Once a national competitive gymnast for Canada and a Level 1 gymnastics coach, Anna has a special interest in treating clients who engage in physically demanding pursuits. Her passion for healing and understanding body mechanics has led her to Thailand to study Eastern traditions. In her treatments, Anna has melded traditional Eastern philosophy with the Western allopathic model of healthcare. Her holistic approach focuses on balance, by calming the mind and healing the body. Always interested in physically challenging and healing work, Anna trained as an advanced yoga instructor by meeting rigorous 300 hour standards for the practice. Her yoga training includes experiences during 2006 including Chakra yoga in Thailand and Thai Massage in Wat Po, Thailand. Along with her coaching background as a Level 1 gymnastics coach, she maintains a CPR Red Cross certification as well as certifications in Level 1 Craniosacral techniques, Reiki Level 2 techniques, and became a Sutherland Chan Graduate in 2013 as a registered massage therapist (RMT). She has had placements in many settings including Toronto General Hospital (24 clinical hours), Bellwoods Park House: Central Nervous System Patients (24 clinical hours). She also has a background in breast massage (24 clinical hours) when she worked with post surgical clients who presented with well adhered scars and pain from lumpectomy and breast reduction surgery.
