Lyndsay Budgell

Owner & Founder of Total Recovery Massage Therapy & Wellness

Lyndsay opened her practice in 2018 as a solo Registered Massage Therapist working under the name Shallow Lake Massage Therapy in a shared space. What began as a one-woman operation quickly grew into something greater. Guided by a deep commitment to quality care, professional integrity, and client connection, Lyndsay steadily built a loyal patient base and a thriving practice.

As demand grew, so did the vision. In 2021, Lyndsay expanded into a larger, dedicated clinic space and rebranded the practice to become Total Recovery Massage Therapy & Wellness—a name that reflects her holistic approach to healing. Today, Total Recovery is home to a collaborative team of six Registered Massage Therapists, each aligned with the clinic’s core values of compassion, consistency, and client-centered care.

Lyndsay continues to lead Total Recovery with passion and purpose, blending her clinical expertise, entrepreneurial spirit, and vision for community wellness to cultivate a space where patients feel supported in every step of their recovery and growth.

Registered Massage Therapist
Trauma Informed RMT
Certified Reiki Master
Certified Sound Healer
Etheric Connection Guide

Lyndsay is a deeply intuitive practitioner who blends clinical skill with energetic awareness to support whole-body healing. As a Registered Massage Therapist with a trauma-informed lens, she offers firm, meticulous pressure and a focused approach that addresses the heart of each tension pattern. Her treatments incorporate myofascial release, stretching, joint mobilization, static and dynamic techniques, and muscle imbalance correction—designed not just to treat symptoms but to restore balance to the physical and emotional bodies.

Beyond massage therapy, Lyndsay offers a range of energetic services including Reiki, Etheric Connection sessions, and Soul Inquiry & Restoration—all grounded in her belief that true healing happens when we reconnect with the deeper layers of ourselves. With a comprehensive understanding of pain, injury, and the nervous system, she holds space for her clients to move through both physical recovery and energetic transformation.

  • Due to increased demand on her time, Lyndsay has updated her appointment structure to ensure the best possible care and alignment with her schedule.

    All new patients wishing to work with Lyndsay—including current clinic clients who have not seen her before, or returning patients who haven’t had a treatment in the past 7 months—are now required to book an Initial Appointment.

    This dedicated session allows for a thorough assessment, a personalized treatment plan, and a conversation about next steps and progression outcomes. If ongoing care is recommended, follow-up appointments can be scheduled after this initial visit.

  • YES! It is encouraged to book any energetic session with Lyndsay any time you feel you align with it.

  • No - all other RMTs are open and available for booking any time.

  • Total Recovery is one of three businesses founded and operated by Lyndsay Budgell, each requiring her unique energy and attention at different times throughout the year. In addition to her entrepreneurial ventures, Lyndsay is currently devoting more of her focus to her competitive lifting career with Team Canada and to coaching fellow kettlebell sport athletes—a role that continues to inspire and expand her professional reach.

    This growing scope of work means that Lyndsay is no longer in the treatment room full-time. Stepping back from daily hands-on care has allowed her to support her team, her clients, and her broader vision in more dynamic and sustainable ways.
