Lianne Wouda

RMT

Lianne graduated from the International Academy of Health Education in 2020. She always knew she wanted to work in the healthcare field, and her passion for massage therapy began at a young age when she was exploring ways to help her mother who was suffering from cancer. Her mother would joke about how Lianne should be a massage therapist one day, and little did they both know, she would be.

Philosophy

Today, Lianne is very dedicated to her clients, helping them manage chronic pain and achieve their goals with an evidence-based approach to treatment. She wants to investigate what is causing the pain and treat from that perspective as opposed to going through the motions. She is passionate about what she does and enjoys educating her clients with ways to manage pain and dysfunction through at-home care by utilizing exercise, stretching, and hydrotherapy between appointments.

Background

Lianne specializes in Swedish Massage, Myofascial Release, Trigger Point Release, and Deep Tissue Massage. She is also in the process of achieving additional certifications in Cupping and Guasha techniques.

In her spare time, Lianne likes listening to podcasts/audiobooks, spending time in nature, playing piano and dancing in her kitchen.
