Meet Our Staff
Kathryn Graham, RMT
Owner/Operator
Kathryn earned her registration with the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario in November 2004, after graduating from the Canadian Therapeutic College in Burlington, Ontario. She began her career in a massage therapy clinic in Brantford, but saw a need for a natural health centre in her hometown of Paris. In October 2005, Hands-On Healing opened its doors. In the years following, it has seen a good deal of growth, expanding from a one-room clinic to currently occupying a two story century home. Hands-On Healing now has 3 treatment rooms, a sauna room, and small yoga studio, with potential for growth. Kathryn hopes to continue with renovations in the future to be able to provide more health related services to her valued clients.
