It Takes a Village to Heal – Here’s My Part

Hi, I’m Paula — a certified massage therapist and thérapeute en relation d’aide based in Montreal.

I offer holistic support for people navigating stress, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions. My sessions gently combine therapeutic touch (massage, shiatsu, and acupressure) with emotional support grounded in active listening and compassion.

Whether you’re a mother, caregiver, or someone feeling the weight of daily life, I create a space where your body and emotions are both heard and supported. Many of us carry our emotional pain in the body. My work invites you to reconnect, soften, and heal—physically and emotionally.

I believe that healing is not a solo journey. It takes a village—not only to raise children, but also to rebuild ourselves when we’ve been through hard times. My approach is warm, non-judgmental, and trauma-informed, rooted in the idea that you don’t need to carry everything alone.

My services are available in English, French, and Spanish. I also offer IVAC-recognized care for survivors of violence or trauma.

Let’s work together—body, mind, and heart.

Book a session or reach out with any questions.
I’d love to meet you.

Customer feedback

  • "Thank you Paula for the amazingly good acupressure massage! I felt completely relaxed afterwards and the muscles in my sore shoulder were a lot calmer. I really appreciated that you took the time before starting to go over the history of my muscle tension and nutrition. I’ll be back ☺️"

  • "I had my first acupressure session with Paula on Friday October 3rd. I had been sick for a awhile with a cold and the flu. Paula took a thorough look at my life style and what my concerns were, including dealing with emotions of anger. I felt comfortable with Paula right away, she made some suggestions of changes I could make in the diet that could help, but it was a very gentle approach. The session itself was relaxing and I felt a lightness after the session and was able to work through the reasons behind the anger and was able to process it. I would highly recommend seeing Paula for acupressure, her follow up and care was top notch." A. P.

  • "La séance de massages de Paula m'a fait beaucoup du bien. Je fais régulièrement de l'exercice, et elle m'aide à soulager les douleurs. Recommandé pour les amateurs de la musculation." L. T.

  • "I went to see Paula on a rainy morning. Her office is warm and cozy and the treatment she gave me was deeply soothing and relaxing. At the same time, she is energetic and very real and we laughed a lot. Going to see her felt like I was taking care of myself on multiple levels that brought me both physical relief and joy."
