I also value patient education—it’s an important part of helping you feel empowered and in control of your own health.

I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide range of patients, including seniors, athletes, healthcare professionals, and individuals recovering from motor vehicle accidents. No matter your needs, I’m here to support your journey to feeling your best.

Areas of Expertise:

  • Myofascial Release

Laura is currently completing her RMT diploma at the one of the top massage therapy schools in Canada: the West Coast College of Massage Therapy. She’s looking excitedly to the near future when she gets to practice full-time.

She was drawn to the profession by a calling to further her interests in overall wellness and to help others live a life of ability, recovery, and health. She loves a good mind-puzzle, and working out the root cause of a body/pain issue to eliminate the residual symptoms is her favourite to tackle!

Laura loves to be active outdoors and has extensive experience in both traditional Body Building and CrossFit: she also, however, is accident prone and has overcome significant personal health issues. As such, Laura brings to the table a lot of compassion, understanding, and a strong desire to help empower and assist her clients on their journey/goals.
