About
Lauren grew up on the North Shore, where she developed a love for the outdoors, particularly rock climbing in Squamish and in the local gyms. She decided to be a massage therapist after a brief stint in nursing school, realizing she wanted to take a more holistic approach to health.
In her free time, she loves rock climbing, weightlifting, and being outdoors whenever she can.
Why she became a RMT
Lauren learned about the benefits of a well rounded approach to health in 2020. She benefited from manual therapy after many rock climbing injuries and noticed how helpful both relaxation and therapeutic massages can be in recovery and maintenance.
