True Touch Massage Therapy and Fitness has grown to offer services from a location. 

This is a little history on Laura’s(the owners) journey:

I am from a small town in NB, but have lived in AB for 12 years. I am a wife and mother of two wonderful girls, 6 and 7 years old. I began this journey when I was sitting at home with my girls wondering how I would be able to be here for them and make money.

My husband worked away a lot! So for his days on shift I would have to make sure I was there after school for the girls. I figured since I love getting massages, why not learn how to make money at giving massages around my kids schedules! Once I received my diploma, I started with the business out of my house. Just doing massages at the girls nap times and when my husband was on days off.

IT began to grow, and so did I! While massaging I would think what could they do to fix this at home, stretches etc? I then looked into being a trainer and instructor. I soon realized how much fun it was to do fitness and training half the time and massage the other half. Every day felt like something new and I have yet to be bored with my job yet after 5 yrs!!

I thought about how great it was to have the flexibility of working when I could fit it into my schedule and wanted to offer it to others that were possibly in the same situation as me. With what started out as a dream for my kids, soon grew into something for not only myself but others working with me. I now employ 13 people part time and offer a range of different services that can help people on all levels of Health and wellness. It has become what you see today at True Touch Massage Therapy and Fitness.
