Madison “Maddy” Walker
Registered Massage TherapistMaddy was born and raised in central Alberta growing up on a farm just outside of Lacombe. She has always kept her home base local, now living with her family raising her kids on a farm west of Innisfail. Living in connection with the self and the earth have always been a huge factor in Maddy’s life. She knew from the start that a career path on the healing journey would be right for her.
Completing her first year of registered massage therapy at the Alberta Institute of Massage in 2013 she began working full time in her hometown and absolutely fell in love with helping others on their path of finding balance. Promptly attending her second year of schooling at the Northern Institute of Massage Therapy including her Lensen Therapy, she dove head first into this lifestyle of natural living and healing as a 2200 hour Therapist. Always looking for new techniques to find balance in the body while incorporating the things she already loved such as essential oils, Maddy continued her education journey completing her Raindrop Technique Practitioner in 2015. This followed closely by the study of the lymphatic system and how it helps to excrete toxins in the body, she completed her Manual Lymphatic Drainage training as well in 2015, integrating these modalities into her offerings. Understanding the importance of aligning all aspects of the body internal and external Maddy undertook her 200 hour Yoga Training in 2016. This erupted change in her world as it unlocked her being into the balance of not just body, internal and external but also the balance of the mind and energy. Continuing her education in this direction in 2017 with Empowered Yoga, she completed BEology, the mindful awareness of BEing with our body, coping with the emotions and stress that can arise in daily life. Finding huge success with her clients and students Maddy furthered the journey and completed her Meditation and Mindfulness training in 2018. She also completed her Access Conscious Bars, the alignment of the body through energetic healing in the same year.
Having experience with the physical body as a massage therapist and yoga instructor and now dabbling in the emotional/energetic body with guided meditation and stress management, Maddy decided Expanding her knowledge was the only way. This sparked her journey to Hawaii to learn with the elders. Maddy immersed herself for a month on the island of Maui alongside the sacred elders for training. It is here that she learned the art of Advanced Sacred Lomi Lomi and Kua Lua Hawaiian Back Walking. A beautiful soul healing month that opened her eyes exponentially on how to live in alignment with the earth and body. Many experiences in Hawaii shaped the practice Maddy offers now; the Sacred elders had much to share.
Once returning home Maddy realized that it is not just adults who experience imbalance in this day and age but also our youth, she embarked on a journey to Ireland where she completed her Rainbow Kids Yoga Training, incorporating creative play through movement and breath. Healing the inner child. Continuing her learnings from her travels Maddy completed her Usui System of Natural Healing Reiki Level 1 as well as her Level 2 allowing for a system of whole body healing; mind, body, soul. Bringing all of these learnings together to one place she continued working full time with a full body healing approach. Maddy also began working closely in many schools, scheduling visits to teach health and wellness to students in the classroom across the Wolf Creek School Division. In 2021 Maddy moved from Lacombe with her family to their farm West of Innisfail where they practice aligned living and sustainable farming.
