The Maliya Wellness Centre for Women, Teens & Children was founded by Lori Bean, inspired by her own journey through chronic pain and mental health challenges following a life-changing car accident.

Through her healing journey, Lori experienced the profound impact of working with practitioners who took the time to truly listen, connect the dots, and collaborate. Being seen as a whole person—not just a diagnosis—became the turning point in Lori’s recovery and renewed sense of purpose.

Moved by this experience, Lori felt called to participate in the healing journeys of other women navigating similar paths. She became a Women’s Health Coach, a Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist, and a Manual Lymphatic Drainage Therapist, allowing her to offer compassionate, whole-person support rooted in deep listening, connection, and care.

As your wellness specialist, grounded in her own healing journey and multidisciplinary training, Lori collaborates with Maliya’s practitioners to determine which services are best suited to support your needs and how they can work together effectively.

Her role is to help you move forward with clarity and care—offering guidance and support as needed along the way—so the process feels less heavy and you can feel supported, grounded, and gently held from the very beginning.

As a Registered Dental Professional for over 18 years, Sara saw numerous patients presenting with severe TMJ that was not being alleviated through conventional therapies. This awareness propelled her to learn and specialize in TMJ therapy, helping alleviate pain & headache issues in the jaw joint and surrounding muscles in the head, face, neck and chest caused by stress, clenching/grinding, or trauma. Sara’s goal is to accomplish true pain relief, relaxation and rejuvenation in an inclusive, safe, caring & nurturing space.

In addition to TMJ Therapy, Sara discovered first-hand what the powers of Reiki and Access Bars have done to help bring balance to her body, mind and spirit. This experience led her to become a Reiki and Access Bars Practitioner in 2018, studying under Dave Nelson at “Reiki Infinite Healer” learning the traditional methods of Master Mikao Usui, the founder and pioneer of Reiki. She is working towards her Reiki mastery level 3 to be able to teach others one day about how to tap into this incredible modality. Sara truly believes that working with the energy at a more intimate level can optimize one’s healing.

Sara has also expanded her knowledge in Reflexology and holds certification and registration through the NHPC for this natural, holistic therapy. She took her training through Reflexology Experience in Calgary under Erica Weiland and blends this treatment into her unique sessions to support the entire body system on many levels or can be offered as it’s own therapy session.

This path of learning and exploration for Sara continued as she herself dealt with several major injuries, accidents and hardships over the years, contributing to her own physical, mental and emotional pain. Through these experiences, Sara started to explore the world of yoga. Sara had already learned all of these “moves” years before through sport, but they were just practiced in a different way. Feeling as though something in her was sparked, she followed this path to become a Certified Embodiment Yoga Teacher with 200-hours of training. She then continued with her advanced training to become specialized as a Trauma-Informed Thai Yoga Therapist at the 500-hour level through the Mandorla Yoga Institute.

Among these modalities Sara also holds the title of teeth whitening technician! Working in the dental field for over 18 years, Sara has expanded knowledge and taken many continued education courses around maintaining a healthy, beautiful smile. She has taken the most up to date courses on best practices and products to offer you the top of the line whitening systems to brighten your smile!
