Maeyah Lawrence RMT
Hello, my name is Maeyah. I’ve been a practising RMT for over three years now and I’ve already gained so much from this profession. Since I began my training for this career I knew that this was the right thing for me. I love working with people in an intimate and wholistic sense.
I approach the treatment room with an ear for active listening, a grounded/regulated nervous system and a centered heart. Massage therapy is about more than manipulating physical tissue. I do my best to anchor in compassionate, healing energy in every service I offer. I am also skilled at providing deep, therapeutic pressure and techniques if that is needed. I find that marrying intuitive flow and therapeutic modalities has yielded very positive treatment outcomes. Have some tension in your neck that won’t let go? I got you. Or maybe you’re grieving, or going through some deep transformative period, or just plain exhausted. I’m here for all of it. Your feelings are welcome here. I’m here to offer some space holding, some physical relief from tension and some listening.
My treatment style involves myofascial (connective tissue) release, trigger point therapy, joint mobilizations, and passive stretching. All the while maintaining present focused, grounded awareness.
If this sounds like something you’re interested in or you feel like you could benefit from I would love to meet you.

RMT
I’m a fortunate guy in that I’m happy with my life, my wife and family, and my work. I try my best to spread that positivity and find massage therapy is a great outlet. Throughout my career, starting with graduation of the 3000hr RMT program in 2003 at WCCMT Victoria, I have gained valuable experience and insight working in both clinics as well as luxury spas. My clients will find me well rounded with a handy skillset. I love working with expecting moms and can accommodate both side-lying massage and face down using pregnancy pillows (depending on the grandness of your baby bump). I am also happy to work with athletes, the unfortunately injured, relaxation seekers, and those that are just generally wound tight from the rigours of work and life and in need of a thorough working over.
My style of massage varies with the therapeutic goals of my clients. I generally incorporate a variety of deep tissue, Swedish, range of motion, stretching, and fascial techniques (such as the CoAT method). To coax stress and tension from the body I will blend these into a strong, yet relaxing flow for a good full body overhaul. For more injury based treatments we will utilize whichever combination of techniques is appropriate. All treatments will be tailored to my client’s needs with a focus on educating and empowering them with exercises and home care to allow them to take better charge of their own health and wellness. As a bonus, my clients will also find me a great listener and conversationalist with a sense of humour, but also aware of the value of silence when they just want to zone out and relax. I see massage as a valuable tool for allowing one to get back in touch with their body and enter that blissfully healing state between sleep and consciousness - did you know you can actually snore face down while still being partially awake?? Indeed it is true…
Come visit and I’ll get you ironed out and on the right track :)

Jude Torchuk RMT
My desire to help others began with studying psychology and sociology, but it was after experiencing severe whiplash when I was 17 that I discovered the physical and emotional benefits of holistic health and massage therapy. After graduating from West Coast College of Massage Therapy in 1997, I deepened my knowledge of the musculoskeletal system and related structures by taking Neuromuscular Therapy, providing deeper and more specific work to the muscles and tendons.
While continuing with my post-graduate training and exploring other therapies for my own healing, I pursued my interests in Craniosacral Therapy and Lymphatic Drainage Therapy, learning the very techniques that contributed to my own healing.
My techniques and treatments include CranioSacral Therapy, Neuromuscular Therapy, Myofascial Release, Lymphatic Drainage Therapy, Unwinding & Positional Release.
I completed my Advanced Craniosacral Therapy with Upledger Institute in 2011. I have experience working with head trauma (concussion), neck injuries, whiplash, insomnia and an overstimulated nervous system, fatigue, anxiety, stress, headaches, and general overuse, pain and tension within the body. Providing a safe and compassionate space for my clients, I incorporate massage therapy skills with other techniques that enhance the body’s innate wisdom and natural ability to heal itself.
