Team

Tara Hagan-Fields has been a Registered Massage Therapist since 2006. Branching from traditional Massage Therapy she has focused her practice on Myofascial Release and Fascial restrictions.  10 years in to her practice, she branched even further to create a space, safe for all healing; with a dream of creating a team of other like minded therapists trained in Myofascial Release Therapy focused on whole body healing.

Her passion lies within the Women’s Health field and NOW,  has been expanding in to Canine & Equine Myofascial Release Therapy.

She is an Expert-level therapist in the John F. Barnes Myofascial Release Approach™, where she not only treats patients but also assists in training other local and international therapists. She’s also trained in other forms of Myofascial Release Therapy and Structural Integration, allowing her to approach the body with a deep understanding of fascial systems and movement patterns. She has pursued specializing in the education in Women’s Health—covering areas such as pregnancy, doula support, breast health, chronic pelvic pain, Biotensegrity Medicine, and Visceral Manipulation. This diverse and integrative training has shaped her into the skilled, intuitive, and compassionate therapist she is today.

Tara encourages every client to be an active participant in their healing journey. She believes that awareness gives us choice—that by becoming present in your body and giving yourself permission to feel, you begin to unlock true healing. Past experiences and traumas often shape how we feel today, both physically and emotionally. Through presence and awareness, Tara helps guide clients toward releasing what no longer serves them—so they can move forward with greater freedom and connection.

Her practice employs a comprehensive, full-body approach to treatment, emphasizing the critical role of regular therapy in counteracting the demands of modern life, where self-care is often overlooked. She advocates for client engagement in self-care practices beyond the scope of their treatments.

These trainings have enhanced her practice, making client treatment feel even more intuitive.

Since beginning her career as a Registered Physiotherapist in 2001, Liza Fortier has been guided by one clear principle: to help as many people as possible regain their health, function, and confidence. With the mentorship of incredible role models early in her career, Liza quickly discovered that healing is not just about the body—it’s about listening, understanding, and meeting patients where they are.

Over the years, Liza expanded her skill set to incorporate powerful techniques such as John Barnes Myofascial Release (MFR) and Visceral Manipulation. These gentle yet profound therapies allowed her to treat the body in a more holistic, interconnected way—tackling not only symptoms, but the restrictions and imbalances at their root.

More recently, the voices of her female patients, colleagues, and friends led her to a pivotal realization: women’s health—especially when it comes to pelvic floor dysfunction, urinary incontinence, and pelvic pain—is often overlooked, misunderstood, or shrouded in silence.

This inspired a new chapter in her professional journey.

Liza pursued advanced education in Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy. By integrating her expertise in Myofascial Release with evidence-based pelvic health techniques, she developed a unique approach that is both gentle and deeply effective. What makes Liza’s work truly transformative is the combination of techniques and empathy she brings into each session. Through thorough assessment, hands-on treatment, and a strong emphasis on patient education, Liza helps to bring the right care to these patients where these issues can be reversed or significantly improved.

She believes that open conversations, professional guidance, and compassionate care can change the narrative around women’s health—and restore a sense of dignity, independence, and confidence to those who’ve been suffering quietly for far too long.

Liza is fluent in English and French.

• Pelvic or Sacral Pain – sciatica, imbalances, dysfunction, trauma, post partum, etc

• Urinary Incontinence – secondary to child birth, aging, trauma, surgery or unexplained

• Abdominal Pain – endometriosis, adhesions, surgical etc

• Back or Neck Pain – chronic postural strain
