A local girl, Amanda Sargent was born and raised in Sarnia and attended Lambton College. Prior to becoming a Registered Massage Therapist in 2003, Amanda spent time in the healthcare setting as a nursing student and a personal support worker. Amanda has gained experience working as part of a multi-disciplinary healthcare team, at Canada’s leading facility for comprehensive healthcare assessments, and in a small family chiropractic office. Amanda has additional training in fascial release, advanced lumbar spine techniques, and Neuromuscular Integration and Structural Alignment (NISA). Amanda has special interests in pregnancy and deep tissue massage. She is excited to be back home to serve her local community as a member of In Motion’s Health Team.

I am a new resident of Sarnia as of August 2023. I grew up in Ingersoll, then made London my home in the early 90's. The youngest of 6 children, my parents were always encouraging us to be active and live healthy lives. I attended Fanshawe College after high school for Fitness & Health Promotion and worked at the YMCA for many years teaching Aerobic Classes and Personal Training. In my mid 20's I ran two marathons and competed in several Triathlons. Nowadays, I enjoy Yoga, walking, cycling and lifting weights.

It wasn't until I was in my 30's that I decided to go back to school for Massage Therapy at D'Arcy Lane. During my 18 plus years as an RMT, I've had the opportunity to expand my knowledge by taking such courses as: Acupressure, Ultrasound Therapy, Deep Tissue Manipulation and Thai Massage.

I have a daughter and son, and a granddaughter. My partner has two daughters and a son. Family is very important to us. I never visited Sarnia until I met my partner who was born and raised here. Over the years, and our many trips to Sarnia for family functions and outings with friends, I came to love the area. Being so close to the water is truly a perk. Now, I find myself saying "I can't believe I actually live here".

As soon as I stepped through the doors of In Motion, I knew I found my new work home. Such a comfortable environment, and a group of talented individuals who truly love what they do was evident.  As part of the In Motion Team I am excited to be working alongside other like-minded Healthcare Professionals. I am eager to learn some new skills and help my clients attain their optimal health goals.  I also look forward to meeting you soon.

Erika earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Physical Therapy in Brazil in 2008 and completed her Bridging Program at the University of Toronto in 2016. During her journey to become a registered Physiotherapist in Canada, she had the opportunity to shadow an expert in the Myofascial Release Approach by John Barnes, which sparked her passion for this technique.

In 2017, Erika began taking specialized courses in Myofascial Release, which she now uses as her primary treatment strategy, along with Neurodevelopmental Therapy (NDT), orthopedic injury management, and manual therapy. This integrated approach allows her to address a wide range of issues, drawing on her diverse training to provide comprehensive care for her patients. With experience in both acute care and rehabilitation settings, Erika has witnessed significant improvements in her patients’ chronic pain, posture, movement patterns, muscle activation, and overall functionality.

Erika takes a holistic view of her patients, believing that understanding the whole person is key to effective treatment. Her goal is to empower individuals to transform their lives and guide them on their healing journeys. She begins with a thorough assessment to identify the root causes of symptoms related to the fascial system, which are unique to each individual. From there, she employs targeted hands-on techniques to address these issues and teaches self-care strategies for managing symptoms between visits. She also introduces specific exercises to enhance strength and mobility, helping patients regain movement and overcome limitations. Finally, Erika provides personalized education to help patients learn how to use their bodies correctly, reducing pain and enabling them to participate fully in their activities.

In her free time, Erika enjoys spending time with her family, exploring the outdoors, and staying active. She has a strong interest in neuroscience and emotional intelligence, fascinated by how the brain functions and its impact on the body’s interpretation to signals, judgement, behavior, movement, and overall well-being. Additionally, Erika is passionate about women's health and is eager to explore this area further in her career.

I was born and raised half in London, and the other half on a farm in Strathroy. I have worked in the administrative/customer service industry for 15+ years. In recent years, I have enjoyed the financial/accounting side to administration, but overall enjoy meeting new people and building on my customer service expertise. 

Among COVID downtime, I decided to become a First Aid/CPR instructor, and enjoy teaching to help build a safer community.

I love travelling, and have spent a year backpacking through New Zealand, as well as numerous trips to Key West. I have visited 16 countries so far and hope to continue exploring with my spouse, Adam, and my 3 children.
