Registered Massage Therapist

For Lorie, Massage Therapy is a profession that helps and cares for people, similar to a caregiver job. The main purpose of massage for her is to help our clients achieve a better quality of life as one of the many benefits of regular Massage. One fun trivia about her is that she loves singing at the church even though she doesn't have a good singing voice. (As she claims but we’re sure she can sing and is just being humble. :-) ) Her hobbies are cooking, cleaning. gardening. reading, and walking.

The most rewarding part of being a Massage Therapist for Lorie is when her client tells her after massage that they are feeling better, they can move, pain is gone, or a simple thank you. " All of these satisfying words make me smile and happy.” Her favorite quote is "Behind the clouds is the sun still shining.” by Abraham Lincoln. Lorie is a caring person with a very positive outlook that will make clients leave the clinic with the most satisfied smile.
