She has her own office that she practices Massage Therapy and Acupuncture in St. Catharines. She teamed up with a top creative hair design stylist , Gianfranco and opened offices together. Sharing space with someone who has great spirit and energy was important to Lorri.

My spiritual journey started years ago. I took a course in Reiki with Susan Savannah, and I have started my inner spiritual path. I find that using Reiki helps me while I am doing treatments. I am helping to rebalance energy and help people feel better.

Intention is my main perspective. Everything should be done with good intentions. Whether it is massage, teaching, acupuncture or whatever modality; your intentions speak volumes. If you intend for your patient to heal, feel better or be less stressed; your good energy will be felt.
