Registered Massage Therapist
She/Her
What are your top skills as a registered massage therapist?
I would say I’m a good listener, and try to connect the dots to get my clients closer to their goals both within our treatment room and beyond.
What kind of approach do you take with clients?
Compassionate and caring (I asked a client friend to answer this 😁)
How would a friend describe you?
High energy, honest, usually always smiling
What drew you to this profession?
The mystery of the body; my mothers always been telling me about how intricate and incredible the systems are and so I finally had to learn for myself!
What lights you up about the work you do?
When I can feel and hear the muscles start to move around more freely ☺️
What motivates you in patient care?
I love to try and create change for the better, and sharing my knowledge with others is a must because that’s how I’ve learned everything in my life.
Can you share some highlights in your background or training?
I received my massage therapy certificate from VCMT, while simultaneously working at a multidisciplinary clinic and working with clients at a home-care centre: I think my empathy went up a bunch of notches.
What's something people might not expect about you?
I am an operatic soprano
Where can we find you when you're not at the clinic?
making art or enjoying nature
What are your non-negotiable heath/wellness practices or rituals?
I must go for a walk everyday and I practice a lot of deep and slow breathing, on top of monthly treatments with my therapists, and in general always finding ways of celebrating my body and mind.
