I was originally interested in a career in massage therapy because I wanted my work to affect positive change in people’s lives. I have personally experienced the powerful effects of massage to help reduce pain, increase speed of recovery and encourage deep relaxation. Our bodies have a fantastic capacity to heal themselves, yet alongside therapies such as massage the process can be expedited to help us get back to the quality of life we deserve. I have always had a passion for movement, I grew up playing many sports and I love to explore the potential our bodies have to interact with the world around us. I graduated from Vancouver College of Massage Therapy where I became fascinated with the intricacies of human anatomy and learning about all the cogs in the machine that make that movement possible. You can expect my treatments to have a heavy emphasis on rhythmic and relaxing strokes interspersed with deeper, specific techniques to work towards your personal goals. I use a combination of Myofascial release, Trigger point therapy, deep tissue Swedish, Stretching and Joint mobilizations. I am especially interested in treating Temporal Mandibular Joint (TMJ) pain or dysfunction and injury rehab. Whether you are coming to me for rebab or relaxation, I am excited to be a part of your journey to well-being. Outside of the clinic you can find me on the tennis courts, taking my bike on long tours and travelling the world to experience new cultures.
