Every RMT at The Lighthouse was hand-selected by Sheldon and Jenn — and each one was either taught or mentored by them directly. We built this team around people we trust with our own bodies.
Sheldon founded The Lighthouse in Apsley, Ontario in 2023, running the clinic solo for three years before bringing it home to the Durham Region. Now in his ninth year as a Registered Massage Therapist, Sheldon works with professional and amateur athletes, first responders, and anyone managing chronic pain or working to correct their posture. His background spans high-level sports, yoga instruction, motor vehicle accident care, and oncology massage. Sheldon sees the body through the lens of kinesiology — making him especially effective at identifying the root cause of chronic injury, postural imbalance, and performance limitations. Beyond hands-on treatment, he is a massage therapy instructor at The Royal Canadian College of Massage Therapy, helping shape the next generation of RMTs.
Jenn brings a multi-modality approach to every treatment, integrating Fascial Therapy, IASTM, and Cupping to address muscle tension, fascial restrictions, chronic pain, and mobility limitations. Her goal is not just relief from symptoms, but long-term recovery and improved function. Beyond hands-on care, Jenn keeps The Lighthouse running smoothly as clinic manager and brings three years of experience as a massage therapy instructor — having personally trained several members of this team.
After a 20-year career as a general contractor and tradesperson, Cameron's love of fitness and deep appreciation for anatomy inspired a career change into healthcare. He performs thorough assessments to build customized treatment plans, offering cupping and indie head massage, with a niche in sports therapy and recovery.
Elain is dedicated to providing thoughtful, client-centred care in a welcoming and supportive environment. She works with clients of all ages and believes every treatment should be tailored to the individual's needs, comfort level, and wellness goals — whether seeking relief from tension, managing stress, recovering from strain, or simply taking time to recharge.
Katelyn specializes in tension reduction, pain relief, and movement-focused treatment. She takes an evidence-based approach to understanding the root of each client's discomfort, combining techniques that reduce muscle tension, restore mobility, and help clients feel and function their best. With a growing focus on sports massage, she supports active clients through recovery, injury prevention, and performance maintenance.
Braedan is a Registered Massage Therapist and Registered Kinesiologist with a Bachelor's degree in Kinesiology. He has worked closely with rugby and hockey communities at the sports team level, taking a functional, evidence-based approach specializing in sport and deep tissue massage.
