About Lee-Ann Solomon
 Hello!
I'm originally from the Queen Charlotte Islands, B.C.,
but I've called Ottawa my home since 1984. I'm an honors
graduate of the Algonquin College Massage Therapy program,
as well as an enthusiastic member of the College of Massage
Therapists of Ontario and the Ontario Massage Therapy Association.
Formerly an avid long distance runner, I
now focus primarily on core strengthening at the gym. Over the
years I had been through enough of my own injuries and a foot
surgery to understand what it's like to live with chronic pain,
compensatory issues, and restricted activities. From time to time,
I strain or do something to myself that requires some investigatory
massage work and I usually learn something from it (which can then
be applied to my clients). My other interests include landscaping
for our condominium and motorcycling.
My
studio is located in downtown Ottawa in the Byward Market in my
home, and is effectively separated from my home space so as to
maintain professionalism and privacy. My treatment room faces
the sunny south and conveys light, calm, and positivity. I invite
you to call or email me for an appointment time or to visit the
studio.

Philosophy of Care
As your best choice for massage therapy in downtown
Ottawa, my mission is to provide excellent massage therapy
services with compassion, collaboration, and commitment in
an accepting and positive environment without prejudice.
With the use of confident hands, and integrated manual
techniques, I derive great satisfaction in giving
therapeutic massage, helping free people from pain, and in
providing answers to your questions. I also offer strategies
for self care as well as referrals to other health care
professionals when appropriate.
I will note and respect your desire for silence
during your massage.
