Practice Approach

Holding space for regeneration and rest is as important as restoring function and range of motion, and so I honor relaxation and de-stressing as valid treatment objectives. I approach “relaxation” through both a neurophysiological and intelligent design lens; this entails deep diving into many topics through research papers, courses, studying of ancient and traditional medicine, and community. I am driven to profoundly understand the mechanisms and shifts that take place through human contact and everyday experiences.

I recognize the body’s self-healing capacities and I loyally support its singular mission: to maintain equilibrium (homeostasis).

I’ve been fortunate to have worked with diverse groups as a coach, college instructor, producer, student, and artist outside of my practice.

Professional Development

In 2017, I earned a diploma and a hospital specialization certificate through the Canadian College of Massage and Hydrotherapy. I am a member in good standing with the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario, the Canadian Academy of Pain Management, Registered Massage Therapists Association of Ontario, and Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Radio, and Television Artists.

I currently study Medical Anthropology and Sociology at University of Toronto St. George campus, and I have taught neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, and manual skills to college students and massage therapists.

I hold certifications in Advanced Sports Techniques and Clinical Skin Care Therapy, and have advanced my education in Temporomandibular Disorders. My special interests are chronic pain management, sound meditation facilitation, and neurophysiology as a lens through which we can examine our everyday lives.
