Victoria Centre Acupuncture and Massage

1016 Fort Street, Victoria, BC, V8V 3K4

I’ve been a massage practitioner since 2012, graduating from Cortiva Institute of Massage Therapy in Seattle, WA. I also hold certifications in wellness counselling, craniosacral therapy, trauma-informed touch, and various other modalities, such as lomi lomi and warm bamboo massage. Most recently, I became certified in comprehensive breast and chest post surgical recovery massage, in order to provide the community with needed and hard to access care during critical phases of healing. I am passionate about working with the trans community as a caring ally, as well as with women who have been so often overlooked and under served within healthcare. My touch is gentle yet intentional and effective. I take the time to really listen to my clients and build a relationship of trust where the therapeutic work can happen within a non-judgmental and supportive environment. All types of bodies, gender expression, and neurodiversities are welcome in my space! Feel free to reach out in order to discuss your unique accessibility needs. I am also currently an undergraduate student at the University of Victoria, majoring in Gender Studies, with a minor in Psychology. My goal is to go on to earn a Masters degree in Counselling and Art Therapy. I hope to integrate all that I've learned from my years as a bodyworker into my future work as a Registered Clinical Counsellor. When I'm not studying or at the clinic, I enjoy rock climbing, swimming in natural bodies of water, or reading a good book. I look forward to supporting you on your healing journey!
