MORGAN JACQUES
Registered Massage Therapist
I’ve been practicing massage therapy since 2005, and am a graduate of Sutherland-Chan massage therapy school in Toronto. With 18+ years of experience, I pride myself on being a very intuitive therapist and will often pair therapeutic techniques with relaxation techniques into your treatment. The result will have you feeling balanced, relieved and refreshed. In addition to my massage therapy training, I’ve also held a teaching assistant position at the Canadian College of Massage and Hydrotherapy and am a certified meditation teacher. Holistic wellness has always been a part of my life from a young age, and I’ve had the pleasure of working in several holistic health studios over the years. This is where I thrive the most, so I am really thrilled to be a part of the team of practitioners here at Up Yoga+Wellness. A Paris resident myself, you’ve likely seen me walking all over town with my two kiddos, or hanging out at the rink every weekend. A large majority of my clients are fellow Mamas and I love welcoming each and every one onto my table for some much needed self-care (because I’m right there with you!). We love supporting all of the small businesses in town, from coffee shops to restaurants to retail stores. Community is everything, and I’m so grateful we live in a great one. I can’t wait to see you around the studio!
ERIN MCKNIGHT
Registered Massage Therapist

Hi, I’m Erin! I am a Registered Massage Therapist, having graduated from Lambton College’s Massage Therapy program in 2017. My practice is rooted in an understanding that massage offers holistic and comprehensive therapy for the mind, body and spirit. I am passionate about supporting my clients in their journey to overall health and well-being. I am committed to providing personalized care that is tailored to meet each client’s specific goals. I specialize in a variety of massage therapy techniques that effectively manage soft tissue injury or strain, muscle tension, stress, sleep disturbances and headaches. To help clients achieve their treatment goals, my adaptive approach to massage therapy includes deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, Swedish massage, and relaxation massage. As a benefit to my clients, I have completed further education courses in other therapeutic modalities such as cupping therapy, cupping for lymphatic drainage and hot stone massage. I’m excited to be part of the Up Yoga+Wellness team and the positive impact they have on our community.

CHRISTINE WINKLE
RSSW, Psychotherapist
​
Hi, I'm Christine! A psychotherapist with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers. I hold a strong belief that folks are imperfectly perfect. They are beautiful and spectacular AND can become stuck, unhappy, and unable to live a fulfilling life. That's where I come in. Whether you're looking for help with managing anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, substance use, or self- compassion, I would love to hold a safe and supportive space to allow for your healing to begin. I strive to bring folks into a place of connection with self, relationships, and life as it arises. As a new mom, spouse, sister, daughter, friend, therapist, and above all, human, I know what it's like to feel stuck, hopeless, anxious, and overwhelmed. As a therapist, I'll walk alongside you to gently guide and challenge you to work through life's ups and downs. I use traditional talk therapy such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy skills, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, as well as integrate somatic approaches in session such as yoga, mindfulness, meditation, and Poly-vagal theory.
