Of all the experiences of my life, seeing the real-time transformation in my clients from pain to freedom is one of my greatest joys and inspirations. It is an honour and a privilege to be a part of your healing journey. I look forward to providing you with the necessary treatments to facilitate your ease of movement, a sense of calm relaxation, and relief from your pain and discomfort – thus restoring your sense of well-being. I make every effort to create an environment that feels welcoming, spacious, professional, and warm. My career journey into massage and manual therapies began when I enrolled in the one-year full-time Shiatsu Therapy program at Sourcepoint Shiatsu Centre, graduating in 2006, enabling me to become registered with the Shiatsu Therapy Association of BC. Later, I realized a long-time goal of becoming a Registered Massage Therapist in 2019 after graduating from the 3000-hour RMT program in B.C. While there are similarities in each person’s experience of pain, I view and assess each unique patient with an wholistic mindset. I then develop a treatment plan that is specifically formulated to treat the areas of pain you are experiencing. With your collaboration, I aim to achieve lasting solutions to your particular areas of pain. I am always seeking to discover the underlying cause of an individual’s pain and discomfort and bring them back to harmony and balance. Some chronic conditions I treat with positive outcomes include thoracic outlet and carpal tunnel syndromes, frozen shoulder, tendonitis, sacroiliac joint dysfunctions, plantar fasciitis, Morton’s neuroma, tension headaches, chronic neck/back pain, and postural imbalances such as “head forward posture” (with associated neck/shoulder pain) and hyper-lordosis of the lower back. Some techniques I use are myofascial release, deep tissue release, joint mobilizations, nerve decompression, neuromuscular techniques, muscle balancing (agonist/antagonist concept) and stretching. Since graduating in 2019, I have completed several courses in advanced orthopedic assessment and treatments in sacral balancing, hip/pelvis assessment and treatment, and deep tissue techniques. My main passion and joy in life is helping others reach their health goals, self-improvement and personal growth. I frequently receive positive feedback from clients experiencing long-lasting pain relief. My clients also often refer their spouses, family, and friends to me. I hope to be able to assist you too.
