I believe with safety and support in patient-centred and trauma-informed care, our body and our wise nervous system have the inate ability to heal. She gently encourages curiosity of the sensations and signals in your body that are informing us and how we can collaborate in your healing journey. With the safety of your nervous system my highest priority she does NOT offer traditional/conventional “deep tissue” massages ; when indicated we can work together with deep lying structures that can have a profound affect on your nervous system. She does incorporate many techniques including: Myofascial release, Craniosacral therapy, Muscle Energy, Neuromuscular therapy, Visceral and invitations for home care.
When not working she’s cycling with her family around Victoria, experimenting in her kitchen, playing soccer or escaping with a good book.”
