I have always known I wanted to work in Health Care. What really pulled me towards Massage Therapy was how it encompasses the treatment of conditions/ailments and supporting general well-being. The World Health Organization defines health as “Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” Being able to help people reach their optimal well-being is my goal.

My philosophy in practice is treat with a balance between using techniques to address any injuries or aliments, as well as creating a sense of calm and activating the parasympathetic (rest and digest) nervous system. When clients are calm and relaxed it can create a treatment that is beneficial both physically and mentally.

Areas of focus in my practice are, but not limited to: Head and face massage; headaches and migraine therapy; cervical spine manipulations (neck pain and injury treatment); TMJ (jaw) massage; whiplash and whiplash-associated disorders; low back pain; cupping therapy; post concussion care; preventative maintenance; scoliosis and postural issues; iliotibial band syndrome; pain management; pregnancy massage; wellness massage; home care and stretching.

I have taken a wide variety of continuing education courses over the years, spanning from cupping therapy, concussion assessment, craniosacral training, nerve flossing, deep tissue techniques and 200HR Yoga Teacher certification.
