Sydney Getzinger
Hi! I’m currently finishing my studies at Mount Royal University and am excited to be joining the team at Hunter Massage! I have always been interested in how I can play a part in the health and wellbeing of the community, and am excited to share what I’ve learned. I enjoy focusing on therapeutic and rehabilitation massage as it gives me the opportunity to see progress in my clients.
I live in Speargrass, but grew up going to school in Carseland and Strathmore. Some of my interests include swimming, painting and rock climbing. I am a serious foodie and love to try new things!
I look forward to working with new clients and helping to educate them about out-of-treatment care to prolong the benefits of massage
Extra Information
Sydney is on her journey to becoming a Registered Massage Therapist and we are so happy that she has joined us! As Sydney is still a student her treatments will not be accepted by Insurance companies for benefit coverage, because of this Sydney's appointments will be heavily discounted making her a great option after you've run out of benefits or if you don't have benefits at all!

Tiana Hirber
Hello! My name is Tiana and I am super excited to be starting my career here at Hunter Massage! After a brief period in school for nursing in 2020 I switched my focus and graduated from Mount Royal University with my 2200 hour Massage Diploma.
I really love doing massage because knowing that I can have a positive impact on peoples lives is something that is really important to me. I am very interested in how the body is all connected and learning more through continuing education to serve my clients better.
As for my personal life I am from Calgary, I love reading, going skiing and snowmobiling, hanging out with friends and family. I’m really excited to get to know everyone within the community and getting more experience as a practitioner!
Extra Information
EXTRA UPDATE Tiana now offers Prenatal massage appointments after taking a great continuing education course.
Tiana has a special interest in working with clients with lower body issues, she will be a great help to many who run/walk often and play different types of sports! .

Founder
Sarah Hunter-Schacter
I’ve been working in massage therapy in a professional capacity for over six years, but my experience with bodywork began in 2013 through Equine Massage and Vertebral Realignment. That early hands-on work helped me understand the impact massage can have on performance, recovery, and overall well-being, both for animals and people.
What started as a practical skill quickly became something I wanted to pursue seriously. With some encouragement from my now husband, I decided to build a career in therapeutic massage, focusing on results-driven treatments rather than purely relaxation-based work (though I’ll always appreciate a good relaxation massage myself).
I’m originally from Strathmore, and even though I now live in Calgary, I continue to maintain strong ties with the Strathmore community and clients who have supported me from the start.
In addition to my clinical practice, I currently serve as Vice Chair of the Board of Directors with the Massage Therapist Association of Alberta (MTAA), where I also lead the Leadership Committee. I’m committed to supporting both the profession and the people we serve.
