Cindy has been working as a registered massage therapist for over 28 years.

Throughout her career, she has worked at a variety of massage therapy clinics, but it was always her goal to own her own clinic. She opened a massage therapy clinic in 1999 which she owned and operated for over 13 years. After starting a family, she wanted to focus on her children and decided it was time to sell her business and work part-time which she has done ever since.

Cindy believes that stress is very detrimental to the body and mind, which is why her treatments are not only therapeutic but also relaxing in nature. Cindy has a passion for healthy eating and exercise and believes that these things are also very important to help to heal the body.

Cindy devotes a lot of time to physical and mental health. She enjoys playing ball hockey, doing yoga, spinning, hill climbing, and spending time in nature.

Laura Mazier graduated with a Bachelor in Human Kinetics from the University of Ottawa and obtained her personal training certification through the Canadian Society of Exercise Physiology upon graduation. Shortly after, she obtained her diploma in Pedorthics from the University of Western Ontario.
