Oakville Beaver Readers’ Choice — Diamond Winner, Best Massage Therapist (2023 & 2024)
Upkar became a Registered Massage Therapist because she loves people, and this is the best way she knows to help them.
Long before it was her profession, massage was simply something she believed in. She still gets one herself most weeks — she’s felt what it does for her own health, and that’s not something you unlearn. It changed things for her.
But she’s just as interested in the why as the how. Anatomy, movement, the way tension quietly builds in places you’d never think to look — that’s the part that keeps her curious. Her work is targeted. She’s hunting for what’s actually driving the problem, usually somewhere deeper than where you feel it. Most clients are surprised by what she finds. The relief afterward is the best part of her job.
She works with deep pressure by default, but that’s a starting point, not a rule. She’ll check in as you go and find your right amount together. Same with conversation — happy to chat, and just as happy to let you have a quiet hour. She reads the room. You’ll get the session you came for.
Diamond winner, two years running. Once you’re on her table, it makes sense
