(Scandinavian): Alive, life; place of refuge.

Massage for people experiencing grief and loss, stress, and anxiety.

Viveca Massage is a place of refuge in your grief.

Meet Tanya.

Hi, I’m Tanya Thomlinson, a Registered Massage Therapist living in beautiful Calgary, Alberta.

After a career in the corporate world and then taking time away from paid work to raise my family, I went back to school to become an RMT, and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I absolutely love what I do! I also love a good psychological thriller-suspense novel, my three adorable rescue cats, and homemade lasagna. I stay active with cardio/strength workouts and yoga, and I’m trying to drink more water (and sometimes I even meet my goals). Twice a month, I volunteer at Ronald McDonald House, offering massage to the caregivers (usually parents) of the children staying at the House. Also, I’m fully vaccinated and boosted against COVID-19, and I get my flu shot every year.

Since early 2022, my career has focused on working with clients experiencing grief due to bereavement or other loss, or coping with stress or anxiety. My treatment room is clean and quiet, and located in a private home in the community of Dalhousie, in NW Calgary. Leave your worries and anxieties behind and enter this gentle, calming space. You are welcome just as you are.
