Massage Therapist

In 2013, my family and I moved to Canada. I continued my journey as a health facilitator by finishing my 2200-hour training at the Massage Therapy College of Manitoba.

At this point, my journey transformed my view of the value of touch. These past years, I mastered the Myofascial Cupping Technique and Sports Massage Technique, finished all modalities with Tissue Talk Academy, and am on my way to becoming a Cranio Sacral therapist. Moreover, I had the privilege to work with young athletes at special events across Alberta and become a mom of the elite athlete.

I am helping my daughter, Sofya Fursova, reach her dream of becoming an Olympian in the Figure Skating world. Massage Therapy has become my passion and style of living, and I facilitate my clients with the desire to bring their bodies and mind into balance.

Massage Therapist

I’ve spent most of my life living in Alberta, although I was born in Poland. My family came to Canada when I was almost 4 years old and have been living in Edmonton ever since. After finishing high school, I completed some post secondary in Business studies at Grant MacEwan, a Personal Training certification from the international Sport and Science Association and completed the 3000 hour Massage Therapy program at MaKami College. This education has solidified my understanding of how the body functions, in movement and at rest. Since graduating in 2017, I’ve focused my practice on Facial Decompression. Working very deep into the tissue, but gently, offering a different approach to the “tradition massage”.

I’m also working towards becoming certified in Kinetic Massage, which allows for movement and stretching along with traditional massage techniques.

These two modalities are incredibly effective and have a relaxing and therapeutic effect on pain and tension.

I am very excited to bring this knowledge to RecovrPhysio. My goal is to incorporate my education into a specialized treatment plan and get clients moving and feeling better long term.
