Schön Faria
Registered Massage Therapist
Schön Faria, RMT is a Registered Massage Therapist originally from Toronto. She graduated from ICT Kikkawa College in 2009 and is a member of the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario.
In 2014 Schön and her husband Steve moved to Mabou Harbour, fulfilling a life-long dream to live in Cape Breton. They now have 2 fantastic children and couldn’t be happier with their decision.
Schön took a detour from her Massage Therapy career to raise her children, work at Brook Village Grocery, L’Arche Cape Breton, and Bayview Child Development Centre. At Bayview Child Development Centre she pursued further education and received her Diploma as an Early Childhood Educator.
Schön's philosophy of care is based in the belief that returning the body to the “Rest and Digest” state of the parasympathetic nervous system allows for optimal healing. She intentionally facilitates a calm, soothing environment. Her massage style is fluid and intuitive; with levels of pressure catered to each client.
Schön believes the ethics of being a Massage Therapist is a sacred trust between her and her clients, maintaining clear communication, consent, and confidentiality. She listens carefully to her clients to build treatment goals collaboratively.
