About Laser Centers For Health

History of Laser Centers for Health

In 1998, Registered Nurse Sheila Baxter attended a medical conference that featured addiction treatment using newly developed laser therapy technology. Baxter enlisted the help of the Registered Nurses Association of British Columbia (RNABC) to determine the legitimacy, effectiveness, and future of this technology.

With RNABC support, Baxter embarked upon intensive training with the developer of the laser therapy technology – now known as Matrix Therapeutic Systems Inc. – to become a Certified Laser Therapist (CLT). She launched negotiations to open a laser therapy clinic on Vancouver Island.

In March 1999, Total Health Lifestyle Centres opened its doors in Nanaimo, B.C. Canada, delivering treatments for smoking cessation and weight loss. By 2000, Baxter was certified to do laser therapy treatments for drug and alcohol addiction, gambling, insomnia, stress, nail biting and chronic pain, and opened a treatment centre in Victoria, B.C.

In 2003, Baxter changed the name to Laser Centers for Health (a subsidiary of Baxter Laser Health Centers Inc.) and, to accommodate rapidly growing demand, she expanded the Victoria clinic. The new full-time centre in the McKenzie Professional Centre dramatically improved access for the residents of the Southern area of Vancouver Island, including the Greater Victoria Regional District, Duncan South and the Southern Gulf Islands.

The Nanaimo Laser Centers for Health clinic continues to serve the residents of the Central and Northern areas of Vancouver Island, including Alert Bay, Bamfield, Campbell River, Chemainus, Courtenay, Comox, Coombs, Crofton, Cumberland, Duncan, the Gulf Islands, Errington, Gold River, Ladysmith, Lake Cowichan, Nanaimo, Nanoose Bay, Parksville, Port Alberni, Port Alice, Port Hardy, Port McNeil, Port Renfrew, Powell River, Qualicum, Tahsis, Tofino, Ucluelet, Woss, and Zeballos.

Laser Centers for Health also provides mobile services to remote B.C. destinations for corporate clients who support employees in optimizing their health.

Baxter and her staff at Laser Centers for Health have the highest known success rates to treat all types of chemical and behavioural addictions, such as addiction to nicotine, all forms of drugs, including marijuana, cocaine and narcotics, alcohol, food, and even gambling. Laser Centers for Health also provides effective relief for those suffering from stress, insomnia, obesity, anxiety and depression.

Laser Centers for Health holds the exclusive training and licensing rights for this copyright technology – Matrix Therapeutic Systems Inc – throughout the province of British Columbia.

Since February 2004, Baxter has been licensed as a Certified Matrix Trainer and Certified Clinical Nurse Instructor in Laser Therapy (CCNLT). Baxter trains medical professionals, healthcare providers and others from around the world who want to expand their existing business or open their own laser therapy clinic.
