A career in the Canadian Armed Forces allowed me the opportunity to learn and understand how to deal with extraordinary physical and mental demands on our bodies. This opportunity allowed me to understand why personal well being and self care are so important to ensuring a healthy body and mind throughout all stages of life. This has led me to direct my path towards helping others through massage therapy and eventually graduating from the Okanagan Valley College of Massage Therapy. I use orthopedic assessment in order to develop an individualized treatment plan and increase the clients knowledge of how poor posture or injury can be causing dysfunction. Since not everyone responds to every treatment style, I utilize different modalities such as: Myo-fascial release, Neuromuscular therapy, Swedish massage, trigger point therapy and muscle energy work. I have also found clients obtain significantly more success when they understand and participate in their own recovery. To this end, I strive to develop home care plans tailored to each client to ensure they continue on a positive path of healing outside of the treatment room. I have been physically active my whole life and always eager to experience new and exciting challenges. On my time off you will find me maintaining a healthy lifestyle through crossfit, obstacle course racing, and enjoying what nature has to offer through camping and fishing. I believe that positive outlooks lead to active recovery so you will always find a safe and supportive environment in my treatment room. I am eager to work with anyone who is interested in learning to understand what will enhance their mobility or assist in their recovery.
