I grew up in Montreal (je parle francais!) and moved to Vancouver 8 years ago to explore the mountains. East Vancouver has been my home for the past year. I have a master’s degree in psychiatric research and worked for several years on various research projects in psychiatric hospitals. I decided to return to school as the tender age of 38 to pursue massage therapy as I was itching to get out of a seated position in front of the computer. I know all too well the back, neck and shoulder discomfort that comes from hours spent in front of a computer.
I love what I do and am always wanting to learn more. For the time being, I am passionate about sport massage including recovery from injury, the use of stainless tools (IATSM – Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization) for trigger point therapy and to reduce tissue adhesions as well as the use of breath to relax the nervous system. Whether you lead an active lifestyle and want to avoid injuries or simply need a deeply soothing relaxation and regenerating massage, I will gladly adjust accordingly. The time spent on the massage table is for you! When I am not working, I am either on my mountain bike, skiing in the mountains, weight training at the gym or taking care of my new golden doodle puppy, Lucy. I also have a meditation and yoga practice to support my sobriety and overall well-being. |
