Wellness Services
At Serpentine Studios, we believe in a holistic, preventative approach to health care. We live in a sedentary society where many of us are required to sit for long periods of time, and/or perform repetitive motions throughout the day. This can lead to dysfunction, pain, and disease. Regular, frequent movement is extremely important to counteract this problem, as is getting treatment as soon as (or before!) discomfort arises. Visit our treatment room for a massage or an infrared sauna session and make your health a priority!

Massage Therapy benefits include:

  • Speeds healthy injury recovery
  • Relief from stress and anxiety
  • Relaxes stiff, tightened muscles
  • Releases toxins in muscle tissue
  • Improves circulation and speeds healing
  • Increases mobility in restricting scar tissue
  • Eases and loosens contractured joints
  • Increases flexibility and range of motion
  • Restores proper posture by correcting muscle imbalances
  • Results in an overall an increase in energy


    Jade Stone Massage Nephrite jade stones are used as a tool in a therapeutic massage to heat and soothe, making deep tissue work more comfortable. Hot and cold stones can be alternated for a flushing effect, improving circulation to the affected area. The stones promote relaxation and reduce inflammation, combining the deeply relaxing effect of a traditional hot stone massage with the effectiveness of a deep tissue therapeutic treatment.


    Infrared Saunas use natural infrared waves which penetrate directly into your muscles and tissues, as opposed to a traditional sauna which heats the air. Because of this it is effective at a lower temperature so you can comfortably stay in longer, increasing the benefits. Your blood circulation and heart rate are increased, and your body sweats and burns calories. The potential benefits of an infrared sauna are:

  • Relieves tight muscles and reduces stress
  • Causes weight loss and helps treat cellulite
  • Improves your immune system
  • Helps cure some skin diseases like eczema, psoriasis and acne
  • Strengthens the cardiovascular system
  • Detoxifies your body
  • Increases your energy levels
  • Relieves pain (joint pain, sore muscles, arthritis)


    And of course, Dance and Fitness are a key ingredient to your health and happiness; encouraging healthy joint mobility, increased circulation, flexibility and strength, as well as relieving stress and lifting your mood. Getting your heart rate up, stretching and strengthening the body, and learning a beautiful art form are just a few of the benefits our classes offer.





    • Laura Newton, RMT
    As a graduate of the renowned Sutherland-Chan School and Teaching Clinic in Toronto, I have helped clients from many different backgrounds including athletes, dancers, pregnant women, seniors, and your everyday workaholic. Fascinated with the body and how it works, I aim to find the root cause of your discomfort and work with you to create the best treatment plan to get you back on track.

    As a dance artist and teacher, I discovered massage therapy though my interest in keeping myself and my students injury-free, healthy and at their best. I found that massage was an excellent way to holistically treat the body and encourage proper body mechanics and posture, healing and preventing injuries. Massage is also a great stress reliever, which is a huge factor in our health and happiness. It also strengthens body awareness, and I believe the most important concept in health care is to educate people about their bodies, empowering them to get involved in their own health.

    Trained in Swedish aka Therapeutic Massage, I use techniques such as myofascial release, deep tissue, trigger point therapy, muscle release and joint mobilizations to correct soft-tissue imbalances and release tension. Read more about massage therapy on my website.
