Get to know Laurence, RMT at Eleven Arrows 🌿⁠
⁠
Laurence joined Eleven Arrows with a desire to help people feel genuinely supported in their healthcare journey. As a Registered Massage Therapist, he believes that effective treatment starts with listening, understanding each person's unique experiences, and creating a plan that works for their individual needs and goals.⁠
⁠
Laurence has experience supporting clients with a wide range of concerns, including chronic pain, fibromyalgia, EDS, tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, sports injuries, and Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. He also has a special interest in helping those experiencing stress, TMJ dysfunction, and neck and shoulder tension.⁠
⁠
One of the things that makes Laurence's approach unique is his commitment to collaborative care. From your first appointment, he'll take the time to learn about your health history, discuss your concerns, perform assessments, and work with you to determine the best treatment approach. Throughout each session, he checks in regularly and adapts treatment as needed, ensuring you feel comfortable, informed, and involved every step of the way.⁠
⁠
If you're looking for thoughtful, personalized care, Laurence is currently accepting new clients and often has same week availability.⁠ Visit our website to book an appointment.

We’re so grateful for your kind words!

It means a lot to know you felt supported, especially when you needed it most.

Paul brings a grounded, attentive approach to every session, giving his clients his full mental and physical focus from start to finish. He genuinely cares about the whole person, not just the area of tension.⁠
⁠
As a constant learner, Paul is always expanding his knowledge and evolving his practice to better support the people he works with. He understands that everyone’s needs are different, and will always guide clients toward the care that’s right for them, even if that means connecting them with other professionals.⁠
⁠
Massage therapy has had a meaningful impact on Paul’s own life, shaping the way he shows up with empathy, awareness, and a deep respect for the body.⁠
⁠
He has an easygoing, welcoming nature that helps people feel comfortable right away, and works confidently with a wide range of concerns. His areas of interest include jaw tension, headaches, postural support, and hip and pelvic concerns.⁠

Real change doesn’t usually happen in one session.⁠
⁠
Our counselling packages are designed to support consistency, so you have the space to go deeper, feel supported, and actually move through what’s coming up.⁠
⁠
If you’re ready to commit to yourself in a more intentional way, this is a good place to begin.⁠

Supporting your mental health doesn’t have to be overwhelming.⁠
⁠
It’s often in the small, everyday choices, the ones that help you feel a little more steady, a little more grounded, a little more like yourself.⁠
⁠
Not all at once, not perfectly, just consistently enough to make a difference.

Picture this... You book a massage or counselling session at Eleven Arrows.⁠
You take the time to slow down, release, or talk things through⁠.⁠
⁠
And then… one full hour in the infrared sauna, all to yourself⁠.⁠
⁠
A quiet space to sit, process, and let your body settle before stepping back into your day⁠.⁠
⁠
Sometimes it’s not just about the session, it’s about how you give yourself time to come back to yourself after⁠.

Behind the scenes at Eleven Arrows 👀
⁠
A lot of it looks like this. Laundry, resetting rooms, getting things ready for the next session.⁠
⁠
⁠Not the most exciting part of the day, but sometimes the quiet little reset in between is exactly what you need.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month ☀️⁠
⁠
Not everything you’re carrying is visible.⁠
And not everything needs to be pushed through.⁠
⁠
Take that walk, even if it’s just a few minutes.⁠
Call the person you’ve been thinking about.⁠
Step outside, slow down, let your body catch up to you.⁠
⁠
Take care of yourself in small, real ways. The kind that don’t look impressive, but actually help.⁠
⁠
And be a little kinder to yourself in the moments no one else sees.⁠

That’s usually where it matters most.⁠
