How This Works
If it's your first time booking a session with me, we'll schedule an Introductory Session. This gives me a chance to go over your medical history with you and craft a specific treatment plan to meet your goals. This first session usually runs 1 hour and 15 minutes so that we can time to go over all your information and complete a treatment.
After your first session, we'll work out a plan for ongoing treatment if it's needed. You'll be able to book an Ongoing Massage Treatment session from that point onward.

Treatment Info
My focus is pain relief, and it looks different for every body and every health plan. What works for you? Below are the types of treatments I offer and integrate into your sessions at reGround Massage. Click 'Learn More' for details on each treatment.
Pectoralis Major & Breast Massage for Shoulder Relief
The treatment focuses on the shoulders and chest muscles, aiming to open up the shoulders and improve posture. Before treatment, we'll discuss draping and details, and written consent is required.
Hydrotherapy: Hot & Cold Stones, Heated Table, and Gel Packs
Hydrotherapy in massage helps calm the nervous system, offering relief through the soothing effects of heat and cold.
Integrating Cupping into Your Treatment
Cupping therapy uses suction cups on the skin to improve blood flow, relax muscles, release toxins, and reduce tension, pain, inflammation, and stress.
Myo Facial Release
Myo-fascial Release is a slow, lotion-free technique that helps relieve restrictions in the connective tissue just beneath the surface. Fascia connects your entire body, from head to toe.
Pregnancy Massage & Body Position
Pregnancy massage is tailored to the needs of expectant mothers, offering gentle techniques to ease discomfort, reduce stress, and promote relaxation during pregnancy.
Adjusting Massage Pressure for Pain Relief
Massage pressure matters, and jumping straight to deep tissue isn’t always helpful. Each depth of pressure offers different benefits, and I make sure to adjust to what your body needs.
New to massage therapy?
If you've never experienced a treatment from a registered massage therapist, you may have some questions or concerns. I've created a simple guide that will, hopefully, answer them.
Meet Willow Whittaker
Registered Massage Therapist
Owner of reGround Massage in Truro, Nova Scotia. My focus is pain relief; whether it’s light tissue work for chronic autoimmune relief or deeper tissue techniques for tension and injury recovery.
In my practice, massage is a slow, melting flow, starting at the fascia and working one layer at a time to warm up the muscle. I blend hands-on therapy with subtle energy work, using my natural intuition and knowledge of anatomy to encourage treatment at every layer.
Massage therapy is my second career path, built on a foundation of social work and over 18 years as a developmental services worker. This experience has shaped how I listen, to both the body and the person. Consent and communication are at the heart of my practice, built on mutual respect and trust.
reGround is a safe place for pain relief, where treatments aren’t about full-body relaxation; they’re focused on target areas; relieving pain and discomfort, helping your body find ease in a way that feels natural. I work with your breath and nervous system to release tension without force. I’m always learning, exploring the deep connection between anatomy, energy, and pain patterns.
Outside of work, I love spending time with my husband, son, and our 12-year-old pup. I’m into reading, art, and graphic design, and I’m always up for an adventure—especially exploring more of Nova Scotia.

Your comfort is our priority. To ensure the best results from your treatment, direct skin contact is most beneficial. Please undress to your level of comfort. You will be appropriately draped throughout the session to maintain your privacy and warmth.
The frequency of massage therapy sessions depends on your individual needs, health goals, and lifestyle. Some clients benefit from weekly sessions for chronic pain management or stress relief, while others may schedule appointments monthly or as needed for maintenance.
For chronic pain with a specific treatment goal of pain relief, I recommend every two weeks, but please feel free to adjust based on what works best for your schedule and financial means.
