Meet Anne
Iām the sole proprietor of a Massage Therapy clinic in the Town of Middleton for the past 20 years. The main objective of my clinic is to teach clients how to accept responsibility for the role in which they play in their own health care by advocating for change.
[Aside from the Community Health Board], I also volunteer for: Annapolis County Active Kids Healthy Kids Society 2014
Positions: Director, Coordinator, Treasurer, Chair Funding Committee, and Founder
Soldiers Memorial Hospital Foundation 2017
Positions: Municipal Representative for the Town of Middleton, Director and Assistant Secretary. Community Recruitment and Retention Team for Physicians in the Middleton, Kingston and Greenwood Area.
Massage Therapists Association of Nova Scotia 2018
Position: Director
I became a Volunteer for the Annapolis Community Health Board in 2012 and served 6 years. I attended the following year as a guest and applied for an additional 3-year term in August 2019.
The information I receive from the Community Health Board as a Massage Therapist and a member of the community is invaluable. It allows me to educate and advocate for people who do not have access to the information that the Community Health Board provides to us.
The leadership role that I was given as a Board Member to facilitate Mental Health First Aid workshops allowed me to bridge the gap on the importance of mental health education to other healthcare providers in establishing Continuing Education credits to both Massage Therapists and Reflexologists.
The CHBs play an important role on educating people on the importance of healthy food choices, mental health wellness, food security, inclusivity, homelessness, physical literacy, and breaking down the barriers so everyone has a greater chance to access services, programs, and education.
I am proud to be a Member of the Annapolis Community Health Board and to work with my fellow Board Members to make our Communities a healthier and happier place to live.
