Nyah Iayanna Lai-Smith

Nyah graduated from the Massage Therapy Program at Centennial College, earning recognition from the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association for Academic Honors between 2019-2022. Recently, she became a certified Fascial Stretch Therapist through the Stretch to Win Institute.

Athletically inclined from a young age, Nyah developed a passion for basketball and volleyball early on. She played competitive basketball outside of her high school team and continued to play at the college level. Her high level of activity in practices and games led to injuries, which in turn fostered her appreciation for therapy and exercise. Her background in high-level sports and exercise inspired her to pursue a career in healthcare, with the goal of helping and motivating others to return to the activities they love.

Nyah takes pride in creating individualized treatment plans for each patient, recognizing that everyone has different intentions when seeking treatment. In addition to massage therapy and fascial stretching, she utilizes techniques such as Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM), cupping therapy, and deep oscillation.

In Nyah's free time, she enjoys powerlifting at the gym, creating delicious high-protein snacks in the kitchen or napping with her dog.
