Eleven Arrows

A few signs your body might be asking for some attention:

Tension headaches that show up by mid afternoon. Shoulders creeping up toward your ears during the workday. Trouble finding a comfortable position to sleep in. That deep ache that stretching alone doesn't touch.

If any of that sounds familiar, your body's been trying to tell you something. We're here when you're ready.

Laurence just earned another glowing 5 star review 🌿⁠
⁠
Patients consistently share how safe, heard, and cared for they feel in his care. He takes real time to explain what's going on in the body, so you leave understanding your own healing instead of just hoping it works.⁠
⁠
If you've been dealing with stress, TMJ tension, neck and shoulder tightness, chronic pain, or a sports injury that hasn't fully resolved, Laurence's patient-centred approach might be exactly what you need.⁠
⁠
Now accepting new clients, with same-week availability often open.

We didn't want Eleven Arrows to feel like a clinic. No sterile walls, no rushed energy. Just a space that feels good to be in.⁠
⁠
That's why you'll find greenery throughout our space, it just feels more alive. And why we offer infrared sauna, on its own or added onto your appointment, for whenever you want to slow things down even more.⁠
⁠
Just a calming space to breathe, reset, and remember what it feels like to feel good in your body.

The body remembers what the mind tries to forget. Healing isn't about erasing the past, it's about finally feeling safe enough to put it down.⁠
⁠
So much of what we carry isn't in our thoughts, it's in our tissue. The tight shoulders, the shallow breath, the ache that doesn't quite have a story attached to it. Your body holds onto things long after your mind has moved on.⁠
⁠
That's part of why this work matters. Not to force anything, but to create the safety your body needs to finally let go.⁠
⁠
If you've been carrying something for a while, we're here when you're ready⁠.

Massage is often thought of as a treat, but the benefits go much deeper.
⁠
From better sleep and lower stress hormones to improved circulation, immune support, and even a stronger connection to your own body, massage therapy supports you in ways you might not expect.⁠

This year, we're celebrating 10 years of Eleven Arrows. ⁠
⁠
What started in the fall of 2016 as a vision for a meaningful space for the people of Nanaimo has grown into something we're incredibly proud of.⁠
⁠
A place to find your ground. A place for connection, growth, and calm, even in the midst of everything life brings.⁠
⁠
We've always believed in supporting balance, meeting people where they're at, and helping each person find their own version of being well.
⁠
If you've been thinking about coming in, we'd love to welcome you. Browse our services and find what feels right for you.

Struggling with neck or shoulder tension that just won't let up? Or dealing with something like TMJ, fibromyalgia, or chronic pain that's been hard to shake?⁠
⁠
Laurence is an RMT here at Eleven Arrows who specializes in exactly that, using a mix of myofascial work, deep tissue, and active release to help you actually feel relief, not just temporary ease.⁠
⁠
He's currently accepting new clients, often with same-week availability. Visit our website to book online.

Eleven Arrows is here to point you in the direction of health and well-being.
⁠
We offer Registered Massage Therapy, Registered Counselling, and Infrared Sauna, each one a different path toward the same goal: helping you find your ground.⁠
⁠
Whether you're looking to release physical tension, work through what's been on your mind, or simply carve out space to breathe and reset, there's a service here for where you're at.⁠
⁠
New clients are always welcome!
