Verra
The team

Three practitioners. One conversation at a time.

We are deliberately small. The decision to practise this way is the most important one we make every morning.

Amara Okafor

RMT, BHSc

Registered Massage Therapist · Founder

Amara opened Verra in 2019 after a decade in hospital-adjacent rehabilitation work. Her practice draws from sports therapy, Indigenous bodywork traditions she trained in over five years in northern Ontario, and a conviction that the people she sees deserve more than fifteen minutes of attention. She specialises in chronic pain and prenatal care.

  • Chronic pain
  • Prenatal & postnatal
  • Myofascial release

Dr. Iris Lin

ND, MSc Nutrition

Naturopathic Doctor · Clinical Lead

Iris practised in integrative oncology before joining Verra in 2021. She holds a master's in clinical nutrition from McGill and reads more journals than is strictly healthy. Her focus areas are women's hormonal health, autoimmune conditions, and the gentler edge of acupuncture practice. She believes naturopathic medicine works best when it sits comfortably beside conventional care, not in opposition to it.

  • Hormonal health
  • Autoimmune support
  • Acupuncture

Marcus Chen

RMT

Registered Massage Therapist

Marcus came to massage therapy after a career as a competitive cyclist ended in a hip injury. He understands what it is to need bodywork that actually addresses the cause. His sessions are quieter than most. He works deep, holds long, and leaves you in better repair than when you arrived.

  • Sports recovery
  • Deep tissue
  • Postural correction

Choose the practitioner. The work follows.

Patients consistently tell us they came back because of who they saw, not what they were sold. If you are not sure which practitioner is the right fit, write us a paragraph about what brought you in. We will reply with a recommendation.
