About the Practitioner and Owner, Derek Chisholm LPN, LMT

My passion centers on discovering the cause of my clients’ physical pain and providing massage and bodywork treatments to alleviate their physical discomfort and mental stress.  Simply put, I help them achieve physical well-being and mental peace. 

My career in wellness began in 1993 after receiving my EMT and CNA nursing degrees.  I was in nursing for 27 years.  My passion for caring for people and my desire to work for myself provided the springboard for me to move on and gain further education in Massage Therapy with a focus on Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT).  NMT is a precise and thorough treatment of soft tissues using regionally oriented protocols taught in a step-by-step process.  The hands-on techniques of NMT are time-tested and build upon a science-based foundation guided by clinical evidence and applied to structural Kinesiology (the study of body mechanics).  I earned my degree and became a Licensed Massage Therapist in 2008.  I continued to further my education and develop my massage techniques over the past 15 years of owning my massage therapy practice.
