Fall is upon us.

Take care of yourselves.

Laurence is an RMT with a special interest in stress reduction, TMJ, and neck and shoulder pain and tension, and has experience with conditions such as EDS, fibromyalgia, chronic pain, and Thoracic-outlet Syndrome, as well as tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and sports injuries. Laurence works with patients to create a customized treatment to suit their unique needs and to help them to develop the tools to maintain their health between sessions. Utilizing a wide variety of techniques, including myofascial, deep tissue, and active release.

Laurence’s goal is for his patients to leave feeling not just physically better, but also an active and informed collaborator in caring for their body and health. He believe’s in patient-centred care, which means putting my patient’s comfort and safety first.

Laurence decided to become an RMT for two primary reasons: first, because he realized that there were many people in his community (especially those who are queer and/or disabled) who were unhappy with their healthcare, feeling that their concerns were often dismissed and that their needs weren’t being met. Second, he has always wanted to be a healer in some capacity, and takes deep personal satisfaction in being able to help others hands-on and be an integral part of improving their quality of life.

What does his process look like? When he first meets with a patient, you’ll spend some time discussing concerns and general health. Then, perform some assessments, which can include special tests, range of motion, palpation (feeling the muscle tone, finding tender spots, etc.), and so on. Once he has all the information he needs, you’ll discuss what treatment would be most effective, integrating patient requests and any accommodations. Laurence will check in often with the patient during treatment, and adjust the treatment as required. Afterwards, you’ll discuss how the patient found the treatment, how they feel, perform any necessary re-assessment, and go over home-care that will help the patient between sessions.

Laurence looks forward to meeting you, and working with you to achieve your health goals!

I work with people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from their emotional world, especially those navigating grief, relationship challenges, or major life transitions. Many clients come in feeling like something inside them isn’t matching the life they’re living: emotions they can’t quite name, patterns they can’t seem to shift, or a sense that they’ve lost touch with themselves. My role is to offer a steady, grounded space where they can slow down, reflect, and understand what’s really happening underneath the surface.

My approach is relational, thoughtful, and collaborative. We explore the stories you’ve learned about yourself, the expectations you carry, and the protective strategies you’ve developed along the way. Instead of chasing quick fixes, we pay attention to emotional signals, recurring patterns, and the deeper needs or meanings that shape your experience. Sessions often feel spacious and reflective, an opportunity to make sense of your internal world in a way that feels coherent and self-directed.

People who work with me often leave with more clarity, emotional literacy, and self-trust. They develop a stronger ability to regulate difficult feelings, navigate conflict, and approach relationships with more intention. Over time, clients describe feeling more grounded and aligned with their own values, less driven by fear or reaction, and more guided by an understanding of who they are and what they actually need. I’m currently completing my practicum hours toward registration, and I bring a mix of formal training, lived experience, and a natural aptitude for deep listening and working with complexity.

Sarah sees her clients as the expert of their lives and experiences, and sees her role as a support, catalyst, guide and companion in her client’s process. She offers the courage to swim in deep waters and cherishes the uniqueness of everyone’s journey.

Sarah works with those who wish to no longer be limited by the patterning, conditioning, stories, triggers, attachment styles and past hurts that have been interfering with who and how you want to be. She uses intuition to create a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore, heal and grow so you can live your preferred expression of self.

Sarah’s approach is Person Centred and draws from several different theories and modalities including attachment and family systems therapy, which focuses on the impact of our relational attachments, including caregivers and other primary attachment figures. Existential therapy which focuses on embracing the human condition, facing anxieties and discovering the freedom to choose how to live our lives with autonomy in any direction we choose. She also integrates our current understanding of neuroscience and uses tools from art therapy to assist the therapeutic process.
