My Background
My name is Larissa and I would like to take the opportunity to introduce myself, and where I come from. I am Australian born and raised and but have been living at Whitley Lake for almost 4 years now.
I have always been passionate about health and sport. For many years this manifested through my involvement with competitive rowing. While I grew as an athlete, my interest in health, well-being and the mechanics of movement became central. It was during these years as a competitive athlete that I found my passion for Remedial Massage. I attained my Diploma of Remedial Massage from the Australian College of Massage (ACM) in 2013, and immediately dove into the professional industry. While working, my interest in beauty therapies was piqued and I decided to gain further qualifications completing a Diploma of Beauty Therapy with Bellevue Beauty Academy in 2014. I have also completed other complementary short courses to help me improve my treatments and experience including a
Certificate II in Hairdressing at TAFE Queensland and a Certificate III in Fitness at the Queensland Academy of Fitness. My most recent studies were a Kahuna Level 1&2 Massage course.
.
I have mainly worked at Hands in Harmony in Townsville (Australia) and at Aquarius Health & Day Spa in (Brisbane).
My move to Canada was for family reasons and with the beautiful location of Whitley Lake I couldn't resist the opportunity to share this piece of heaven where I now live.
My reputation has been built on attention to detail, and friendly service in a warm, welcoming environment. I recognise my clients are all unique and so any/all treatments will be tailed to suit your needs - your skin and you as an individual. I strive to excel to not only meet, but exceed your expectations.
I have done many weddings including hair or make up. I absolutely love making everyone feel a million dollars on there big day!
