Lori Trautmanis is a Registered Massage Therapist where she earned her diploma from Algonquin College in 2006. Lori has begun to expand her skill set from traditional Massage Therapy and focus more on Myofascial Release. Since being introduced to the John F. Barnes Myofascial Release Approach, she is currently an intermediate level therapist. Lori uses a full-body approach to treatment using the foundational skills taught by John F. Barnes. She strongly believes regular treatment is essential in helping people slow down in our fast-paced society, where self-care seems to take a backseat, and promotes the importance for clients to be active in their self-care outside of their treatments. Lori has also completed the Barefoot Training Specialist Level 1 Certification with Podiatrist Dr. Emily Splichal. Her methodology teaches barefoot science, foot to core integration, and sensory integration. Lori continues to seek courses that will complement her treatments, and keep her skills up to date.
