Andrew Thomas BSc.Kin., M.T.

After obtaining a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from Dalhousie University (2001), I was not sure what I wanted to do next. I enjoyed anatomy, working with people, and helping them learn about their bodies. I took a year off of school and tried various jobs ranging from an ergonomist to a door-to-door insurance agent. Although such endeavors did involve helping people in some ways, they just weren’t ‘hands on’ enough. In the fall of 2002 I enrolled in the Massage Therapy program at ICT Northumberland College here in Halifax.

Since I graduated in June 2004, I have been thrilled to get my hands on people, ease their pain, and help them maintain and/or enhance their personal health and quality of life.

For the last year, I have become involved in Capoeira, the Brazilian Dance-Fight Game. This martial art mixes fluid dance-like movements with dramatic kicks and postures. It is a great way to develop strength, coordination and balance. If you have a conversation with me, chances are that Capoeira will enter into it at some point. In my free time I also like to read, listen to music and try to play jazz guitar.
