Lotus graduated from the Canadian College of Massage and Hydrotherapy in 2004. For the next 20 years she practiced in physiotherapy, athletic and wellness clinics, with a special focus on women’s perinatal healthcare. Throughout her years of practice, Lotus has continued to enhance her skills with extensive training in advanced courses, including neurological and visceral studies. In 2023, she brought her vast experience and knowledge to join the team at Bellesmere Massage Therapy.
For many years, Lotus suffered personally with jaw pain (TMJ dysfunction), headaches and concussion symptoms that conventional therapies were unable to treat effectively. She finally received relief from clinicians who worked with the body in a more integrative way. This was life changing for her! The experience made her want to assist others who feel stuck, unheard or lost in the system that she once found herself in. She is now committed to sharing her knowledge to help support others in their healing process.
Lotus has taken a variety of specialized training courses, including scar tissue treatment, perinatal care, brain injury recovery and jaw pain / TMJ dysfunction. With a deep understanding of the body’s intricate systems, Lotus integrates a holistic approach to healing, using targeted therapeutic techniques designed to support through recovery, pain management and wellness. Her treatments are tailored to the specific needs of each and every individual. She works with both deep tissue and lighter therapeutic techniques. Lotus has experience working with extreme pain conditions, where calming of the ANS (Autonomic Nervous System) is necessary in order to facilitate the effectiveness of other therapies.
Whether you are healing from an injury, navigating the challenges of pregnancy or seeking relief from TMJ, Lotus offers personalized, experienced care that addresses both the physical and emotional aspects of healing.
