CECILIA VUGTS-VERLOUW
MASSAGE THERAPIST AND FACIAL MASSAGE EXPERT
With over 20 years of hands-on experience, I specialize in massage treatments that provide genuine relief—physically, emotionally, and aesthetically. Since 2005, I’ve utilized various techniques, from facial rejuvenation and lymphatic drainage to deep-tissue and chronic pain relief.
One of my specialties is natural anti-aging facial massage, a safe and effective alternative to injections or surgical procedures. I’ve spent over a decade teaching this approach to hundreds of professionals internationally, which has given me a deep understanding of how facial structures change over time and how to respond to those changes with precision and care.
At Pembina Massage Therapy, my goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely cared for—and to provide treatments that deliver lasting results long after the session ends.
