Laryn Hussey, RMT

I grew up in a small town and that meant when you were old enough, everyone worked in Agriculture. I have picked everything from corn to strawberries to rocks. I spent my high school years working in tobacco; many valuable lessons were learned during those cold fall mornings. I attended Guelph University and studied Psychology and then decided to join the automotive world. I worked at Toyota Motor Manufacturing in Cambridge and Woodstock building doors for ten years with the last five years spent as a Team Member Relations Specialist.

When I had my daughter, I thought it was time to leave the corporate world and do something that fulfilled my passion of helping people. I went back to school to become a Registered Massage Therapist. I enjoy working with people of all ages, but especially children as well as pre and post natal.

My hobbies include traveling, reading and spending time with my dog and daughter outside in the sunshine.
