The human body and it's capacity to heal has always interested me. One of my earliest experiences with Massage Therapy is when I was having strange headaches and neck pain. I visited a clinic and in one treatment the Massage Therapist was able to figure out where the pain was coming from and why. I was so amazed, it felt like magic. I now know it's about knowing your anatomy, asking the right questions, and having the skills to treat effectively. 

 

My journey towards a career in Massage Therapy started with my training as a Yoga instructor. I had worked in many different service industry jobs and wanted to work with people in a more nurturing and positive way. After working with groups, I quickly realised I wanted to work with people in more depth and on a one-to-one basis. This led me to study the two year program at the Okanagan Valley College of Massage Therapy in British Columbia. Since then I have worked in a clinical setting in BC, a holistic treatment centre in England, and luxurious spas and hotels in Europe and the UK. 

​

I consider myself a lifelong learner and since graduating in 2014, I have continued my studies exploring Craniosacral therapy, Visceral Manipulation, Muscle Energy Techniques, and have added other modalities like Facial Massage and Warm Bamboo Massage to my skill set. I continue to share Yoga with others and I explore my own healing through Yoga, Ayurveda, and having regular treatments with other practitioners.

​

I have recently returned to Canada after living and working in Europe and the UK for the past 6 years and am excited to bring my experience and passion to the local community of Lethbridge.

​

I enjoy educating clients around posture, alignment and how to optimise tissue health so the effects of the treatment will have long lasting results.  The treatment itself is a combination of deep tissue work, balancing of structural muscles, and relaxation techniques woven throughout. My hope is that you leave feeling relaxed and with less tension then when you arrived. Homecare and exercises will be suggested so that you are able to feel empowered to take care of your body between treatments.

​

When I am not working you will find me out in the garden, exploring the outdoors and hanging out with my Husband and our Daughter.

​

It is truly a joy and honour to work with my clients on their healing journey and I hope to support you as well.
