Driftwood Studios by Nina Reiss, RMT

Shaped by the tide

The story of Driftwood Studios is also the story of me.

I’ve always been a little bit of a drifter - shaped by the places I’ve been, the people I’ve loved, and the tides I’ve followed. It’s never been easy for me to anchor down. Like driftwood, I’ve been carried, smoothed, and changed by the waters around me… yet my roots and history remain etched into my grain.

There was a time when I’d often speak about leaving, about drifting on to the next thing. A close friend once paused, looked at me, and asked the kind of question that lingers long after it’s spoken. It was a reminder that even those who wander need somewhere to land.

Driftwood Studios is that landing.

Driftwood Studios is my home-based massage therapy practice in Toronto, Ontario - a quiet harbour for bodies in motion, for people shaped by their own tides. Here, skilled therapeutic techniques meet an intuitive, artful touch. Whether I’m using the gentle rhythms of lymphatic drainage, the depth of focused therapeutic work, or the soothing warmth of hot stones, my aim is the same: to create a space where your body feels safe enough to soften.

This is a place for fellow drifters - those who know what it is to move with the tide, to feel caught in the current, or to rest among others who have been shaped by similar waters. You may arrive carried by your own currents - the stress, the pace, the seasons of your life - and Driftwood will hold you long enough to rest. Long enough to let the noise quiet. Long enough to drift into stillness, maybe even sleep.

Every treatment at Driftwood Studios is eligible for insurance coverage under Registered Massage Therapy in Ontario. But more than that, it’s an invitation: to come home to your body, to breathe deeply, and to remember the strength that remains, no matter how the tides have shaped you.

From tide to still water - welcome to Driftwood Studios.
