About Us

Life takes us in many directions before we find the path that best suites our stride.











Jasmine Arney - Owner Active Turtle

In 2004 I traveled to Montreal to take a break from my hectic life and study a new modality I new very little about. I saw a picture on the cover of Massage magazine that spoke to me. At Lotus Palm under Kam Thye Chow I immersed myself in a new atmosphere and came out reeling. After studying with students from all over the world and enjoying the ecclectic September days of  Montreal I knew my life had to change. I came home and closed a door on my old life and opened a door on the present.

In April of 2007, one month earlier than planned my husband Chad and I welcomed Baby Indio into our lives. The path I was on takes another turn and the journey continues.
