I grew up in the outdoors and have always loved wild and rugged places. This love led me to pursue a degree in Biology, and I was fortunate to work as a field biologist across BC and in many of the mountain National Parks. I moved to Field in 2018, and then to Golden a few years later — and quickly realized there was nowhere else I’d rather be. Being a field biologist is a physically demanding occupation. Over the years, I developed a deep appreciation for the body’s intrinsic strength and ability to heal itself — along with my fair share of chronic injuries and frustration with pain. Those experiences sparked a fascination with the human body that eventually led me to a second career as a Registered Massage Therapist. I graduated with honours from Calgary’s Vicars School of Massage Therapy in 2021 and am now a BC-registered RMT offering insurance billing. My background in biology and lived experience with injury recovery naturally drew me toward a neurofunctional-informed approach — a therapeutic style that focuses on the nervous system as much as the muscles. My treatments draw from techniques such as DermoNeuroModulating (DNM), Clinical Neurodynamics, and somatic movement , which work together to improve how the body senses, moves, and regulates itself . This approach is highly targeted and collaborative, designed to create meaningful, long-term change in how your body feels and functions. My practice is focused on therapeutic care , not relaxation or general deep-tissue massage . I do not offer treatments aimed purely at stress relief, general muscle fatigue, or “maintenance” massage. Instead, I work with clients who are looking to understand and change specific patterns in their body — whether that’s chronic or recurring pain, injury recovery, postural or lifestyle strain, or movement challenges that affect day-to-day life or athletic performance. In treatment, my style is intuitive, evidence-informed, and client-centered . I provide focused care and often incorporate gentle movement, awareness, or homecare strategies to help clients stay engaged in their own progress beyond the table. If you’re looking for a treatment that addresses root causes and helps your body relearn more easeful movement and comfort, this work may be a great fit. When I’m not in the treatment room, you’ll find me wandering through my garden, or out hiking, mountain biking, or “biologizing” in the mountains around Golden. To learn more about my approach and the modalities I use, visit: Nervous System Support I’m pleased to be accepting new clients who are interested in this neurofunctional-informed, therapeutic approach. Please note that my treatments do not include relaxation-style or general deep-tissue massage. If this sounds like the kind of focused, collaborative care you’re looking for, I’d love to work with you.
