ABOUT ME I’m Briea Crombie (Shields), a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) and proud member of the team at Kawartha Holistic. I’ve been practicing massage therapy since 2016 and have always been passionate about helping people move better, recover from injury, and live with less pain. I believe in providing individualized care that supports each client’s goals, whether they’re recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or simply taking time for self-care.

SPECIAL INTERESTS I have a special interest in treating chronic pain, sports injuries, scar tissue, and restricted movement. To further support my clients, I’ve completed additional training in Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST), scar tissue release, and functional movement. My treatments include deep tissue massage, sports massage, relaxation massage, scar tissue therapy, and Fascial Stretch Therapy, allowing me to tailor each session to your individual needs.

WHO I WORK WITH I enjoy working with clients of all ages, from children to older adults and everyone in between. Whether you’re recovering from an acute injury, managing chronic pain, training for a sport, or simply looking to maintain your health and well-being, I’m here to support you.

I have experience working with many conditions and aim to improve mobility, relieve muscle tension, support recovery from surgery or injury, manage scar tissue, reduce stress, and prevent future injuries. Whatever your goals may be, my focus is on helping you move better, feel better, and get back to doing the activities you enjoy.

MY APPROACH Every treatment begins with a thorough assessment to better understand your concerns, movement patterns, and overall goals. I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach to massage therapy, so each treatment plan is designed specifically for you.

I combine hands-on treatment with education and practical home care recommendations to help you maintain your progress between appointments. My goal is to not only help you feel better during your visit but also support your long-term health and movement.

A PERSONAL NOTE When I’m not in the clinic, you’ll usually find me spending time with my family, staying active, or training horses. I’m also passionate about continuing education and believe there’s always something new to learn, and I stay committed to growing both personally and professionally.
