Seeking Roots Wellness

The location is absolutely beautiful and the space is comfortable. I liked how thorough Lana was. We started our first treatment with questions and observation. She then explained what she thought was going on and how she would treat it. It was great.A few days later and I feel straighter. Can’t wait for my next appointment! Would highly recommend.

Lana's approach to treatment is incredible. She looks at the whole body and treats with the long-term in mind. Other services like this usually only look at the symptoms and treat a specific area of the body, which has always led me back to pain. In one session with at Seeking Roots, I understood what was going on to cause my issues and what the path back to an active life would look like. I would highly recommend Seeking Roots to anyone with pain and mobility limitations, even if it means a further trip. Absolutely worth every penny.

Lana takes the time to listen and assesses you before and after your session. Each treatment is geared to you as a unique individual and what will benefit you most at the present time. I also love that she is located in Consecon which is easy to find, and 10 minutes from my house .

Years ago a road was constructed from Shelburne to Yarmouth for a tin mine that never did pan out. Most don’t know but I found a Gold Mine” of pain relief.I’ve had back/neck issues for years but it was a shoulder problem that haunted me for over 17 months. All the therapists, massage, osteopath, rehab etc only masked my issue while Lana addressed all my issues. The others I saw only did what they thought they had to, especially when you have insurance. All that aside I found that Lana did Thai massage so booked a treatment.Mind you it’s not for the finicky and leaves you very lame from the treatment. I have seen her over a half dozen times waiting to see if my body replies to her sessions before composing a review. I have swear words I never thought I could utter but to even it out relief I have not had in years.Even with degenerated discs and super buildup of facia in most major muscles in my neck and back, I am walking much more straighter and zero….yes zero bunching of knotted muscles under my shoulder blade.Lana knows ever muscle, how they should work, what their limits are and if it’s possible to recoup. Her positivity has smoothened over my apprehension.The old saying “No Pain, No Gain” is true.After my first few sessions I was super sore for days afterwards but then realized it was more like being lame after a harsh basketball practice, so her reducing the old facia and waking up my muscles once again is like a workout for my body.Her knowledge along with compassion of having to live with pain has me booked for more sessions.Highly recommended without a doubt.I’m living proof.

The Shelburne NS area is blessed to have such wonderful practitioner in our community. I have seen many many many practitioners of all kinds and I was amazed and greatful for Lana's expertise, knowledge and commitment to my goals.I am so pleased and releived after my first session and look forward to my ongoing care and relief of pain and increased range of motion working with this phenomenal talented wellness providers.You owe it to yourself to experience what true massage healing means.Thank you

Lana is incredible. For years I searched for a massage therapist that could help me with my back problems and range of motion. After our first session, I was able to get my range back. She has almost completely helped me heal my back.

I love Lana's studio. It is located in Prince Edward County on Lake Consecon. Awesome peaceful zen environment. Lana is knowledgeable and thorough in her craft. Well deserved 5 Star review.

I have had low back pain and shoulder/ neck pain for decades. My lower back was always in some degree of spasm, sometimes severe, especially on the left. I repeatedly had a painful knot, from the size of a marble to a walnut, develop in my left mid shoulder from physical work and/ or mental stress. Sometimes my neck would lock. I’ve gone to various chiropractors, physiotherapists, massage therapists, all of whom have helped, but the above symptoms would keep repeating.Therapy with Lana has been different in very positive ways. For one thing, the room is spacious, relaxing and in a nice country setting, without outside noise or distractions. You don’t feel crowded or distracted. Lana also took the best history I’ve had, including encouraging me to report any physical trauma even if it seemed minor to me. I’ve seen her now for 5 months about every 3 weeks. About 2 months ago, that persistently recurring left shoulder knot stopped. My posture is better and improving. My lower back still gets tense, but the left side has let go a lot for the first time, and now I notice more (though not as severe) the right, which we are working on. She found other areas such as in one upper pec that needed work that I had no idea about.Lana has a great knowledge of body mechanics. She uses various massage approaches to get to the various layers, and finds the most effective one for the current problem. Don’t be surprised if the deep tissue massage is vigorous; I’ve had deep tissue massage before, but the problems kept recurring. Lana’s approach is different and it seems that is what took care of one of the biggest persistent problems in the left shoulder. She also uses her knowledge of body mechanics to give stretching and strengthening exercises to get to the core problems. If I’m just not getting one exercise, or if it seems not be helping as much as hoped for, she provides alternatives and persists until she finds the right ones for your body and set of problems. I highly recommend her.

I had my first massage with Lana and my experience was wonderful! I felt positive energy from the moment I walk into her studio. I instantly felt comfortable in Lana’s space and we carefully reviewed my previous injury history. Her massage room is warm, cozy and calming. Lana is very knowledgeable and her approach to my back needs was taken very seriously and she executed her techniques to my problematic areas. I look forward to my next treatment. Thank you!

Lana was the first therapist to actually listen to me and educate me about where my pain and discomfort was coming from in my body and what could be done about it. Others, it felt like, would treat me as a 45 minute block of time to get paid and see you again every 2 weeks!" Lana is literally the hidden gem of Shelburne County and beyond. I'm so glad I decided to take the drive out to her location and would not hesitate to recommend that others do the same."
