Kara Biendarra

Kara is a 2200 hour graduate from M H Vicars School of Massage.

 

She offers a warm and welcoming environment, making sure you are heard. She listens to the body to make every treatment tailored to her client’s needs every time they are on her table.

 

Kara offers therapeutic and relaxation massage but believes a balance between the two approaches often result in the most effective massage session. While deep is her preference, patient relaxation
and comfort are still the ideal goal.

Adrienne Myers

Adrienne was born on Canada’s west coast, but has spent the majority of her life right here in St. Albert.

In 2008 Adrienne completed her Bachelor of Science at the University of Alberta majoring in Biological Sciences and minoring in Sociology. In 2014 she achieved her Laser Technician certification from the Cosmetic Laser Institute and has been at Off the Hook Laser and Spa ever since.

She hated turning clients away when they weren’t candidates for laser hair removal, so in 2017 she was bound and determined to learn the art of electrolysis. Her passion is hair removal and her work days are usually spent using one of our top laser or electrolysis machines. She strives to design the best treatment approach for each individual client, sometimes using a combination of both techniques to achieve the best results.

Adrienne is also an Oilers fan and avid skater, teaching Power Skating and playing hockey. She also loves traveling, having explored South America, Europe and Asia.

Mj Fenton

I am lucky enough to have lived all over Canada but have chosen the beautiful Edmonton area, since 2014, as our ‘final destination’.

I joined Off the Hook in 2022, as a part time receptionist, and knew fairly quickly that I wasn’t just coming to work, but rather, becoming a part of something special. Clients and staff have been so patient and kind as I take on my new role.

I’m a mom to 3 children, which includes twins. I have more pets than children. I love being with my family & friends sharing food, wine and a good laugh.

Leanna Fox

I have worked in almost every corner of the industry for over 25 years, including teaching, managing, directing and consulting.

 

Ownership seemed like the most natural next step for me.

 

I wanted to create a special and different kind of space for clients, and a genuine family of empowered co-workers who support each other; a place where people from all walks of life could truly feel at home.
