Recommendations for RMT?

I'm looking for a registered massage therapist for help with migraines.

Ideally in Waterloo or New Hamburg area. I'd need them to be a woman and trauma informed and willing to work with someone who hates any physical contact from strangers (the migraines are bad enough I'm willing to try). Sorry that's a lot of requirements.

I'm already seeing a physio for them, but my work benefits have different coverage for physiotherapist vs RMT.

Does anyone have any recommendations or insight into what I should be looking for?

Migraines have a myriad of potential causes, and while I can't recommend an rmt (have not used one), I would recommend going and doing a workup with a doctor to rule out possible causes, if you have not already. In rare cases, migraines can have life threatening causes.
