You could say my story starts in Thailand

I was 21 when I received my first Thai massage in Northern Thailand. That single experience sparked something deep in me—a curiosity, a calling, and a lifetime commitment to understanding the body.

I spent over seven years living and studying traditional movement-based therapies in Southeast Asia. I learned through direct experience how the body responds to movement, breath, and focused physical practices—how mobility, release, and alignment are created over time through steady, hands-on practice and attention.

But it wasn’t until I returned home to Canada that I found the language to describe what I had learned through my hands. My training as a Registered Massage Therapist—3,300 hours of clinical education in anatomy, physiology, pathology, and assessment—gave me the structure, clarity, and voice I needed to turn experience into precision.

Today, my work is shaped by both paths: the lived, body-based knowledge of movement, and the clinical skill that allows me to assess, treat, and guide my clients with care and confidence.

I live what I practice—and what I teach. This is not just my profession; it’s the thread that has run through my life for 25 years.
