About LiNK
Where
Health
Meets
Care
LiNK Massage Therapy & Wellness Hub was founded by experienced Registered Massage Therapists Lisa Pasquariello-Bent and Kristine Pagar. Our shared vision was to create a welcoming healthcare space where clinical knowledge and compassionate care come together—and where people feel heard, respected and genuinely cared for.
We believe effective massage therapy begins with understanding the person, not simply treating a symptom. Your initial appointment includes an in-depth assessment and the development of a personalized treatment plan. Follow-up appointments include focused reassessment and individualized, evidence-informed care that adapts to your progress and changing needs.
Each of our RMTs brings their own experience, strengths and approach while sharing a commitment to thoughtful assessment and continued learning. You are always welcome to see the RMT whose experience or availability best suits your needs. At LiNK, choosing the right fit for each appointment is something we fully support.
