Hope she is found soon, and curious to see how this case unfolds. Interesting factors.

It looks like the date in the title is wrong. It should be 2024 instead of 2023.

I also wonder what they mean by wellness centre. Looking on Google maps, I don’t see anything called a wellness centre in that area. There is a chiropractor and a physiotherapist, lots of restaurants. It would be helpful if they were more specific exactly where she was last seen.

MOO: Wellness center means massage parlor. I could be wrong, I hope so.

So many unanswered questions.

Does she work at the “wellness centre”?

She was wearing scrubs, so is she somehow involved in patient care? What is her profession?

She was seen at the centre at 10:40 am. If she does work there, where did she go after that? Early lunch break, and never returned?

Is her car missing?

What happens when they ping her phone?

Security cameras at the wellness centre capture anything?

Wish we had more to go on. I hope she turns up ok!

Often it is used for an alternative health care centre. It could mean a spa, but it might be some other type of centre as well.

Maybe it's a regional difference, but I've never heard of "wellness center" as another name for massage parlor. A friend of mine is an acupuncturist and works at a wellness center that offers all sorts of services, including massage - but it's not a massage "parlor" iykwim.

When I look at the map, I can see a few places that could be considered a "wellness center," including at least a couple with that specific phrase in the business name.

Specific info about her profession and name of the business where she worked would be helpful - then we would know for sure what kind of business it was and who she might have encountered.

I’m from the American Northeast and the American South. MOO: Her professional field is one that is rife with malfeasance. MOO: I pray her profession, be it acupuncture or massage or something else, had nothing to do with her disappearance. MOO: I will be surprised in a growth sense if that is the case.

As a resident of Ontario, I have never heard wellness centre to mean a massage parlour. I think it's a stretch. Licenses for wellness centres are issued for health practitioners other than doctors or dentists.

Yes, that is the definition I am familiar with too.

What is her profession? All I've seen is that she was last seen wearing scrubs.

I have been looking for work and do not live too far from the area. I have the same understanding that a wellness centre tends to be chiropractor, physiotherapy and other regulated professions.
