Larissa has had a passion for massage therapy ever since pushing on her mother’s trigger points at age 6 to relieve her tension headaches. This passion developed more through high school when Larissa joined a competitive swim team and started taking training seriously. The intense workouts resulted in many sport related injuries which Larissa would treat by coaching her 12 year old sister through a “massage treatment”. Growing up in a third world country (Peru, South America) meant that alternative medicine of this form was not a popular option. Larissa, having experienced the benefits of this form of manual therapy, was determined to develop the art of aiding the body in the healing process. She wanted others to be able to experience the relief that massage therapy provided. This determination led her back to Canada where she attended the Canadian College of Massage and Hydrotherapy. It was here that Larissa’s fascination with science, human anatomy, as well as her desire to help people merged. She graduated with honours completing extensive hours of clinical practice and outreaches that put her in both sport and hospital settings. Larissa is a Registered Massage Therapist with College of Massage Therapists of Ontario and is proud to be joining the team at Peak Performance Health Centre.
