Jessica Hutson

Jessica has always been passionate about health and wellness. Jessica’s love for physical activity inspired her to learn more about the human body and anatomy. She worked in the fitness industry as a Personal Fitness Trainer, Group Fitness Instructor and Yoga teacher for nearly ten years.

She realized how powerful Physiotherapy and Massage Therapy were while recovering from an accident that left her on crutches for six months. Throughout her treatment she learned the importance of listening to your body, being patient and finding a method of treatment that works for you. She quickly realized the benefits when she could return to activities she had done prior to her accident.

Jessica completed the Registered Massage Therapy program at Utopia Academy in April of 2012. She uses a variety of modalities including deep tissue, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, joint mobilization and stretching. She believes that Massage therapy combined with hydrotherapy and remedial exercise are powerful tools for treating many conditions including whiplash, TMJ Disorder, Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, Tendonitis, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Strains and Sprains, among others.

Please note, Jessica Hutson is also a Registered Clinical Counsellor. If you have seen her for counselling, you will NOT be able to see her for massage therapy. Apologies for any inconvenience.

In my counselling practice I have an affinity for working with clients that hope to address self-exploration and growth, life transitions, trauma, anxiety, depression, and burnout.

As a dedicated counsellor I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life's challenges and discover their inner strengths. With a Master's degree in Counselling Psychology, I offer a compassionate and client-centered approach to therapy.

My counselling philosophy is rooted in the belief that every individual has the capacity for growth and healing. My therapeutic approach is empathic, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I draw from a range of therapeutic modalities, including emotion focused therapy, mindfulness-based techniques, and somatic experiencing techniques, to tailor treatment to each client's unique needs.

My goal is to create a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings, gain insight into their challenges, lived experiences, and develop practical strategies for positive change.

I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
