Luke was born in rural Quebec, and raised in rural Prince Edward Island by the ocean. He began charting a path in health care and the musical arts in childhood.
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 29 years, and he has now worked with more than ten thousand 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.
In 2025, Luke travelled to Chiang Mai, Thailand and received Advanced Thai Massage Training at the Sunshine Massage School. On the same trip he additionally studied privately at Supattra Thai Massage School with Mr. Nat, one of most acclaimed Blind Thai Massage Practitioners in Chiang Mai.
Additionally, Luke continues to receive bodywork regularly, which he considers a key to staying inspired and healthy as a professional Massage Therapist and as a Musician. His animated, thorough, skilled and effective approach to Massage Therapy continues to inspire and deliver results for hundreds of clients each year.
Luke’s current practice focuses on promoting postural alignment and bio-mechanical function. He especially enjoys working with musicians and all clients to alleviate RSI and chronic pain.

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.”
