Meet the Business Owner: Laura B.
Laura Benes is a registered massage therapist from Ottawa, Ontario. She was drawn to Nelson for it's beauty and the great people who gravitate to this town. Laura first experienced salt therapy in Ottawa. She was immediately hooked by the way the salt room felt. It seemed to clear stress and cluttered energy, the same way salt cleans and purifies the physical body.
As a massage therapist, Laura has many clients who experience painful conditions due to inflammation, like arthritis. She was very excited to see people getting relief for their inflammatory, respiratory and skin conditions with a natural healthy therapy!
Laura is most excited by how easy it is to relax and connect with the body and energy. A perfect place to gather, heal, meditate, practice reiki, sound healing and other alternate therapies.
