Marina Casey

I was born and raised in Calgary, Alberta. Upon graduating from high school I ventured into numerous aspects of post-secondary education in hopes of finding my calling and found that I had a passion for the arts. I soon discovered I was also meant to help people in a creative, yet alternative way. In order to fulfill my desire to help, I worked with the Reading Foundation to help create visual/remedial reading and writing programs for children. Then, in 2002, I completed my AFLCA as a fitness instructor specializing in Pilates.

The next part of my journey includes my two beautiful children whom I’m absolutely in love with. My children keep me grounded and help me strive to be healthy on all levels (the occasional starbucks mochaccino - no whip just the drizzle helps too).

Chiropractic care, Massage Therapy and Pilates have been a big part of my healing process. I was in a severe head trauma accident in my early teens and have had troubles managing my pain in different periods of my life. I know that these types of methods of taking care of my body have been so medicinal. I feel I’m in my element when contributing in helping people manage their pain or well being. I feel so grateful now that I can be apart of this healing process for anyone - this too is a passion of mine.

Chancey Fongsamouth

Born in Vientiane Laos 1980, Chancey’s parents dangerously fled their homeland taking her and her 5 older siblings away from the communistic form of society. Awaiting immigration in refugee camps south of Thailand for six years, the family were granted sponsorship from the help of an extraordinary Mennonite church in Saskatoon.

Soon after their arrival to Canada her father had fallen very ill with Diabetes, suffering to watch his adverse ordeals during her childhood guided Chancey to help ease the pains through “touch of healing”. Being able to help aid comfort allowed her to realize how rewarding massage truly is.

Chancey’s joyful passions include dance, creative arts, music and travelling. She receives inspiration, laughter and energy from her precious daughter Maliyah, born in the fall of 2001.

Living in Toronto, she studied Fashion at the International Academy of design. Then moved to Calgary with her fiance Meo and daughter in 2004. She went on to pursue a compassionate profession that continues to hold a very special place in her heart. Having been touched by chronic pain has inspired her to help others prevent injury and sustain better health. In April 2008 Chancey graduated at the Calgary College of Holistic Health for Swedish Massage Therapy.

Amanda Rampersaud

I was born in 1983 and raised here in Calgary, Alberta. My mother Canadian and my father from Guyana, South America. All my life I always had a strong interest in body health, nutrition, and beauty. After graduating from high school, it took some time and patience to discover the path to my passions.

Although I have always had a keen interest in body health and well-being, I believe that it was only after a serious motor vehicle accident I had gone through; when I knew I really wanted to become a massage therapist. My head trauma and soft tissue neck injury had become a very painful and extensive healing process, mentally and physically, involving weekly treatments, one of them being massage therapy. I immediately became drawn to the healing world of massage, after witnessing its amazing benefits, and am now dedicated to being a part of that healing process for people. I then went on to pursue obtaining my certification at Calgary's Professional Institute of Massage Therapy.

I am also a certified professional Makeup Artist, in which I attended school for at Calgary's Marvel College. I love doing makeup for all events but especially love doing it for weddings and fashion photo shoots. Makeup Artistry is definitely another one of my passions, along with music, and now traveling.
