Louise Drinnan, RMT

Louise has been interested in massage since high school but went the esthetics and administrative route first. Not feeling fulfilled, she decided to pursue her dream of becoming a Massage Therapist. She graduated in 2013 with 2200 hours of training. She joined us at The Wellness Studio in 2014!

Louise is trained in relaxation, therapeutic, craniosacral , juvenile and therapeutic breast massage. Her latest modality is lymphatic drainage. She is amazed at how effective and powerful this gentle therapy is!

Louise is constantly amazed by the human body and the healing benefits of massage. She loves that she gets to have a direct hand in helping people feel better, and tries to look at each person as a puzzle and figure out how to make the puzzle fit together better.

Louise was born and raised here in Calgary and when not at work, you will usually find her with family and friends.

Lori Weldon is a licensed and registered Massage Therapist with the Alberta Massage Therapist and Holistic Practitioners Association.

Originally from Prince George B.C Lori came to Calgary in the late 1980’s to attend at the University of Calgary where she received her degree in kinesiology. Her intention was to become a high school physical education teacher and outdoor education instructor, however at the end of her degree she realized she wanted to work hands on with muscle skeletal issues.

She loves working as a massage therapist and has been in practice for 24 years.

Her practice mainly focuses on deep tissue therapy which is more than just working on muscles. She has a strong belief in looking at the structural integrity of the body as a whole. Lori’s treatments vary from patient to patient because she works from an intuitive place which guides the direction of her treatments. As mentioned before, she not only works with soft tissue but also works with the bones, fascia, and the function of the joints. Lori is trained in myofascial release and zero balancing which is a bone energy technique. She likes to use many techniques and different modalities depending on the need of the client. In her spare time Lori loves to do anything outdoors especially mountain biking!
