Prior to my journey as an RMT I worked in the service industry. Working with people brings me great joy and at one point in my serving career I realized I wasn’t contributing to the community in a mindful and health focused fashion. It was time for a change. learning about the body and its systems in a way to benefit the people around me was the shift I was looking for. After graduating at VCMT from the 3000-hour program in 2013 I have been consistently practicing in Burnaby. In my practice I feel it’s my privilege to facilitate a healing environment and to encourage people to incorporate health and wellness in their everyday lives. Massage is a great way to start and continue your wellness journey. From general well being, stress management, postural concerns, and restoring functional movement to aiding in recovery from whiplash, surgery, sprains, strains, and pregnancy massage, my skills are varied, and client driven. Listening to my clients and creating a treatment plan they feel comfortable with is paramount, I believe that is where the healing begins. When I’m not focusing on my practice I’m often found in the kitchen or in my garden. eating healthy wholesome food is important to me. I also like to snowboard and enjoy exploring BC’s wilderness with my husband when we have the chance.
