Carissa has been a Registered Massage Therapist since 2001 and brings over two decades of experience in health and wellness to the WELLNESS LAB  team in Terrace Bay. Her approach to care is rooted in a deep respect for the body’s ability to heal and restore balance when given the right support.

With a lifelong passion for movement, Carissa began her wellness journey as a certified spin instructor, guiding energetic group classes that inspired strength and endurance. Over time, her curiosity about mindful movement and holistic health led her to explore yoga, where she found a more grounding, restorative path that complemented her work as an RMT. In 2024, she became a certified yoga teacher, expanding her practice to include Hatha and Yin yoga, with a personal preference for flow-style classes that emphasize connection, breath, and ease within movement.

Carissa’s classes are designed to help students tune in to their bodies, release tension, and cultivate awareness—both on and off the mat. Whether through massage therapy or yoga, she is dedicated to helping others move and feel better in their daily lives.

At WELLNESS LAB, Carissa combines her clinical knowledge and intuitive understanding of the body to create a welcoming space for healing, mobility, and self-care.
