Thrive Massage Therapy & Wellness

ICYMI 😊 We are thrilled that Nola Reynolds, RMT, will be staying on with us at Thrive!

“I have been in the health and fitness industry since 1997 when I first became a certified Spinning instructor. I realized how much being fit improved my health and well being and I became committed to continuing along the path of health and wellness.

I became a personal trainer in 2001, and soon started referring clients for massage. It was obvious how much good nutrition and massage enhanced my clients‘ health as well as enhanced their fitness programmes. I knew that I could help my clients further with their health goals so I continued along that path and became Holistic Life Coach in 2006 and Registered Massage Therapist in 2008.

I am committed to helping others become more vital with massage, and I consider myself fortunate to have been able to work with so many people to help them with this”

Please give her a warm Thrive welcome 💜💚

ICYMI 🤗 We are so pleased to welcome Penny Luther - RMT to our clinic!

Although newly registered, massage has been an integral part of Penny’s life for as long as she can remember—it truly feels like an extension of who she is. She has a special interest in prenatal and postpartum massage therapy, as well as supporting clients recovering from injuries by helping them manage pain, improve mobility, and return to the activities they love. Please join us in welcoming her to the Thrive community!

“Hi, I’m Penny, a Registered Massage Therapist with a deep, lifelong connection to the healing touch. I grew up in an Indian household where massage was more than a therapy— it was a tradition of care, bonding, and wellness. I still remember watching my grandmother massage the newborns in our family, and later teaching me how to gently massage my own children. Those moments shaped me and grounded me in a kind of healing that feels both natural and meaningful.
Massage has always come intuitively to me. It is the one career where I feel completely at home—where my hands, my heart, and my purpose align. I truly believe I wouldn’t love or excel at anything the way I do massage therapy. This work brings me joy, fulfillment, and a sense of accomplishment every time I help someone feel supported, relieved, or simply able to breathe a little easier.
My treatments are fully tailored to each individual. I care for every client with the same gentleness and attention I would want for myself when I’m experiencing pain, discomfort, or stress. My goal is always to create a safe, comfortable space where people feel heard, respected, and cared for—whether they’re seeking relaxation, pain relief, or long-term support.
When I’m not massaging, I love spending time with my children, making crafts together, enjoying good movies, and exploring natural skincare and home remedies. These simple joys keep me grounded, creative, and inspired.
I am grateful to do what I love, and it’s an honour every time someone chooses me to be part of their wellness journey.”
