ABOUT ME: I hold a Bachelor of Health Science degree from Thompson Rivers University in British Columbia. I have taught musculoskeletal anatomy and kinesiology at the West Coast College of Massage and Hydrotherapy and continue to teach short courses in the Greater Hamilton and Toronto Areas (cramn.ca). Originally from Hamilton, I moved for a number of years to British Columbia, where I founded and ran a multidisciplinary clinic in Metro Vancouver. I returned to Ontario in the summer of 2020 and now treat patients part-time in Burlington.
MY MANUAL APPROACH is rooted in deep tissue and myofascial work with advanced stretching techniques and nerve work as needed. My treatments are generally moderate to very deep pressure combined with a fluid flow. I like to address clinical issues while providing a deeply relaxing treatment.
MY PATIENTS are often people with chronic pain, repetitive strain and other injuries (including soft tissue nerve impingements like false sciatica, thoracic outlet, carpal tunnel, and double crush syndromes), as well as people with psychological/emotional health problems—those experiencing high stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma-related issues, including PTSD and C-PTSD. I treat many first responders and healthcare workers.
Otherwise, if you’re doing fine and just looking to relax and de-stress, I’ve got you covered as well! Many people see me for general relaxation/maintenance treatments.
