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 advanced 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 Cranialsacral seminars with the Upledger Institute and Visceral Manipulation with Barral Institute. Lori continues to seek courses that will complement her treatments, and keep her skills up to date. Lori is looking forward to attending the Myofascial Release Level 3 seminar in October 2024. Once completed she will be an Expert Level Myofascial Release Therapist. Lori is fluent in English and French.
