April Markou

About

April Markou grew up in the Thornbury, Meaford and Collingwood area.  She graduated from the Veterinary Technology program at St Lawrence College, Kingston as a Registered Veterinary Technician in 2001.  She spent 14 years working in local clinics until she decided to take her career in a different direction.  Even though her love for animals hasn’t changed, she decided to become a Registered Massage Therapist graduating from the Massage Therapy program at Georgian College, Barrie in December 2017.

She decided to go into this health profession because she wanted to help people who are in pain, recovering from injuries or experiencing stress or anxiety.  She feels that massage therapy plays an important role in the healing process and is extremely beneficial in optimizing overall health and well-being.  Lastly, she believes in client empowerment and involves her clients in all aspects of their treatments to help them achieve their goals.

April lives in Collingwood with her husband Jim and their two children Athena and Cameron.  She loves to spend time with her family and friends.  She also enjoys the abundance of four-season activities that this area has to offer which includes hiking, swimming, biking, skiing, and snowboarding.
