Q + A with Heather Seamone, R.M.T.

Q. How long have you been a R.M.T? What inspired you to start a massage therapy business, and why in Mimico? What did you do before this?

A. I’ve been a R.M.T for 9 years. Before this, I worked in the Corporate world but I found it stressful, and it didn’t align with my personal goals. I knew I wanted to help people, and being a R.M.T. has a direct impact on people’s lives through positive touch. It made sense to open my clinic in my own home. A lot of my clients like the privacy of a home clinic. We love Mimico and our neighborhood and want to see it grow in a positive direction with having quality businesses people can rely on.

Q. What do you love about living in Mimico?

A. My family and I are outdoorsy people. We love living by the Lake and all the green space Mimico offers. One day we counted 9 parks we can walk too! We love that! We also like to bike to the Farmers Markets and get out and experience nature.

Q. I know you have two young kids. How do you balance your work | home life?

A. I definitely work more owning my own business, but the key is that I get to make my own schedule. I have another R.M.T that works with me, so that helps a lot with my flexibility so I am able to attend things like my kids school trips, etc. We have a great support system and lean on friends in the neighborhood when we need to.

Q. What kinds of things do you like to do to unwind?

A. Personally, I like to listen to Oprah’s podcasts called “Super Soul Sunday”. I find them very inspiring. As a family, we like to cycle, hang out in our back yard, take walks to the lake or even in the middle of a snowstorm! Unwinding, to me, is getting outside.

Q. What book are you reading right now?

A. The Conscience Parent by Shefali Tsabary.
