Laura Newton
Registered Massage Therapist

Fascinated with the body and how it works, I aim to find the root cause of your discomfort and work with you to create the best treatment plan to get you back on track. As a graduate of the renowned Sutherland-Chan School and Teaching Clinic in Toronto, I have helped clients from many different backgrounds including athletes, dancers, pregnant women, seniors, and your everyday workaholic.

As a dance artist and teacher, I discovered massage therapy though my interest in keeping myself and my students safe, healthy and at their best. I found that massage was an excellent way to holistically treat the body and encourage proper body mechanics and posture, healing and preventing injuries. Massage is also a great stress reliever, which is a huge factor in our health and happiness. I believe the most important concept in health care is to educate people about their bodies, empowering them to get involved in their own health.

Trained in therapeutic massage with a special interest in posture and alignment, I use techniques such as myofascial release, deep tissue, trigger point therapy and joint mobilizations to correct soft-tissue imbalances and release tension. Read more about how massage works here.

Jade Stone Massage
Smooth nephrite jade stones are used as a tool to heat and soothe in either a relaxation or deep tissue massage. Hot and cold stones can be alternated for a flushing effect, improving circulation to the affected area. The stones promote relaxation and reduce inflammation, combining the deeply relaxing effect of a traditional hot stone massage with the effectiveness of a deep tissue therapeutic treatment.
