Registered Massage Therapy

My approach to healing work involves a deep gratitude for the ways in which our bodies have developed around our limitations, even though it is these patterns that typically bring us into the treatment room. I see my role as a facilitator in the process toward deeper connection and embodiment. It’s no easy task being in a body. We live in a world where we are encouraged to be disconnected from ourselves, each other and the earth. I believe it is a powerful and subversive act to develop a relationship to one’s self. 

For myself, moving toward my own body awareness began in 1999. Since then I have been a typical gemini, dabbling here and there and learning various things along the way, until my hands discovered Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy. Game changer. I completed a 2.5 year in-depth training in Portland in 2012 and have been practicing since then. This work transformed (and continues to transform) my relationship to my body, my compensatory patterns, my family and my community.

Becoming an RMT has greatly deepened my knowledge and respect for the body. It has allowed me access to a whole host of tools for assisting each individual’s healing journey. I am grateful for the excellent education I received at Vancouver College of Massage Therapy.
