I graduated with academic honours from the massage therapy program at Mohawk College (Hamilton, Ontario) in December 2017. I joined the team at Innova in early 2020.

Massage therapy sessions are customized to your therapeutic goals and preferences. Myofascial technique is prevalent in my treatment style. I’ve found this technique to be effective at reducing and managing persistent pain, and improving range of motion. As well I incorporate breath work and mindful movement into sessions when appropriate. To treat effectively I consider the whole person, and use assessment to inform my treatment.

I have a master’s of science from McMaster University (Hamilton, Ontario), and thoroughly enjoyed the decade I spent working as an ornithologist (person who studies birds) prior to becoming a massage therapist. I’ve also worked as sea-kayaking instructor and trip guide, and have my yoga teacher training certification. I volunteer in my community at Little Bit Therapeutic Riding Centre.

Whether it’s because we have shared values or interests, or that you consider my experience and skills well-suited to your therapeutic goals, I look forward to meeting you and hope I can be of assistance.
