Woot! Woot!
Staples are out and had my 6-week post-op appointment with my surgeon. He says I'm healing well and I can go back to nursing at reduced hours, then gradually increase in specific timeframes.
The scars themselves are so so so sensitive and if they are poked I crumble down into fetal position and rock myself until comforted. LOL
So my hours remain blocked until May 19 unless things change and can return to massage earlier.
Until then, please do not hesitate to text me if you have any questions or need recommendations.
Hope to see you soon!
Yours in health,

Hello all!
As most of you know, I finally had my bilateral (left and right) carpal tunnel release surgery. My surgeon has me off massage for at least 12 weeks which puts me to about May 19. However, that date is tentative. At this point in time my schedule is blocked from booking. I will update the site when I have an actual date of return.
Until then, please do not hesitate to text me if you have any questions or need recommendations.
Hope to see you soon!
Yours in health,
Larissa
December 6 - CLOSED UNTIL DECEMBER 12
It is with heavy heart that I am closed until December 12 due to a death in the family.
I thank you all for your understanding. If you have an upcoming appointment, you will receive a cancellation notice via email and I will be sending a text out.
I know that many of you are trying to use up all your insurance benefits by end of year and it's really hard to book anywhere nowadays. What I would suggest is to book where there are lots of RMT's and spots opening up can be frequent. This would be places like Massage Addicts, Hand & Stone or any other locations that are similar to the previous two.
Be safe out there, we have now come into winter.
Yours in health,
Larissa Serrano Kazi

I have changed my work status at the hospital to casual so I can have more availability. My hours have been updated up to March 17, 2024.
There were some changes to SunLife claim submissions by practitioners, so I am unable to direct bill for SunLife insurance members until further notice. An official receipt can be sent via email or printed for you.

* Opening November 21st! *
I am very excited to announce that I will finally be re-opening on November 21st! I am still on maternity leave with my nursing side so my hours will be quite limited due to childcare as Mina is still too young for daycare.
That being said, my plan is one client per day Monday to Friday and open on Saturday mornings.
The hours will vary a lot to go around my husband's schedule so he can look after the little one. Best choice is the book online which will open on November 20th.

* NEWEST MEMBER OF THE FAMILY! *
I am thrilled to introduce my little girl, Mina Serrano Kazi. She was born on February 19, 2022. That being said, I will be on maternity leave and hope to re-open by November 2022.
I hope to see you all again and feel free to contact me if you have any questions, concerns or in need of recommendations.

* CONSTRUCTION UPDATE *
I am very sorry to say that the basement is still not completed. Penguin Basement Renovations has been a complete disaster with delay after delay. When we hired this company, projected completion date was for the end of August. Now being the end of November we still have no date of completion as of yet so I will no longer provide a projected date either to avoid further disappointment.
I will contact all my previous and potential clients of when I will re-open via email.
I hope to see you all again and feel free to contact me if you have any questions, concerns or in need of recommendations.

* UPDATE *
It's been a long time everybody!
Construction had some hiccups causing delay to my re-opening but things are finally happening again! Here is a picture of the new space. Hard to see but I'll have a nice little spot soon enough.
Projected completion September 15, 2021.
Again, please do not hesitate to ask me any questions or if you need recommendations to other RMT's.
Yours in health,
Larissa Serrano Kazi

* COVID-19 UPDATE *
Due to Premier Ford's Emergency Order to shut down all surgeries except for emergency surgeries announced on April 8, my department's workload has significantly decreased. As a result I have been redeployed to work in another patient area and on a whole different work schedule.
The patient care area that I've been redeployed to was recently deemed as COVID positive active. This means that I will be working with COVID positive patients and/or asymptomatic patients.
For the safety of all my clients and reduce possible transmission (even though I am fully vaccinated), I have decided to shut down my business. All appointments already booked will be cancelled.
Ford's emergency order is projected for 4 weeks, depending on the provincial daily case counts.
The emergency order also crosses my moving timeline. I suspect that I will be closed until construction of my new practice space is complete.
Please do your part by respecting social distancing and masking. Stay safe.
Yours in health,
Larissa Serrano Kazi

It hit me like a ton of bricks I got:
- extremely fatigued
- fever through the night
- sensitivity to light
- dizzy
- light headed
- flushed
Sunday Feb 14: I was completely back to normal :)

On January 8th, I received my 1st dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine!
My arm was heavy, sore and weak that evening and the next day.
Unfortunately due to the delayed shipments of Pfizer vaccines as of late, my 2nd shot (the booster shot) which was at the 3 week mark was cancelled.
I've now been rescheduled for my booster on February 12.
Accounts from others who've received their booster shot, they say that the side effects after the 2nd shot are worse than the 1st.
Therefore I will be closed February 12 & 13.
Here's hoping for the best!
