I love my work as a massage therapist. I graduated from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy in 2001, and have continued to explore numerous modalities of manual therapy, movement, biomechanics, yoga and meditation. In my 20+ years of practice, curiosity and a love of learning has been a primary motivator. My approach to treatment integrates fascia based therapies: Myofascial release, Cranio-sacral therapy, and Visceral Manipulation. I use traditional massage therapy techniques such as trigger point release, joint mobilizations, lymphatic/circulatory work and deep tissue therapy when indicated. The body is always seeking balance as a multi-layered, interconnected whole; my role is to facilitate its innate and inherent self-correcting ability. Drawing upon my understanding of yoga, meditation, Pilates and therapeutic movement, my aim is to encourage clients towards an embodied awareness. My practice is inclusive; adults, youth and children are welcome. Women’s health and supporting families during pregnancy, birth and postpartum is an area I have many years of experience. A unique time of change; physical, emotional, relational and social. Providing support during this time is very rewarding; not only are children born, so too are mothers, fathers and families. It is my intention to provide compassionate care. Through my experiences as a birth doula and mother myself, I understand how a woman well-supported and nurtured during pregnancy and birth can transition into motherhood feeling empowered, relaxed and trusting herself. Growing, birthing and caring for an infant is physically demanding. Manual therapy effectively addresses many of the physical issues that arise and is an excellent way to practice self-care - something all caregivers need. Outside my work life, I love adventuring; be it with my family and our pup, exploring mind and body with yoga and meditation, and enjoying the terrain of the West Coast. I look forward to working with you.

My treatments are often slow, strong and sporty, and your massage will be tailored to your current needs and mood. It can range from a focused, dynamic session with informative dialogue to a soothing reset for your nervous system. I integrate a variety of modalities including deep tissue and Swedish massage therapy, trigger point therapy, passive and active stretching, myofascial release therapy, dynamic release, breathwork and body awareness cues, as well as joint mobilizations into fundamentally relaxing treatments.

My approach to massage is positively client-centered. I strive to create a safe, collaborative treatment space where you can reconnect with yourself: your involvement in some techniques encourages you to uncover, question, and challenge your functional or psychological limitations.

Outside of the treatment room, I like to read, get eight hours of sleep, write postcards, and eat pastries from Livia. I love to move: yoga brings me community, breath and space; hiking supports my perseverance, my wide-eyed wonder, and a responsible relationship to both safety and risk; and decades of soccer have developed in me a sweet sense of teamwork, the hunger for success, and the patience and curiosity bound in injury and recovery. Every day, I endeavor to strengthen my relationship with rest.

I am a Registered Massage Therapist in good standing with the College of Massage Therapists of British Columbia. I graduated from the 3,000-hour massage therapy program at Vancouver College of Massage Therapy where my academic distinction was recognized with the Dean’s list honours. I was awarded with the college’s Heart Award for my integrity, compassion, and dedication to the profession’s community.
