Lyrica Lawrence
(She/Her/Hers) RMT

Lyrica has been an RMT since 2008 and studied at West Coast College of Massage Therapy in Victoria, completing the 3000 hour program.

Lyrica believes that all bodies are an amazing work of art. She has witnessed the resiliency the human body is capable of and wants to create a safe encouraging environment for her patients to heal. Her areas of special interest are in working with surgical scars, breast/chest health and child bearing individuals, especially during pregnancy or postpartum.

Pregnancy, birth and postpartum are an amazing and intense thing for a body to go through and Lyrica would like to provide support to those individuals going through all those changes so rapidly. Her capacity for empathy for what parents and especially birthing parents go through has only grown since becoming a mother herself.

Lyrica really cares about creating a safe place for her patients in treatment. People of all races, gender identity, sexual orientation, and religions welcome.

About Breast/Chest treatments.

Lyrica loves working with surgical scar tissue and has done further training to be better able to work with people who have undergone, or in preparation to undergo, breast or chest surgery. The breasts can be a highly sensitive area, both physically and emotionally, but is far too often neglected which can have dire consequences on someone’s physical and emotional well-being.

Katie Littlejohn
(She/Her/Hers) RMT

Katie started her massage therapy career in 2008, and brings to Wild Coast Wellness a wide range of experience to benefit her clients.

Katie’s practice is focused in pregnancy, postnatal care including c-section scar rehabilitation, breast/chest care and pelvic pain. As a mother herself, she understands the need for massage therapy during the childbearing years.

Every client is unique and Katie understands this, utilizing treatments to address each patient’s particular needs. She creates a treatment plan and home care regime with the patient that will cater to each individual’s needs, whether it is rehabilitation, prevention or maintenance.

Katie is continuously learning about evidence based approaches to pain. Her treatment approach is to create an environment for the body to heal itself through positive manual therapy and to promote self efficacy.

Patient centred care is important.

Katie graduated from the 3000 hour massage therapy program at the Victoria campus of West Coast College of Massage Therapy in 2007 and is a self proclaimed life-long learner. She can often be found watching a webinar or attending a course!
