Lori Trautmanis

My name is Lori Trautmanis, and I have been a Registered Massage Therapist since 2006. I am most passionate about helping people. I love working with clients to help them alleviate their pain – from sports injuries to everyday ailments such as repetitive injuries in the workplace – or to help clients manage stress.

A few years ago, I decided to expand my skill set from traditional Massage Therapy and focus more on Myofascial Release using the John F. Barnes Myofascial Release Approach, where I am currently an intermediate level therapist.

I use a full-body approach to treatment using the foundational skills taught by John F. Barnes. Addressing the root cause of the problem is more beneficial than solely treating the symptoms.

Combining JFB myofascial release techniques with traditional massage therapy techniques, that may also include cupping, allows me to provide a unique and effective approach to treatment.

I strongly believe regular treatment is essential in helping people slow down in our fast-paced society, where self-care seems to take a backseat. It is important for clients to be active in their self-care outside of their regular massage therapy treatments. By being invested in taking care of their body, they will be able to maintain an active lifestyle with much greater ease.

I have 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. I continue to seek courses that will complement my treatments, and keep my skills up to date.

When not in the clinic I enjoy working out, reading, and hiking. I am passionate about travelling and learning about different cultures, and love sharing my experience of my time spent in New Zealand for 2 years.
