Laura is a graduate of Sutherland-Chan School of Massage Therapy, where she gained experience working with a diverse range of clients, including athletes, stroke patients, and seniors. She has treated various conditions such as head and neck complications (whiplash, tension headaches, tinnitus), temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJD), thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS), and post-injury rehabilitation. A strong advocate for movement as a key to overall well-being, Laura understands the challenges and rewards of an active lifestyle firsthand. With a background in horseback riding, dance, and rock climbing, she quickly recognized the vital role manual therapy plays in both recovery and injury prevention. As a Registered Massage Therapist, Laura integrates rhythmic techniques, joint mobilizations, muscle energy techniques, and fascial work into a traditional Swedish massage approach, ensuring a comprehensive and holistic treatment. Before becoming an RMT, Laura trained in theatre; she continues to audition and perform when the occasion presents itself! Fluent in both English and French, she is happy to conduct appointments in either language.
