(She/Her/Hers)
RMT
Having graduated from WCCMT Victoria in 2020, I have been an RMT in the Saanich Peninsula community ever since, culminating in My 2025 move to a more peaceful home clinic space in Brentwood Bay. .
I am constantly fascinated by the interconnected nature of everything in the body, and my evidence based practice is based on the foundation that creating ease and decreasing and managing pain, and rebuilding strength can help patients improve their quality of life and continue or return to the activities they enjoy. My solid understanding of biomechanics as well as my past experiences as both a yoga teacher and a career gardener give me a somewhat unique insight into how your movement patterns are influencing your tension patterns. Healing is a multi-faceted collaborative approach with my patient and as such, there is never a one-size-fits-all treatment. My treatment approach will blend traditional massage techniques with joint mobilizations, active release, myofascial manipulations, craniosacral techniques, and deep tissue massage, however much each of these may be needed. I always strive to find what each individual patient requires, to feel at their best, in each treatment, whether we are working through a lens of relaxation or recovery from injury. This includes homecare recommendations and and guidance around healthy active lifestyles and workouts when warranted.
Craniosacral training through both the Upledger Institute and Linden Utting have influenced my treatment style. I completed my first level of training from Eryn Price with the Mastectomy Guide, with plans to learn at the Bodhi Tree for Biodynamic Myofascial work in the cervical and thoracic regions. I firmly believe that constantly learning to improve my skills and expand her offerings makes me a better practitioner for my clients.
Massage is my profession, yes, but it is also an honour and a calling to collaborate with my patients in their continued pursuits for healing and wellness. I work hard to create an inclusive, accessible, relaxing environment.
My passion for the power of massage in healing is immense, and driven by the personal experience of massage being instrumental in helping regain mobility after injury, and surgery.
A lover of knowledge and learning and all things active and/or outdoors, I spend much of my spare time outside or with my nose in a book. Sometimes both. With many interests, I have been a small-boat sailor, a career gardener/landscaper, a hobby farmer, and a yoga teacher.
My family and I are proud and grateful to live, work and play on the traditional unceded territories of the WSANEC peoples.
