What I Do

As a Registered Massage Therapist, I use hands on techniques to manipulate soft tissue in the body that's hyper-toned, causing pain, reducing range of motion, has adhesions or to help scar tissue form properly. Techniques I utilize with patients:

​

  • Deep Tissue Massage

  • Myofascial Release

  • Trigger Point Release

  • Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Manipulation (IASTM) 

  • Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF)

  • Joint Mobilizations

  • Lymphatic Drainage (NOT the same as Manual Lymphatic Drainage known as MLD certification)

  • Hydrotherapy

  • Cross Fibre Frictions

  • Golgi Tendon Organ Release

  • Abdominal Massage

  • Tapotement

  • Diaphragmatic Breathing

  • Remedial Exercise 

​

There are several benefits to massage therapy that may include pain relief, decrease in stress, rehabilitation of injuries, improvement in range of motion and reestablishment of motor patterns. Conditions/states I treat with patients include:

​​

  • Musculoskeletal:
    • Strains 
    • Sprains
    • Tension Headaches & Migraines
    • Cruciate and Meniscal Injuries
    • Tendonitis

    • Bursitis

    • Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)

    • Joint Hypomobility
    • TMJ Dysfunction 
    • Degenerative Disc Disease & Herniations
    • Osteoarthritis & Rheumatoid Arthritis 
    • Plantar Fasciitis​
    • Scoliosis 
    • Whiplash
  • Nervous System:
    • Stress Reduction
    • Compression Syndromes (ie. Carpal Tunnel, Sciatica, Piriformis etc.)
    • Hemiplegia
    • Spinal Cord Injuries
    • Nerve lesions​
    • Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

About Me

About Me

“Stay close to nature, it will never fail you.”

Wellness is more than being free from illness; it is a process of change and growth towards a healthy lifestyle. Everything we do including what we eat, how we move and what we think has  a direct effect on our well-being. Set a goal for optimal wellness that includes massage therapy - a natural and highly effective treatment. Your body and mind will thank you!

After almost 20 years in the natural health industry, including as a founding member of Living Alchemy - an award winning organic supplement line - and a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, I live & breathe natural health & hope to inspire others to reach their optimal wellness through natural modalities. Our health is really all that we truly have, isn’t it?
