Maya Essery
Maya is a Certified Athletic Therapist with an Honours Bachelor’s Degree in Applied Health Sciences. She is passionate about empowering individuals to take control of their recovery by addressing not just the injury but the whole person behind it. Maya recognizes that true healing goes beyond simply treating symptoms—every aspect of a person’s life, from mental health and nutrition to hydration and past injuries, plays a role in the recovery process. Maya’s philosophy revolves around uncovering the root cause of pain rather than offering temporary relief. She believes that by understanding the person behind the pain, she can develop personalized treatment plans that lead to lasting results.

Must have completed an initial in the clinic prior to booking this appointment. Our BIOFLEX® Laser Therapy utilizes scientifically developed and clinically tested protocols that maximize the effectiveness of treatment of an extensive range of clinical pathologies.
