Julie Carr
Julie began her journey as a competitive gymnast and air cadet in high school. An avid weightlifter, she was awarded a military athletic scholarship, which led to her joining the Canadian military and beginning martial arts training. She later left the military and became a professional personal trainer for many years, transitioning from powerlifting to Pilates.
After the birth of her daughter in 2007, she began studying acupressure, which soon led her to acupuncture. Having personally recovered from both physical and mental injury, Julie brings deep empathy and an understanding of the uniqueness of each individualâs healing journey.
Taoists say there are as many paths as there are people. Julie believes acupuncture is a longstanding systemâdeep, wide, and constantly evolving. She is honoured to be in a position to help others discover just how much better they can feel.

Laura Poirier-Colombi
With over 10 years of experience in massage therapy, I graduated from Kiné-Concept & Guijek College in 2011, where I received training and certification in Kinetic Swedish Massage, Seiki Shoho, and Chair Massage.
Throughout my career, I have worked in a variety of multidisciplinary clinics, hotels, and spas internationally, gaining extensive experience working with clients from diverse backgrounds and with a wide range of therapeutic and wellness needs.
My treatment approach integrates Swedish therapeutic massage, relaxation massage, Seiki Shoho acupressure, and Thai massage techniques. Each session is thoughtfully tailored to the individual, with a focus on addressing specific areas of tension, improving mobility, promoting relaxation, and supporting overall well-being.
I take a holistic and client-centered approach, beginning each treatment by listening carefully to the clientâs concerns, lifestyle, and treatment goals. I combine biomechanical awareness with hands-on therapeutic techniques to develop a personalized treatment approach and monitor progress over time.
I believe that effective massage therapy goes beyond the treatment itself. I provide attentive follow-up and practical recommendations to help clients better understand their bodies and support their progress between sessions.
My goal is to create a professional, welcoming, and comfortable environment where every client feels heard and cared for. Whether the goal is therapeutic relief, muscular relaxation, improved mobility, or simply taking time to recharge, I strive to ensure every client leaves feeling better than when they arrived.
