Helping people improve their wellness is something I take great pride in. I love to help people reduce pain and tension, and increase their functional mobility and enjoyment of life. I have called New Brunswick home since 2001 when I came from Victoria, British Columbia to complete my studies in Forest Management at UNB. It was a three year plan that quickly changed when I met the love of my life, Jon. Knowing I would not enjoy working in the woods here – cold, snow, bugs, humidity - I decided to enroll in Massage Therapy training at the Atlantic College of Therapeutic Massage in January 2004. The transition from Forester to Register Massage Therapist was easy for me. I love learning how the human body functions, how all parts of our system are connected, and how making changes to one part impacts the whole person. Really, it is a lot like forest ecosystems and stewardship. I like to empower people to become the best possible caretakers for the bodies they live in. Since completing my initial studies in Massage Therapy, I actively pursue opportunities to add skills, knowledge, and complementary modalities to increase the effectiveness of my treatments. Learning is a life long endeavor for me. I have advanced my knowledge in Myofascial Release Techniques, Osteopathic Techniques, Neurolymphatics, Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction, Assessment and Treatment of the Pelvis, Mental Health First Aid, Implement Assisted Release, Cranio-sacral Techniques and Usui/Holy Fire Reiki Levels 1 and 2. I believe life is about finding joy in what you do. I love going on adventures with Jon and our dog Penny. Most times you will find us exploring rivers, lakes and forests. I also enjoy hiking, cooking, horses, photography and the company of family and friends.
