About Me.
As a Registered Massage Therapist, I am a registered member of both the CMTO and RMTAO. Priding myself in offering Client-Centered Care, I am interested in treating the body as an integrated system, focusing on:
Ankle/Knee/Foot injuries and/or pain
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Craniosacral Therapy
Abdominal/Visceral Massage
Trauma Informed massage therapy
Fascial and Joint Mobility
Spinal Alignment/rotational patterns
Core Strength
Chronic Pain Symptom Management
Neck Pain/Headaches/TMJ/Whiplash
I have a special interest in scar/fascial work and its impacts on lymph and pain. I use a combination of fascial work, the Dr. Vodder tequnique for Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Cupping Massage, Craniosacral Therapy, and varying depths of tissue work depending on the specific needs and wants of each individual client.
In addition to my massage training, I graduated from the University of Western Ontario with an Hon. Bachelor Degree in Social Justice & Peace Studies in 2010. With a passion for social justice, organic food systems, and permaculture gardening, I spent several years as an organic gardener and plant an extensive vegetable garden every spring.

My Approach to Care.
I approach the body as a whole, and try to take as many factors into account as possible when assessing the area to be treated. Simply because your foot hurts does not necessarily means that’s where the pain originates - I believe it is important to search for that origin and to try to stop the pain at it’s source, progressing towards preventative care in order to stabilize a feeling of wellbeing and ensure a healthy flow of fluids (lymph, blood) through the tissues for optimal health.
“You Gotta Nourish To Flourish”
Nourish
I love this quote!
By nourishing our minds and bodies with positive and healthy things like water, local food, exercise, movement, dance, massage/body work, singing, play, stretching, yoga, sports, games, walks in nature, gardening, self awareness….
Flourish
All of these things can lead to flourishing within every aspect of our lives.
Nourish your body today to flourish tomorrow, and consider coming to see us as a part of nourishing yourself! We look forward to meeting new people in the community every day!
