Leonie Price

Léonie Price, RMT

Hi, I’m Leonie! Originally from Armstrong, BC, I now call Vernon home, and I absolutely love living in the beautiful Okanagan Valley. The active lifestyle here is something I deeply cherish, and I’ve always been drawn to the outdoors, playing various sports as I grew up.

However, with an active life comes the occasional injury, and I’ve experienced my share of them over the years. As I explored different holistic treatment options to manage my injuries, I discovered a true passion for massage therapy. It was through these experiences that I realized how powerful massage could be, not only for pain relief but also for overall well-being, and I felt inspired to help others on their own healing journeys.

I graduated from the Okanagan Valley College of Massage Therapy (OVCMT) in 2024 and am thrilled to be starting my career as a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) in Vernon. My approach is centered around helping you get back to your active lifestyle—whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing stress, or simply looking to start a healthier routine. I’m excited to be a part of your wellness journey, offering a holistic approach to healing and rejuvenating your body, mind, and spirit.
