I have been practicing in the field of massage therapy since October 2014, which was when I graduated with my 2200HR diploma specializing in Orthopedic Massage and Assessment. Since I finished my diploma I have also taken additional courses in proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching, as well as myofascial cupping. In addition to my massage diploma, I also have a Bachelor of Health and Physical Education degree from Mount Royal University where my major was Physical Literacy. This extra level of education gives me more knowledge of how the body should be moving and then identifying the root causes of pain and restricted motion.

I use a blend of all of the different techniques I have learned over the years to provide a unique massage treatment with the goal of helping my clients live active, healthy, pain free lives. I also have an extended network of other health care providers that I will refer my clients to, in order to help them reach their health goals.

Though I think everyone can benefit from massage, I have found much success working with certain populations, including the standard office worker, nurses, other medical professional/practitioners, and trades workers. I also enjoy working with anyone that is training directly for a fitness goal such as a marathon, 5K obstacle course race, power lifting competition, etc. ​ Outside of massage I enjoy spending time out in the mountains, on the tennis courts or attempting to improve my golf game. I am always actively looking to grow my own business and as such I am also a member of a networking group called BNI Excellence, which has helped me immensely over the 3 years I have been a member. Finally, I am proud to be associated with Variety – the Children’s Charity of Alberta where I am on the board of directors.

I plan to take additional courses related directly to massage to add more techniques to my repertoire, as well I eventually plan to peruse a masters degree in Occupational Therapy.

Massages with me can be booked online or by calling the clinic directly.
