Massage therapy for your jaw pain.
Are you tired of constant jaw tension, pain, and headaches?
I was too! That's why I've created a practice dedicated to helping people find long term relief from their head, neck, and jaw pain. I utilize targeted intra-oral massage therapy and custom self-treatment plans to create an all-natural, drug-free approach to your jaw pain and headaches.
Whether you're experiencing jaw locking, popping, headaches, or simply tension you've landed in the right place!
Hi, I’m Victoria
I'm a jaw focused Registered Massage Therapist, owner, and sole-practitioner at Webster Massage Therapy (my cozy, private, home massage therapy clinic in rural Hamilton, ON).
I love helping people (like you!) find relief.
Why?
Because I’ve been there! After struggling with jaw & head pain myself for many years (and struggling to find practitioners who could help me!). I decided to focus my practice on helping those suffering with jaw & head pain.
I’m confident treating inside the mouth with comfortable intra-oral techniques and have taken more TMJ (jaw) educational courses than the average massage therapist. I feel confident and excited to assess and treat your jaw pain to give you the relief you need.

Unsure about TMJ massage? Here's what it looks like!
Assessment
Let's start off by seeing (and feeling) how your jaw is moving. Clicking? Popping? Wobbles? I'll assess it all!
I'll also ask you some questions related to your jaw. This is your time to share the good, the bad, and the ugly about how your jaw acts on a daily basis. I want to hear it all!
Treatment
Not just on your jaw! Muscles of the shoulders, neck, face, and head will also be addressed. Gentle intra-oral and Swedish techniques will give relief to your tight muscles.
Not to mention facial and scalp massage feel oh-so-good. You'll be hooked!
Home Care
You'll be sure to leave with a little more understanding of your jaw pain, what you can do on your own, and a plan moving forward. A lot can be done on your own!
Your home care exercises will be an important piece of getting you back to pain free living.
Don't wait any longer! Get the relief you need.
Why choose me?
JAW FOCUSED
My entire practice is centered around helping those with jaw pain. I see and treat jaw pain every single day and have advanced education. I am ready to walk with you and support you on your jaw pain journey.
SPA VIBES
My treatment space is warm, cozy, and welcoming. Extras like hot towels, heated massage table and aromatherapy are always included at no extra cost. I believe you can have relief and relaxation in the same treatment!
PEACE & QUIET
My space is private (no noisy clinic chatter on the other side of the door) and I don't initiate small talk during treatment. I'm honoured to give you (silent!) space to relax and heal. You can breathe that sigh of relief!
CUSTOM TAILORED
Every day is different. That is why I am always using my assessment & palpation skills to focus on the areas of tension that need it most. I keep detailed notes so we can track progress and focus on releasing areas that provide relief!
KNOWLEDGE
Have questions about your unique jaw sounds, pain, or movement? I can help! Providing information about what's really going on in your jaw is one of my top priorities for our first visit together. Say goodbye to Dr. Google!
SIMPLE
I offer online booking and I can direct bill most insurance companies. Automatic waitlists make it easy for you to get notified when a spot has opened up that fits your schedule. I make it easy for you to have the best experience, start to finish.
EMPOWERMENT
I provide you with a custom home-care and treatment plan conveniently stored on your online portal. I update this as we work together so that you always know the next steps and feel empowered to reduce your jaw pain on your own.
CLEANLINESS
All linens are changed between clients and all touch points are sanitized. I've allotted plenty of time between appointments to ensure everything is fresh, clean, and ready for you when you arrive.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. I firmly believe you will heal faster and better if treatments are kept pain free. I use gentle but effective myofascial massage techniques to reduce muscle tension in the muscles that need it most. Your mouth does not need to be open for intra-oral massage work and I will check in with you during treatment. Some clients actually fall asleep during their TMJ massage!
For acute jaw pain apply a cold compress to your jaw 4-5 times a day for 10 minutes. Try self massaging your jaw and temples with your fingertips in small circular motions. Eat soft foods and take small bites, chewing with both sides of your mouth. Practice relaxing your jaw (rest your tongue flat on the roof of your mouth, teeth separated and lips closed). Finally, you may choose to ask your doctor or pharmacist about medication to help with pain.
Avoid chewing gum or overly chewy foods, head forward posture, resting your jaw on your hand, stomach sleeping, and mouth breathing.
Massage therapy appointment pricing can be found on my online booking site. It is important to note that jaw pain is never a quick fix and takes time and intentional effort on your part.
Typically, it is helpful to see you regularly (every 1-2 weeks) for the first two months of treatment depending on the severity of your symptoms. I will recommend a length (ie. 30 min vs. 60 min) of follow up based on my assessment. From there, some people choose to book "maintenance" sessions which can range from every 1-4 months.
I may also suggest other therapies that could directly benefit your jaw alongside the work we are doing here. This would be an added cost.
You may cancel your appointment before 48 hours with no charge.
If you cancel/reschedule your appointment with less than 48 hours notice for any reason, please book a willing friend or family member in your place (and contact me to let me know of the change) otherwise the credit card on file will be charged 70% of the appointment cost. If you let me know with less than 4 hours notice 100% of the appointment fee will be charged.
Why? It is typically very difficult for me to fill appointments with less than 48 hours notice. Your cooperation with this policy helps to protect my time and livelihood.
I promise to respect your time just the same in return. If I cancel your massage (for any reason!) with less than 48 hours notice - your next massage is 70% off or FREE!
Due to the nature of my work this policy is firm and non-negotioable. All clients must support and agree to this policy in order to work with me.
Please call me to let me know if you are running late.
Get here as safely as possible and the remainder of your appointment will be utilized upon your arrival. Please note that if you are more than 15 minutes late without notice your appointment will be cancelled the above cancellation policy will apply.
You are more than welcome and encouraged to arrive up to 5 minutes early to your appointment.
I prioritize working with people who are suffering from jaw & head pain/tension. Please email me first if you are looking to book a general therapeutic massage and we have not worked together before.
If I am unable to see you due to strong demand for jaw work then I will be more than happy to refer you to one of my amazing colleagues who can help you.
You deserve to finally find relief from your jaw pain!
