Lana Henry graduated from Okanagan Valley College of Massage Therapy with a 3 year Massage Therapy Diploma. She was registered in the province of British Columbia and has been practicing under the Health Professionals Act since 2003. Lana's life long passion for massage therapy began at an early age when she was diagnosed and treated for scoliosis, curvature of the spine. Massage Therapy benefited Lana in many ways, it brought relief for muscle spasms and postural imbalances and taught her about body and postural awareness through her adolescent years. The experience of receiving and benefiting from massage lead Lana to her choice of profession, to help others improve their quality of life and educate them in better body and health choices.

Lana has furthered her studies in core stabilization, osteopathy, craniosacral therapy, muscle energy techniques and myofascial release techniques. She has ambitions to continue her learning in alternative therapies to broaden her approach of treatment with her clients. She strives for an active lifestyle and enjoys the healing space the great outdoors has to offer. Lana is warm, encouraging and tactful. Her goal is to facilitate and empower her clients to have an active role in their health and improve their quality of life.
