Freedom of movement allows freedom of self. Whether that means playing with your children, crushing a workout, or frolicking in nature, we were meant to move - that’s why it’s called move-meant! Together, let’s talk about what that looks like for you, identify your goals, and embark on a journey toward them.

My own journey started as a child when I played many sports, overcame injuries, and felt how physical limitations affected my ability to move and be myself. During my first ecstatic dance, I discovered what it meant to truly move freely, and felt how I had been limiting my self.

This inspired me to study Kinesiology at the University of Waterloo, Massage Therapy at Sutherland-Chan, and now Osteopathy at Southern Ontario College of Osteopathy. I keep taking courses to gather practical information from my experiences. I believe that understanding our health is the most important thing we can do, and I am constantly integrating new information to upgrade my practice.

Through a combination of clinical assessment and intuition, I craft a specialized approach that draws upon manual therapy techniques like Swedish, deep tissue, muscle energy, myofascial, joint play, and trigger point release in combination with breath, mindfulness, and neurology. My intention is to offer a welcoming, easeful, non-judgemental sanctuary that soothes the soul, calms the mind, and allows the body to speak. Only by listening, can we create the ideal conditions that facilitate its innate healing abilities.
