Jennifer Ma

Jennifer is a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) and a graduate of Vancouver Career College. She has experience relieving neck and shoulder tension while providing relaxation-focused treatments. Her techniques include swedish massage, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and Golgi tendon release.

Jennifer's massage style generally focuses on light to moderate pressure, balancing therapeutic effectiveness with relaxation. Based on her experience, excessive pressure, particularly around the neck and shoulders, can sometimes cause discomfort rather than relief. She believes effective massage therapy is not always about applying more pressure, but about finding the right balance for each individual.

Because everyone experiences pressure differently, Jennifer listens to her patients' feedback and adjusts her techniques to provide a comfortable, personalized, and effective treatment experience.

Outside her practice, Jennifer enjoys drawing, gaming, hiking, and photographing her cat when the weather is nice.

Jennifer is currently accepting new patients at Ume Massage and looks forward to supporting them on their wellness journeys!
