Joline Snoddon

Joline Snoddon
Registered Massage Therapist

I love my job, no truly! I graduated the Massage Therapy program at Georgian college in 2012 and have been registered with the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario since December of 2012. I started my practice in January of 2013 at a Physiotherapist clinic in North Bay. I began my self-employment in May of 2014 in a private training studio on Main Street and have treated an upwards amount of 550 people since.
My husband and I both grew up in North Bay and have moved back to be closer to family and pursue our careers.
My treatment preference is a moderate to deep pressure massage on specific areas of concern. That being said, everyone has a unique pain tolerance threshold and with open communication I can adjust any treatment to assure you receive the massage you’re looking for. I strive to work within your tolerance but also use enough pressure to stretch and manipulate muscular tissue for optimal relief.
