About Us
Our philosophy
body + mind - sports massage therapy uses a logo that features the Japanese Enso symbol which represents "a moment when the mind is free to simply let the body/spirit create". At our clinic we aim to connect the mind to the body by releasing the tissue through deep massage techniques, creating a harmony between the body and mind.
We believe that when we relieve the pain, tightness, knots from your body it frees the mind to concentrate on more productive things. That's why on top of our great massage techniques we provide a warm, inviting atmosphere where you can check your stress at the door. It is our hope that by the time you leave the clinic you will be able to face the world refreshed and balanced.

Rina McNairn - Owner (RMT and A.R.T trained)
Rina is an experienced and passionate massage therapist. She began her full time professional career at a busy sports clinic in January of 2001. Since then she has had incredibly meaningful experiences volunteering for two medical treks in Nepal where she was looking for new limits and challenges.
This life-changing experience inspired her to open her own massage therapy business. Her dream came true in August of 2010 when she opened Body + Mind - Sports Massage Therapy Clinic with the manifest to bring a warm, healing experience to her clients.
