Registered Massage Therapist
West End (235 Wallace Avenue)
Jennifer Costa
Practice style (Philosophy)
Jennifer believes that keeping our physical bodies healthy and strong is a key piece of maintaining our overall wellness. She brings 15 years experience and works closely with her clients to not only treat current injuries, but also to create
prevention plans to protect against additional and/or recurring injuries that may become problematic in the future. Zooming out from a singular pain point, she believes in treating the body as a whole by using a holistic approach to the body and applying myofascial release techniques. As Jennifer was the 5K coach at the Running Room in High Park, an athlete herself playing hockey and riding dirt bikes, ballet dancer for 10 years and studied the piano with the Royal Conservatory as well as Pilates and snowboarding enthusiast trained in Pilates in rehab treatment and as an instructor, she has a keen understanding of the unique needs of athletes.
Unique Facts
When Jennifer is not at the clinic, you can find her training, cuddling her Border Collie puppy, Bella and spending quality time with her nearest and dearest, whether it’s having a cozy night in to watch a movie or hitting the town for cocktails and dancing. She loves to enjoy all our bustling city has to offer from exploring the latest exhibits at the AGO to getting outside at High Park and the Humber, taking in the latest festival and visiting her local Farmer’s Market.
