About Me:

I’m Alanna. I’m a massage therapist, educator, and unapologetic nervous system nerd. I started Salience because our profession deserves education that’s evidence-based and human — clear enough to apply tomorrow, but flexible enough to honour the messy, complex reality of working with actual people. Learning about pain and the nervous system doesn’t have to be overwhelming. I’m here to bring some clarity and simplicity to the process and leave you feeling confident.
