Jill has been a Registered Massage Therapist since May 2006, and a
Certified Personal Trainer since June 2007. She has made it her passion to not only help people feel better, but to show people how to live better. She has extensive experience in deep tissue massage, remedial exercise, strengthening & toning, and cardiovascular endurance. This has given her great opportunity to assist people in finding balance in a wide spectrum of their personal health. Her knowledge of regular stretching and flexibility, wholesome nutrition and healthy hydration has given her the ability to show others the health benefits of these habits in equilibrium. She strives for an educated client, who walks away with the knowledge of how to improve their body's health & wellness during their time between sessions. Her focus in treatments is Deep Tissue Massage, Injury Rehabilitation, Trigger Point Therapy, Passive Stretch Therapy, and Full Body Relaxation. She is also experienced in Hot Stones, is certified in John F. Barnes MyoFascial Release Therapy, is a certified RAPID Specialist after completing the three courses in Neurofascial Reset, and has recently added a certification in Myofascial Cupping.

Cristelle is pleased to join Thrive Muscle Health & Wellness as a Registered Massage Therapist after being dedicated to her studies since 2015. Her interest in natural health care originated with a Shiatsu apprenticeship, she then ventured into therapeutic massage, graduating from the Alberta College of Massage Therapy in 2017.
Cristelle’s passion and education in both Eastern and Western modalities are woven into her practice, working with conditions from head to toe, and of course alleviating every-day tension in the back and neck. Amazing results are achieved with her clients through her range of skills in Swedish Massage, Deep Tissue Treatment, Trigger Point Therapy, Myofascial Release, Active-Release Techniques, and Shiatsu. As a therapist, Cristelle uses both her knowledge and intuitive nature to customize unique treatment plans appropriate to her client’s individual needs. She intends to work with the root cause of concern, so the focus of future treatments may evolve into maintenance and overall well-being.

Thrive is excited to have Eric join the team's already stacked list of modalities. He is currently in school for his Registered Massage Therapy, but confidently certified in Fascial Stretch Therapy. This 'pain-free, gain guarantee' treatment is something Eric has had a ton of experience in! This includes receiving very successful treatment himself, being mentored by one of Saskatoon's best FST providers, and then getting certified himself. With Eric's treatments clients leave feeling immediate improved range of motion, increased strength and performance, and release of tension and pain. If you haven't tried Fascial Stretch Therapy yet, we highly recommend adding it into your regular healthcare regimen.

Devin is a Registered Massage Therapist with the Massage Therapist Association of Saskatchewan (MTAS), graduating from McKay Career College in 2018.

Devin is a talented RMT, but he continues to sharpen his skills as a second-year student of the Canadian School of Osteopathy. The Saskatchewan Association of Osteopaths describes manual Osteopathy as 'the treatment, prevention, and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal disorders and the effects of these conditions on patients' general health'. This training and continual learning over the five-year program will be a great asset at Thrive. Devin has a warm confidence, and a great intuition as a therapist. He is a welcome addition to our team. He is available for booking Monday to Saturday.
