ABOUT VERONICA

My name is Veronica Paras, I'm a Certified Lymphedema therapist, Shiatsu Therapist and Registered Massage Therapist, NISA practitioner.

I've been working in the healthcare industry for 30+ years. I graduated from the 2200 hour Shiatsu program offered at the Shiatsu school of Canada, it was then that I discovered my passion for the healing arts. I decided to delve deeper into the studies of Traditional Chinese medicine and enrolled in a concurrent program at the Toronto School of Traditional Chinese Medicine. In 2005 I received my designation as a Registered Massage Therapist via the CMTO.

All the aforementioned training has been instrumental in how I view the body, from a holistic perspective, treating each person based on their individual needs.

I've continued to pursue numerous designations/certifications throughout the years to add to my skill set /repertoire, in order to serve the public with the utmost care. I come with a wealth of knowledge due to my diverse background and clinical experience.

After carefully discussing your health history and taking all aspects into consideration, with your approval, I design a treatment protocol that is in line with your unique health presentation/needs. I hold a specialty in treating oncology patients as I've worked in the field, treating breast cancer survivors and other oncological patients for many years. My clinical experience includes adhesion/scar tissue treatments/prevention, alongside manual lymph drainage when indicated and postural re-education to name a few of my skills.

Treating oncology patients, and breast cancer survivors is something I hold near to my heart. My mother was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma 8 years ago. It was then that I began to research the various treatments available to breast cancer patients, from a rehabilitation standpoint. I enrolled and learned about NISA and the Vodder technique as a result. I was able to treat and assist her through the various stages of her treatment. It has become a passion of mine to help those during their healing journey. I’m grateful and honoured to do this work. It is truly rewarding to see the positive benefits I can provide while utilizing a holistic non-invasive approach to healing and wellness.
