Christine Tuff, Registered Massage Therapist   

My name is Christine Tuff and I have been a registered Massage Therapist and practicing full time since 2014, for over 7 years now. I have recently moved (Oct 2021) to New Brunswick from Ontario, Canada after falling in love with this beautiful province over the passed 10 years of visiting family who reside here. I am looking forward to this new chapter and meeting new clients to help and benefit through massage therapy here in Moncton, New Brunswick!

Ever since I was little, I enjoyed making everyone around me feel better about themselves. This translated into massaging my family members as a child, and helping out my friends in middle school with hand massages between classes. Over the years I have learned I also enjoyed helping people feel good not only physically but emotionally, and mentally as well. With my personal life experience and client experience over the years, I wish to help others holistically through Massage Therapy, exercise homecare, and any other potential advice clients may need. My goal to make clients feel welcome, at ease and in a safe place when they come for Massage Therapy treatments.

Benjamin Tennant, Registered Massage Therapist    

My name's Ben and I've just moved here from Ontario with my wife since we got married in August to be closer to her family.  I studied at the Canadian College of Massage and Hydrotherapy in Kitchener.  My approach to massage is about problem solving, so the first thing I always ask is 'What can I do to make your day better?'.  Do you have back or neck and shoulder pain, a headache, something more complicated or you're just feeling stressed and need to loosen up?  Then my job is to make that happen so you can feel better as efficiently as possible.

To that end I've studied a couple adjunct techniques alongside massage including Mulligan's system of joint mobilisations and the Functional Movement Systems' approach to screening, assessing and if necessary correcting your movement patterns for the purpose of improving your day to day function.

I'm happy to make my massages as relaxing or as deep as you'd like, and I've often been told that the experience you'll get is somewhere between the two.  

I look forward to seeing you in the clinic.
