  • Therapeutic Massage Review

    Having been sore all over and having years of accumulated pain from trauma and self inflicted pain from not tending to my own needs, Laurie helped me realize that the pain I was feeling was not something I needed to live with. Tension Hunter…she really found the tension and sniped it out of me. The amount of additional circulation I felt post massage was like no other feeling. She’s one of the most understanding human beings I have crossed paths with and has helped me tremendously.

  • Concussion Massage Review

    Highly recommend! I had a head on collision that resulted in a concussion. I saw Laurie for treatments, and she went over and above by writing me an at home vitamin regime to speed up my concussion recovery. Months later I saw my naturopath and she was shocked when I mentioned I was in a head-on collision. She mentioned my brain and body was fully recovered by the treatments and vitamins Laurie recommended. I feel so blessed to have found someone so amazing in her field.

  • Athletic Massage Review

    Before visiting The Tension Hunter for the first time, I had a reoccurring hip and knee running injury. I was regularly working with a massage therapist, a chiropractor, and a physiotherapist to solve the issue. A friend recommended. The Tension Hunter and she was able to find the issue and resolve it in a few visits! She can find the exact pain point and quickly finds a way to relieve it. I recommend her for any sports injury. She has a gift, and I am very happy with her work!

  • Stress Relief Review

    I’m thankful for Laurie’s healing powers. Between working full time and being a mom, I don’t often make time for self-care. After decades of sitting for 8 hrs a day, I go see her for back and neck pains and she gets me to feel great very quickly. Laurie is a very caring person who happens to be great at her work. If you’re looking for someone who isn’t just talented, but also in touch with your needs and what care is best for you.

  • Oncology Massage Review

    Laurie had done wonders for my body, mind, and spirit. She was my first teacher and healer during my breast cancer journey. I am grateful for her work and knowledge. After my mastectomy she helped my body release a lot of tension and pain it was carrying. She also helped me see how I was showing up in the world. She brought awareness that it was time for me to let go of the victim mentality. That I NEEDED to hear it and that also helped my body release the pain it was carrying. It was my wake-up call to start letting go. My energy shifted thanks to her brave and courageous words. She has helped me in many ways. My way of living changed with her help.

  • Deep Tissue Massage Review

    A massage with Laurie is like an iron fist in a velvet glove. The massage is sometime a little painful but she is able to talk me through with compassion, respect and understanding. It is always a healing session as much physically as spiritually.
