RMT, YTT 200hr & Yin Yoga Teacher

From an early age, I felt an undeniable calling towards healing, specifically in the field of massage therapy. However, for many years, I sought guidance from the wrong sources when contemplating this significant shift and it wasn't until I had a conversation with a passionate Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) that my trajectory took a transformative turn.

Understanding the vital role of the Parasympathetic Nervous System (PNS) in healing, I recognize the importance of creating a space that facilitates a PNS state. This allows the body to relax and engage in the 'rest and digest' mode, which is unattainable in a state of fight or flight. Each session begins by establishing a sense of safety, ensuring that you are in control at all times. You have the autonomy to modify your treatment as needed, and open communication about anything that enhances your comfort in the space is encouraged. Consent is an integral and consistent aspect of the treatment process whether its your first treatment with me, or tenth.

In addressing pain within your specific limitations, I employ techniques that work harmoniously with your nervous system. This approach allows for effective treatment while respecting your body's natural pain tolerance, preventing any increased discomfort from overly intense techniques in the days following.

In December of 2020, I received a diagnosis of RRMS, a neurodegenerative disease affecting the central nervous system. This revelation prompted a deep dive into understanding and safeguarding my own nervous system, instilling in me a profound respect for the well-being of others.

Excitement fuels my commitment to collaborating with you in achieving your therapeutic goals, whether through fascial work, trigger point relief, or simply providing a secure space for you to unwind and sleep during your treatment, should that be what your body requires.

My deep love for massage is undeniable, yet I am conscious of the limitations my body faces with MS. Recognizing the need to expand my skills beyond massage to ensure both my professional fulfillment and the safety of my body, I embarked on a journey to explore additional modalities to add to my repertoire. Since September 2023, I have been dedicatedly pursuing my Acupuncture Accreditation at Grant MacEwan University, with an expected graduation in the Class of 2026. This commitment reflects my unwavering passion for the field and my determination to adapt and thrive despite the challenges posed by my health condition.

From my earliest memories, I've been driven by a desire to understand my purpose in life. When I was just a young child, I turned to my mom for guidance, and she wisely directed me to inquire within myself. Taking a quiet moment, I asked the profound question of what my purpose was, and the resounding answer that echoed back was a simple yet powerful one: to help people.

My journey into the realm of health and wellness began at the age of 19, but at that point, the specific career path was still unclear. Following the counsel of my parents, I pursued Human Resources at NAIT, earning my diploma in 2016. Post-graduation, I embarked on a transformative adventure, exploring countries like Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and various regions of Peru. This enriching experience laid the foundation for my next educational pursuit: holistic nutrition at the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition.

Following my studies in holistic nutrition, my quest for self-discovery and a deeper understanding of holistic practices led me to Bali, Indonesia. It was there that I immersed myself in a rigorous 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training program at Blooming Lotus Yoga. This experience, both challenging and profound, allowed me to fully embrace and integrate the yoga lifestyle while navigating my own healing journey. The journey continued as I completed a 50-hour intensive meditation course, during which I took a vow of silence for a week, engaging in meditation, yoga, reading, sleeping, and simply being. The beauty of this experience left an indelible mark on my soul.

Upon returning home, I delved into energy healing, obtaining training in all three levels of Usui Reiki, Violet Flame Reiki, and, most recently, Karuna Reiki. Since 2019, I've been actively practicing Reiki, driven by a deep desire to share this gift and its profound healing effects with others.

Currently, I'm furthering my education at Grant MacEwan University, enrolled in the acupuncture program. My insatiable love for learning and unwavering passion for health and wellness continue to guide my journey. From that pivotal moment in my childhood, I've known that my life's purpose is to help others, and that commitment remains at the core of everything I do.
