Care may support comfort, movement and symptom management. Nana does not diagnose or cure arthritis, endometriosis or other medical conditions, and will recommend medical assessment or collaborative care when indicated.

Available by assessmentScope, safety and consent
Every session starts with information, questions and consent. The plan can change at any time according to your comfort, response and goals.
Massage Therapy assessment and treatment remain within the Ontario RMT scope of practice. Consent is obtained before and throughout assessment, treatment and any change to the plan.
Expressive Movement Facilitation is educational and experiential. It is not medical treatment and does not replace medical or psychiatric diagnosis, counselling or regulated mental-health care.
Sessions use age-appropriate adaptations. Screening, emergency contact information, consent from a parent or authorized decision-maker, and the chaperone policy are discussed before care begins.
Services may support comfort, mobility and function but do not promise a cure. Referral or collaboration with a physician or another regulated professional is recommended when a concern falls outside scope.
