Hi, I’m Lana, Registered Massage Therapist and founder of True Me Massage.
For much of my adult life, I’ve been dedicated to supporting the well-being of others through my work, my family, and my community. Along the way, I learned something that changed my own life: we can’t continue to care for others if we never make time to care for ourselves.
That realization led me to look at wellness differently.
Today, you’ll often find me exploring Alberta’s mountains and forests, running local trails and pathways, hiking with a backpack, paddleboarding on a quiet lake, relaxing in a sauna, or planning my next travel adventure. Nature has become the place where I slow down, recharge, and reconnect with myself, and it continues to shape how I approach health and well-being.
Massage therapy became a natural extension of that journey.
My approach to care is rooted in the understanding that our physical, mental, and emotional well-being are deeply connected. The body carries stress, resilience, joy, grief, recovery, and renewal, and each of these experiences can influence how we move, rest, and feel every day. While massage therapy can’t solve every challenge we face, it can create an opportunity to slow down, reconnect with our bodies, and support healing in meaningful ways.
My educational background has also shaped this perspective. I hold a Bachelor of Arts with Distinction in Psychology from the University of Alberta, a Master’s Degree in Disability and Community Studies from the University of Calgary, and a 2200-hour Massage Therapy Diploma from Vicars School of Massage Therapy. Together, these experiences have given me a deep appreciation for the many factors that influence health, resilience, and quality of life.
Whether you’re living with persistent pain, recovering from the physical demands of everyday life or a recent injury, looking to calm a busy nervous system, or simply wanting an hour to rest and recharge, my goal is to create a space where you feel safe, respected, and cared for.
I believe everyone deserves to experience the benefits of compassionate, therapeutic touch in an environment where they can simply be themselves. My hope is that every client leaves feeling a little lighter, a little calmer, and a little more connected to themselves than when they arrived.
Welcome to True Me Massage. I’m so glad you’re here.
