While completing a Bachelor of Science at Saint Mary’s University with a major in biology Jora became fascinated with human body mechanics and anatomy. This education along side of her work with animals at both the SPCA & Hope for Wildlife led her to pursue a career in rehabilitation for the human animal. She graduated from Canadian College of Massage & Hydrotherapy on the honour roll in 2015.
Since then she has actively sot out as much continuing education as she could fit into her schedule: TMJ mastery, pelvic health, rapid release, nerve flossing, visceral release, cupping, hot/cold stones, ashiatsu, thai massage and yoga teacher training. Jora has also learned a multidisciplinary approach is highly effective though dealing with her own pain and dysfunction such as chronic lower back pain. She is passionate about massage and education on movement and self care to help her patients maintain optimal health.
When not working Jora can be found seeking adventure out and about with her young son and dog soaking up all Nova Scotia has to offer.

We use hot stones to increase blood flow to tissues and to stimulate a soothing “rest and digest” response via deep moist heat. In practice, we use stones that are made specifically for therapeutic bodywork to ensure the best results. They often have smooth surfaces to allow for appropriate contact to the muscles. Sore Spots uses Basalt, Jade and Soapstone for massage because of their ability to absorb, retain, and transfer temperature.

Usually you can expect a Sore Spots hot stone massage to integrate a few cold stones into your treatment. This provides a blissful contrasting hydrotherapeutic experience, which is great for increasing circulation to tissue. Your therapist will single out one or two areas of your body where adding cool stones will enhance your therapeutic experience, and will always check in before integrating a cold element. It is worthwhile to note that many clients find including stones into treatment adds a grounding energy to each session. There is something about literally coming into contact with a natural element during a massage that enables a more mindful presence in healing.

How do you use the stones during massage? During a treatment, you may experience the stones as an extension of the therapists hands for deeper release into the muscle and connective tissue. The therapist may also choose to place hot stones in areas of increased tension - which has a similar feel to and intention of a heating pad - which aids in increasing circulation.
