Robin Adair
(She/Her/Hers)
Robin’s lifelong fascination with human movement and body mechanics began during her early years growing up on a family-run wilderness resort in New Brunswick. From childhood days filled with canoeing, kayaking, and swimming to later founding a small-town rugby team, an active lifestyle has always been her baseline. After graduating from the Evolve College of Massage Therapy in Winnipeg, she relocated to Alberta to connect with the Rocky Mountains and support individuals who share that same adventurous, active spirit.
Deeply empathetic and intuitive, Robin approaches recovery with a strong focus on self-compassion and customized care. She brings a vast clinical toolkit to the clinic, with advanced training in NeuroKinetic Therapy (NKT), Active Isolated Stretching, Muscle Energy Technique, Myofascial Cupping, and the Concussion Fix protocol.
