About the Owner
Erin Elliott-Mehlenbacher
I knew at a young age that I wanted to be able to help people to help themselves become happy and healthy and I was most interested in the many ways that this could be achieved without the use of traditional medicine.
At the age of 17, I worked as a summer student at Stelco and with my very first paycheque in hand, I convinced a friend to drive me straight to the Massage College in Hamilton Ont. Without my parents knowledge, I wrote the school entry exam and paid a deposit for starting classes that September. I knew at the time that if I passed the exam and paid my own way, my parents would have no choice but to agree to me attending.
It was a 2 year program straight through with a government board examination to be registered. I started in September 1998 and graduated the program in 2000.
For many years I have been able to help so many people with various ailments and found my profession to be very rewarding and I thoroughly enjoy every day that I go to work.
For 10 years I had worked in a facility in the back half of a small medical clinic in my hometown of Cayuga Ont. During that time I had brought on a chiropractor as well as another RMT and a Naturopathic Doctor. By 2013 I realized that after 10 years I had outgrown our 500 sq ft facility and a bigger clinic was necessary. I had also come to the realization that much more than what I could currently offer, in the way of alternative healthcare, was needed in our small community with many baby boomers.
I began searching for a new facility in April of 2013 and after a gruelling 8 months of searching I was able (with lots of help from Peter Vandendool) to find a 2500 sq ft facility that could house all of the healthcare therapies I had hoped to have to benefit our community.
In December of 2013 I opened my dream facility! Thanks to John VanReenan, a local businessman, I was able to accomplish my goal. I am so blessed to have the occupation and the facility I have and look forward to being able to help my community with all of their healthcare needs.
