006, Joanne has continued to work in a variety of settings including multi-disciplinary clinics, treating primarily chronic pain issues and working with colleagues to offer the best outcomes for all, inclusively. She has also treated in off-site workplace environments for years in the west gta, and appreciates the major benefit she was able to provide to her clients that are suffering with Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI).

Along with the focused general Swedish Massage technique base of her education, she uses active release techniques appropriate for athletes, pressure point techniques and/or relaxing energy transferring techniques appropriate for specific neuropathic conditions. Joanne also offers other modalities including Foot Reflexology, Hot Stone massage, as well as Dry Cupping and Infrared therapies as add-ons.

Joanne is passionate about her work and quite humbled to be able to assist her clients to wellness through massage therapy. As part of her weekly regime to maintain a healthy balance, Joanne enjoys being outdoors, maintaining her property, as well as cross-training and most sports. She appreciates all art forms and has dabbled in musical theatre, the fine arts of sketching portraits, and recently, painting. A couple of Joanne’s fondest memories are being on safari in South Africa (1990) and trekking through the rainforests of Costa Rica (2009), swimming with the seals in New Zealand (2019)... and since 2017, is very fortunate to have set out on several expeditions as an RMT with Adventure Canada into the Arctic and North Atlantic. If she has a motto, it is to ‘Keep Moving’!!
