Our Practitioners

At LifeThyme Wellness, our practitioners work with individuals to lead them on a path to greater health and wellness. Our practitioners use a combination massage therapy, acupuncture and functional nutrition to support our patients. We share a vision to educate, inspire and support the community in optimal health and well-being. We offer education along with treatments to empower our clients to grow personally and take a more active role in their healthcare.  Our primary goal, as practitioners is to create a unique wellness experience that will leave you our patients feeling healthy and renewed.

We are all graduates of American accredited massage therapy schools. Therefore, this means the schools provided a program that met the adequate levels of quality education. We have all been trained in Swedish Massage, Reflexology, Deep Tissue, Neuromuscular (Trigger Point Therapy), and Sports Massage. In addition, each practitioner holds their own specialties in modalities such as Advanced Sports Massage, Craniosacral Therapy, Pregnancy Massage, and Cupping. Some of our practitioners also have additional trainings, certifications and diplomas. We also have a Nutritionist and an Acupuncturist on staff. Because of our diverse qualifications, our practitioners are able to offer Therapeutic Massage, Acupuncture, Nutrition consults, and health testing within the scope of caring and compassionate touch and contact.

All of our therapists are members of their respective professional associations in Bermuda.
