about metta
the beginning
Early in her massage therapy career, Jennifer learned about the Buddhist concept of Metta [loving-kindness]. Metta is a cultivated mental state in which one's attention is directed towards the well-being of others.
It changed everything.
Instead of focusing on technique, pressure, or performance, she began placing her intention into one quiet idea: what if the practice of Metta could be applied in my work?
That shift in focus transformed her work - improving the quality, deepening the purpose + the impact.
Her treatments stopped being something she did and became something she gave.
Presence accompanied pressure.
Metta became the heart of her practice.
a home for metta
During a walk in 2013, Jennifer noticed a red-brick building in Toronto’s Upper Beaches + immediately fell in love.
She took a photo of it + saved it.
Six years later, a Kijiji listing appeared for that very building.
What followed was a leap of faith supported by her husband Jay: the calm, numbers-loving, behind-the-scenes partner who helped turn a dream into a real, thriving space.
In early 2020, Metta opened its doors, and just weeks later, the world shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
But with an unwavering vision + the support of the community, it grew.
It became a refuge for those craving safety, comfort, human connection + a momentary escape from the world.
And now, as we begin our seventh year of business, we have a team of ten carefully selected practitioners + five treatment rooms.
our philosophy

We will never treat you like a number.
