After years of practicing Shiatsu Therapy and other forms of body work, including a blended Shiatsu and Swedish style massage, Robin went back to AIM Academy in Toronto to complete her Acupuncture Diploma in 2017. With the intention to promote our body’s innate healing abilities, Robin’s treatments are very hands-on, she combines her skills of massage, energy work and Acupuncture to create a uniquely, therapeutic and deeply, relaxing experience. These days Robin feels at home on Vancouver Island, she loves spending time in nature with her husband and two little Chihuahua mix doggies, Sunny and Coco.
