Luke was born in rural Quebec, and raised in rural Prince Edward Island. He began charting a path in health care and the musical arts in childhood, melding, developing and moulding these two unique proficiencies simultaneously.
His journey into the healing arts began by walking on his parents’ back regularly. After massaging away their aches and pains as a child, he entered adolesence and shared foot and shoulder massage with close friends. Experiencing his gift of healing touch, Luke’s family and friends encouraged him to pursue professional training.
After arriving in Toronto in 1995 to attend Sutherland Chan Massage Therapy School as a young adult, he graduated in 1997 with honours. His clinical practice spans 28 years, working with tens of thousands of clients. Luke originally trained in Thai Massage with Pejman Ayoubzedeh, RMT, in 2000, and has attended numerous workshops, courses, seminars and learning initiatives throughout his career.
He has more recently completed Advanced Thai Massage Training in Chiang Mai, Thailand, in June of 2025 with Supattra Blind Thai Massage School and Sunshine Thai Massage School. Additionally, Luke continues to receive bodywork weekly, which he considers a key to staying inspired and healthy as a professional Massage Therapist and Musician. His animated, thorough, skilled and effective approaches continue to translate into inspiration and results in his practice of Massage Therapy.
In addition to his Massage Therapy training, Luke has studied Cranio Sacral Therapy, Shiatsu, Therapeutic Touch, Passive Stretch Massage, Visceral Manipulation, Hot Stone Massage, and Tibetan Accupressure. Luke’s current practice focuses on correcting and balancing bio-mechanics, and he especially enjoys working with musicians for positive effect in biomechanical balance and chronic pain reduction matters.

He who works with his hands and head is a craftsman.
He who works with his hands and his head and his heart is an artist.”
