Rita Khal
Student RMT
I have long been interested in health and wellness and after spending more than a decade working in health care, I’ve decided to shift my focus. I’m currently completing my massage therapy diploma and am excited to graduate and continue working in the Yukon. My style can be described as intuitive, and I listen and treat each client as an individual. I believe in the benefits of relaxing the body and mind, and with all the stress in the world today, there’s no better place to do that than on a massage table.
Amanda Dehling
Bodyworker
My name is Amanda, I have always held a respect and passion for the holistic healing of the body through massage. I am a strong believer in the “vis medicatrix naturae”, the body’s natural ability to heal itself.
Through massage and bodywork I will help to support you as you connect with your body’s needs, allowing you the space to rest and repair. It is an honour for me to be an intuitive and responsible bodyworker who engages and collaborates with clients to meet their specific needs. I have great respect for all people and walks of life and strive to practice in a way that fosters that environment. I use a combination of swedish, cranial sacral therapy, deep tissue, neuromuscular, myofascial and Reiki, to facilitate your ability to heal yourself.

Bodyworker Meighan will be back in December!
Connection is at the heart of Bodywork and Massage. “What does it feel like?” This is a sentence that drives almost every decision I make - personally and professionally. A profound understanding that our thoughts, emotions, and experiences can store themselves within the physical body is a beautiful reminder that everything is connected. This understanding has given me the capacity to hold space for every person and their own set of needs. I use a combination of Swedish, deep tissue, joint release, myofascial release, and breathwork to help guide you towards healing yourself. Our body, mind, and soul speak to us in so many ways - we just have to listen.

All appointments are booked by length of treatment. You do not need to know what kind of massage you want (exceptions are shiatsu, hot stone, and indian head massage) as treatments are customized to your needs. If you are interested in a certain technique, ensure your practitioner provides the desired technique and make the request in the "comments" section when booking.

Offered by all RMTs and Bodyworkers Muscles and fascia are deeply kneaded to improve posture and provide focused, lasting work clients can feel afterwards. This firm, intense massage will leave you satisfied and invigorated.

Offered by all RMT's, and Amanda Just select the length of massage therapy treatment you would like, and let us know in the notes that you're expecting!

offered by Sheila and Meighan Smooth stones are heated and lubricated with oil or essential oils. The therapeutic effects of heat are used to relax muscles more deeply. Used as an extension of the therapist's hands, the stones induce deep relaxation and provide a unique experience many find to be tremendously calming and centering.

with Sheila Ever just wish someone would step on your back? Shiatsu uses natural body weight to reach deeply into knots and tight muscles to create long- lasting relief. Its un-invasive, clothes-on techniques makes this a great choice for your first massage, and it’s an all-time favourite for seasoned spa-goers.

with Sheila An Ayurvedic massage that focuses on everything from the upper back, to the face and scalp. It has an incredible list of benefits, including relieving headaches, releasing upper body tension, easing anxiety and reducing insomnia.

with Sheila, Amanda, Corinne, Bailey (ask for this in your notes when booking your massage!)

with Bailey and Amanda A lovely hybrid of massage and energy healing. My intention is to offer a safe space to clear, ground, and balance the body, mind and spirit.

A Heartfelt Goodbye to Laura Bailey
June 9, 1997 – October 11, 2023
It is with heavy hearts that we remember Laura Bailey, who had joined us so recently.
Laura had an extraordinary gift to welcome ease with her very presence. She created space that gave those around her permission to relax and become their favourite selves. Her warmth and calm was magnetic, and we will miss her deeply.
We at Rooted Tree wish to extend our deepest condolences to Laura's family and friends during this time of profound sadness.
Though her time with us was brief, Laura has left an indelible mark on our hearts. Her impact will be cherished forever.
May she rest in peace.
