Both of these skills and experiences complemenet my massage therapy. My proficiencies include a variety of corrective techniques, among which include myofascial, neuromuscular, IASTM, and joint mobilizations. **A little backstory** As a life long Vancouverite, I understood early on that helping others was something I enjoyed and connected with. While I thought that counselling was my calling (majored in psychology at SFU), I soon realized that I had more confidence in supporting people with my hands than with my words. **Outside the clinic** When I’m not out admiring or creating collage art, you can find me walking my dog around the neighbourhood or nearest park, enjoying some bougie tea (self-proclaimed tea snob) or learning my next new skill (Youtube self taught crocheter).
