Eryka Callaghan

I am very excited to be a Registered Massage Therapist and Certified Lymphedema Therapist at Breast Rehab, and to be part of such an amazing team of health care professionals driven to provide the best care possible to their patients. My passion for health care developed while working in hospitals, long-term care facilities and hospices in both Canada and the UK. While raising my four children, I took a break from patient care to operate a home daycare. I chose Massage Therapy as my second career to fulfill my passion for providing patient-centered care in a health care setting. I have a strong passion for women’s health and have experience volunteering with the Ottawa Breastfeeding Buddies program to help new parents in their breastfeeding journey. I am grateful for the opportunity to combine my experience as a RMT, mom, and a former community breastfeeding support to offer specialized services catered towards breast or chest feeding parents and their little ones.

When not working you can find me spending time with my family or crocheting.
