About Naiomi

​

Hi, I'm Naiomi MacLean, a Registered Massage Therapist based in Hubbards, Nova Scotia.

​

After graduating from the 3,000-hour Massage Therapy program at Kootenay Columbia College of Integrative Health Sciences in Nelson, BC, I spent several years practicing in British Columbia before returning home to Nova Scotia. Coming back to the South Shore to raise my family and care for the community that shaped me has been incredibly meaningful.

​

I believe massage therapy is most effective when it's centred around the individual. Every treatment begins with listening—understanding what brought you in, how your body is responding, and what you're hoping to achieve. From there, I create a treatment plan that fits your goals, comfort level, and lifestyle. Whether you're looking for focused therapeutic work, relief from persistent pain, support through pregnancy and postpartum, or simply an opportunity to slow down and recharge, treatments are always tailored to you.

​

My approach is evidence-informed, trauma-informed, and grounded in the belief that effective care doesn't need to feel intimidating. I draw from a variety of manual therapy techniques, including myofascial release, muscle energy techniques, trigger point therapy, craniosacral therapy, visceral techniques, and Swedish massage, selecting the approaches that best suit your needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all treatment.

​

Over the years I've worked with clients experiencing chronic pain, headaches, fibromyalgia, shoulder and neck injuries, stress-related tension, insomnia, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and a wide range of everyday aches and pains. I also have a special interest in prenatal and postpartum care, helping people feel supported through the physical changes of pregnancy and early parenthood. I enjoy working with children and teenagers as well, creating a calm, welcoming environment where they can feel comfortable and safe.

​

Movement has always been an important part of my life. I've practiced yoga for over twenty years and completed more than 600 hours of yoga teacher training. That background continues to shape the way I approach massage therapy. I'm fascinated by how movement, breathing, and the nervous system work together, and I often incorporate breath awareness into treatments to help reduce tension and encourage lasting relaxation.

​

My goal is simple: to help you feel more comfortable in your body, move with greater ease, and leave each treatment feeling supported, cared for, and better equipped for whatever life asks of you.
