Laura Nelson
Reiki Master -Usui Method (Since 1983)
Laura Nelson is a dedicated Usui Reiki Master Practitioner with over four decades of experience in holistic, hands-on energetic support. Since 1983, she has been offering Reiki sessions to individuals both locally and internationally, supporting clients through a wide range of physical, emotional, and life challenges.
Over the years, Laura has worked with individuals navigating stress, anxiety, depression, addiction recovery, trauma, and the lasting effects of abuse and assault. She has also provided gentle, supportive care in integrative and palliative settings, working alongside individuals living with serious or chronic illness, including those undergoing chemotherapy and those living with conditions such as ALS, as well as supporting their families through difficult transitions.
Laura’s approach is grounded in creating a calm, safe, and restorative environment where the nervous system can naturally settle. Clients often report a deep sense of grounding, emotional ease, and inner calm following sessions. Her work focuses on supporting the body’s ability to relax, release tension, and return to balance through deep nervous system regulation.
Known for her compassionate presence and steady energy, Laura has built a reputation for helping clients feel supported, centered, and more at ease in both body and mind.
Her intention is simple: to help individuals reconnect with a sense of stability, calm, and overall well-being through gentle, non-invasive Reiki support.
Reiki is a complementary practice and is not a substitute for medical or psychological treatment.

Maria Gracia Florendo
I’ve been a Registered Massage Therapist since 2013 and have extensive training in both therapeutic and relaxation massage, including myofascial release and FRR technique (Functional Range Release).
I focus on working together with clients to achieve their goals, which can include pain relief, increased movement and mobility, stress relief, and decreased tension. Believing that no one should ever live in pain, I educate my clients in body mechanics and postural assessments and provide exercises and techniques to help maintain a healthy and pain-free lifestyle.
My past practice experiences include working at the Four Seasons Toronto Spa for 8 years and Myodetox for 5 years before having my son and moving up north in 2018. I am occasionally back in Toronto and very excited about it! I look forward to meeting you all.
My name is Maria, but everyone calls me Gracia!

Hidemi Okawa
As a Registered Massage Therapist, my goal is not only to treat but also to educate and empower my clients — helping them live healthier, more balanced lives.
I graduated from the Sutherland-Chan School of Massage Therapy and have been practicing as an RMT since 2014. Over the years, I spent seven years at the Four Seasons Toronto Spa, refining my skills in luxury wellness, and have also worked in multidisciplinary clinical settings alongside triathletes and active individuals.
I specialize in customizing every treatment to meet the unique needs of each client. Depending on your goals, I may incorporate techniques such as assisted stretching, muscle scraping, or massage gun therapy to support recovery and performance. At other times, the focus is on deep decompression — calming the nervous system and creating profound relaxation for the body, mind, and soul.
I am incredibly grateful for the clients I’ve met and for the fulfillment and joy this career has brought into my life. It is an honor to support others on their wellness journey.
If you’re looking for a positive, energetic, and caring Registered Massage Therapist, I would love to connect and help you restore, rebalance, and revitalize your body.
