Meeghan Mackenzie

  • RMT
  • CLT
  • Certified Compression Fitter

Meeghan has worked as a Registered Massage Therapist in Calgary since June 2005. Her early lymphatic training (2011 to 2014) covered both the Vodder and Földi methods, two of the most respected European approaches to manual lymphatic drainage, before she went on to advanced protocols through the Chikly Health Institute, where most of her in-depth clinical training now lives. She earned her Certified Lymphedema Therapist designation through the Academy of Lymphatic Studies.

As a lymphedema therapist she specializes in pre and post-operative surgical lymphatic drainage and scar tissue release, and is one of only a few hundred Certified Lymphedema Therapists in Canada. She also treats with brain therapy and myofascial cupping, and fits and orders medical compression garments.

Her passion for manual therapy led her to create Renu: a tranquil space in the heart of NW Calgary that blends science and art in the process of healing. Her practice pairs relaxation with therapeutic technique in a combination-therapy style, built on the understanding that there is no single approach to an individual’s healthcare needs.

“When human beings experience trauma or severe life stressors, it is not uncommon for their bodies to manifest these in a physical manner. My great passion in life has been to facilitate healing through manual therapy.”

Jennifer Negoescu, massage therapy student practitioner at Renu

Massage Therapy Student, Alberta College of Massage Therapy

Jennifer Negoescu

  • Student practitioner

Bodywork runs deep in Jennifer’s roots. With a lineage of healers on both sides of her family, therapeutic touch has always felt like a natural language. Before pursuing her education in Calgary, she owned and operated a holistic bodywork practice in Los Angeles, working with a diverse clientele seeking both therapeutic relief and restorative care.

She now brings that real-world depth to her clinical training at the Alberta College of Massage Therapy, completing her hours here at Renu. Jennifer’s approach is calm and attentive, helping the nervous system shift out of protective tension so the body can release what it has been holding. Treatments are tailored to the individual and may address stress-related tension, postural strain, muscular discomfort, or circulation and recovery support.

She believes effective care comes from collaboration and clear communication, meeting each client and their body exactly where they are that day.

Don’t let the student title fool you — Jennifer brings years of professional experience from Los Angeles to every session. Book and discover what it feels like to be truly heard and cared for.
