Lily Meyer RMT – Retired after 25 years of serving

Every once in a while, we get to celebrate a milestone that is both bittersweet and exciting. After many wonderful years—22, to be exact!—as a Registered Massage Therapist, I have made the challenging decision to officially retire from my practice. This is certainly a bittersweet moment for me.

Over the years, I have had the incredible privilege of caring for so many wonderful people. You trusted me with your health, and often with the health of your friends and family as well. You shared your lives, your stories, your challenges, and your joys with me. Together, we have celebrated successes and milestones, welcomed new beginnings, and, at times, grieved together. I have had the honour of watching families grow and, in some cases, caring for multiple generations. I will truly miss hearing your updates—the celebrations, the joyful moments, and even the difficult ones. While I am excited to embrace this next chapter and all that retirement will bring, I know I will deeply miss the relationships I have built with so many of you.

Every single, unique one of you has touched my life in profound and meaningful ways. I will carry these memories with me and hold them close as I begin this next chapter. My heart is absolutely bursting with gratitude for the fullness of it all. Thank you for allowing me to be a small part of your lives and for trusting me to be part of your health and wellness journey. It has been an honour, a privilege, and one of the greatest gifts of my career. But your care is in wonderful hands!

We are thrilled to welcome and introduce you to Tracey Collins – Registered Massage Therapist, to our team. Tracey brings her own unique style, 30 years of experience and passion for massage therapy, while sharing our commitment to individualized, compassionate care. She is a graduate from Sutherland Chan – one of the top skills orientated schools in Canada.

A bit more about Tracey…. “I chose this profession because I wanted to work in healthcare, help people, and make a meaningful difference in their lives. After 30 years, that motivation continues to be at the heart of my practice. My approach is focused, personalized, and results-driven. I take the time to understand what is bothering you and tailor each treatment to what your body needs most, with a particular focus on the head, neck, shoulders, and back. Depending on your individual needs, treatment may incorporate a variety of techniques, including Swedish massage, cupping, post-surgical massage, and TMJ dysfunction therapy. My goal is to help reduce pain and tension, improve mobility, and support your overall health and wellness. Most importantly, I genuinely care about the people I work with. After 30 years in this profession, my passion has not waned — I still truly love what I do.’

So, don’t worry — your massage therapy journey doesn’t have to end with my retirement. It simply has a new beginning. All my patients are warmly invited to book with Tracey and experience her approach for yourself. She is available Mondays & Fridays. Wednesdays after September 30th. For September when you book an hour treatment time with Tracey you will receive 75 minutes of care.*

If you’re still with me… I want to formally thank the trail of people who led me to this day. In chronological order… To Tony P., who hit me with a baseball, and Christine H., the aromatherapy student who was excited to deal with the resulting hematoma. That incident was the spark that started my journey into Massage Therapy. Funny how life-changing moments can come from the most unexpected—and sometimes painful—places. To my parents, who footed the very expensive bill for my education. When I expressed my goals and my desire to go back to school, you never hesitated to support me. Your faith in me, your trust, and your willingness to invest in my dreams gave me the opportunity to fulfill this goal and embark on what became an incredible career path.

To Dr. Diane Meyer— my colleague, kinda-boss, and seeester… There is absolutely NOTHING I could ever say or type that would adequately express how damn lucky I am to have you in my life. When my life fell apart, you gave me opportunity. You gave me a place to heal. You gave me a place to work. You allowed me, step by painful step, to rebuild my life—and through it all, you have always been one of my biggest cheerleaders. I have been by your side for many years, but the truth is, you have always had my back—literally and figuratively. I love you. I thank you. And somehow, even saying those words doesn’t feel like enough to repay you for everything you have given me. I will, however, continue to replenish the good snacks. Lastly, my hubby & ECP, Randy… Thank you for your unwavering love and support. From endless loads of laundry to late-night dinners, you have done so much to make my life easier—even during the times when I felt like I should be the one making your life easier. Having you, Julia, Sarah, Naythan and Aubrey in my life makes this transition a little less scary and a whole lot less sad. We have so much to enjoy, experience and look forward to. We are an incredible team, and while saying goodbye to this chapter is bittersweet, I am genuinely excited to see what our twilight years have in store for all of us. I love you all more than you know. With heartfelt gratitude, Lily

Tracey Collins, RMT

I have had the privilege of living abroad for more than 15 years working with non-profits with my focus always being on caring for individuals. While overseas I was introduced to a more holistic approach to health and healing and shortly after returning to Canada was introduce to Chiropractic care – all I can say is that at the time it was life changing!

When I found myself looking for a new career path in 2024 I wanted to be part of a team that cared for people and made a difference in the lives of others. I was very happy to join the team at Meyer Chiropractic Health Centre and am enjoying getting to know our patients and working alongside and supporting Dr. Diane and her amazing team.
