Leighanne Strain

Leighanne has been immersed in John F. Barnes’ Myofascial Release since 2019, first experiencing the work as a patient before becoming an Expert Level MFR therapist. Her own experience with chronic pain, multiple diagnoses, and limited relief from conventional treatments led her to MFR and ultimately shaped the direction of her practice.

Leighanne is a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) and graduate of Sutherland-Chan School of Massage Therapy in Toronto. She has completed the full John F. Barnes Myofascial Release seminar curriculum, with many seminars taken more than once, as well as additional training in Women’s Health and Paediatrics.

Women’s Health is an important part of Leighanne’s practice. Her training supports her work with fascial restrictions related to pelvic and abdominal concerns, breast health, post-surgical changes, pregnancy and postpartum recovery, menopause, and other changes that can occur throughout a woman’s life. Treatment is always individualized and guided by each person’s comfort, needs, and goals.

She has also completed training in Matrix Repatterning, adding another perspective to the way she assesses patterns of tension, restriction, and dysfunction throughout the body.

Leighanne enjoys working with people of all ages and brings curiosity, compassion, and a deep respect for the body’s capacity for change to every treatment. She genuinely loves this work and feels privileged to support people as they move toward greater comfort, mobility, and connection with their bodies.
