Meet Anya Hannah Kerr
Registered Massage Therapist in The Annex
Anya has been a Registered Massage Therapist in Ontario since 2017, but has a history with body work and massage that goes back to her childhood. Her experience ambles through Latin America for several years, through two massage therapy schools (Chichén Itzá School of Massage Therapy in Guadalajara, Mexico in 2010, and Sutherland-Chan School of Massage Therapy in Toronto from 2015-2016), mentorships in Mexico, Guatemala and Argentina, and a wide variety of continuing education across the Americas. Anya has been actively pursuing more breadth and depth of knowledge in her field for over a decade. Being legally blind (permanent 20/200 vision), proudly queer, bilingual and having a history of chronic illness (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) all inform her philosophy as an RMT, and keep her looking outside, inside and all around the box for answers.
From both a personal and clinical perspective, Anya believes strongly in the importance of tailoring treatments to the unique experiences and goals of each individual, and she is enthusiastic about creating the best treatment experience for everyone.

I offer a sliding scale to a limited number of individuals that are low income and do not have extended health benefits. Please contact me by email before booking if you are interested and cost is a barrier to your care. (Currently Full)
Health & Safety
Masks are now optional for clients. I will continue to wear an N95, have a high quality air filter on, and clean all equipment and furniture that hands and faces touch between clients.
If you have any potentially contagious illnesses or conditions (cold, flu, COVID, rash, etc), please contact me before your appointment to discuss your options. Sometimes (like if you have a fever) you cannot safely receive a massage. Other times (cough, localized rash), we can work around it with masking or avoiding the affected area.
