Jennifer (Teow Hong) Ong
Registered Massage Therapist
Massage Therapy has the ability to integrate the body, mind, and soul. I believe that massage therapy should be incorporated into one’s lifestyle to promote overall wellbeing. Since 2008, I have been improving clients’ lives through the practice of massage as a Registered Massage Therapist. I am passionate about positively enhancing the quality of my client’s life through healing and rejuvenation.
My mission is to tailor each patient’s treatment to their own unique needs. My interest in helping the well-being of others has led me to complete my Classical Homeopath Diploma in 2011 along with various other certification programs. I continuously look for new ways to treat my clients more efficiently and effectively.
My education and experience have allowed me to perform therapeutic treatments and relaxation massages, specializing in Deep Tissue Therapy, Myo-fascial Release, Soft-Tissue Release, Trigger Point Therapy, Lymphatic Drainage massage, and Swedish massage. Depending on the goals and needs of each client, every massage session with each client is an exclusive and enjoyable experience. Postural corrections, therapeutic exercises and self-care programs will be advised when necessary for maintenance and prevention towards optimal health.
In 2016, I will also be a registered and licensed acupuncturist. I look forward to meeting you as well as assisting in your journey to a healthy and balanced way of life.
