About BAO Massage
BAO Massage is a solo practice led by Registered Massage Therapist Jennifer Semeniuk, offering therapeutic massage tailored to clients with pain, chronic conditions, injury, and complex medical histories. Rather than one-size-fits-all relaxation, sessions begin with conversation about current health concerns and are adapted in real time—combining deep, focused work or slower, regulated approaches depending on the client's capacity that day. Semeniuk draws from a range of modalities including massage therapy, myofascial techniques, craniosacral therapy, reflexology, manual lymphatic drainage, cupping, and therapeutic hot stone, with treatment shaped by what the client's body needs rather than a preset sequence. The practice emphasizes trauma-informed, consent-based care; education about the body between sessions; and function-focused work that acknowledges pain and dysfunction are rarely straightforward. Semeniuk has a particular clinical interest in medically complex clients, those living with chronic pain and neurological conditions, long-term stress, and overlapping health concerns. The clinic is located within Wintersweet Wellness Collective in Edmonton.
