(Note: I am not taking new patient bookings at this time. To be notified if openings become available in the future, please email [email protected]). I’m fascinated by the art and science of massage therapy. With a trauma-informed approach, and a special focus on pain and stress management, I enjoy helping people feel at ease in their bodies. I also facilitate discussions for students and RMTs to learn about current research and best practices in patient care. In 2013, I was awarded first place by the Massage Therapists’ Association of British Columbia for my case study on treating post-traumatic stress disorder. Areas of Professional Interest Stress management and nervous system regulation Tension headaches and migraines Neck, shoulder and back pain Persistent/chronic pain Pregnancy massage Massage style I tend to offer medium to medium-firm pressure with a meditative flow that encourages deep relaxation. My treatments often begin with compressions over the sheets, followed by oil-free techniques, before transitioning to massage with oil. I’m curious to find out what you enjoy most. You can share with me if there is anything you haven’t enjoyed in your past massages, or any areas you would prefer not to include. I can incorporate scalp massage and longer, gentle holds for your head and neck. Forearms and hands and calves are areas I enjoy treating as well. I often end with compressions of your feet through the sheets. We discuss the areas we will include, and not include, before your treatment begins so that there are no surprises. Feel free to let me know in the moment if you’d like something to be a little bit different - an adjustment of the heating pad, a pillow, or massage pressure for example. I like to check in at the end of the treatment to hear what you enjoyed most and if there was anything you might try differently next time. With a focus on nervous system regulation, I aim to provide a quiet, cozy, and comfortable space for you to truly unwind.
