Oh Hey
​
Thanks for stopping by,
my name is Stef. I’m a Registered Massage Therapist, invested in providing supportive, empathetic, human centered care. I’ve been treating bodies since 2018, but fascinated by them since I was a kid playing competitive sports.
Starting Leaside Massage is my latest venture, after working at Therapy Health Studio in Vancouver, and Timber Massage in Powell River. My home studio is a space for everyone. You’re welcome here, whatever your identity, wherever you’re at in your journey with your body.
My massage style is focused on myofascial release, trigger point therapy, joint mobilization, deep tissue, mixed in with some Swedish massage, you can expect a well rounded treatment, and nice music (no spa sounds here).
​
I have experience treating orthopedic injuries, sport injuries, headaches, chronic pain, prenatal massage and more.
Always interested in a challenge, and look forward to getting to know people's unique needs!
​
Your baby or kiddo is welcome! You can bring them into the treatment room with you and we’ll adapt however we need to, or ask us about childcare options.
RECENT REVIEWS
I’ve been going to Stef since the beginning of RMT school, and let me tell you, what already started off great has truly become amazing. Skilled communicator, understands and reads bodies incredibly well, has fantastic music taste, on top of being a gem of a human. Simply cannot recommend enough.

I highly recommend Stef Launay. She works hard to ensure I feel comfortable and listened to. Amazing treatment plans with long term goals! Go see her. She has magic hands, I swear.

A coworker of mine recommended Stef, and I am now absolutely hooked and never going anywhere else. I cant say enough good things; massage style is a personal thing, but Stef's massage technique is absolutely perfect for me and my poor WFH back issues. She's one of the most welcoming massage therapists i've ever encountered. I leave feeling relaxed, my muscles feel properly worked over, and my mobility is much better.
