I've been practicing in the healing arts since 2001. I began my journey as a Registered Massage Therapist. Pursuing a natural ability and understanding for human conditions of suffering, stress, various aliments of the body and the ability to heal with the power of touch, stillness and compassion. In 2004, I took Traditional Thai massage in Thailand, expanding my understanding of the body and mind. This adventure evolved my perception of healing and the power of mindfulness. I practiced Traditional Thai massage for 8 years but I no longer practice the modality in its traditional form. My massage practice has been enlightening, transformative and I am forever grateful to serve my community. I've had a variety of experience/knowledge gained from practicing for 23+ years, e.g., Motor Vehicle Accidents, Pre-post natal, sport and overuse injuries, arthritis and postural problems. The majority of my treatments focus on therapeutic/relaxation techniques, acupressure, deep tissue, trigger point therapy and elements of Thai massage. I am so pleased to be offering Reiki since 2020.
My personal practice of yoga was inspired initially for wellness as a Massage Therapist and met my passion for dance as an equal. The power of yoga became clear in all aspects of my life. I took my teacher training in 2010 at Prana Yoga Studio in Edmonton(200-Hour Akhanda Yoga-Holistic Hatha). I was grateful for this time to deepen my practice and expand my abilities to enhance my wellness and share with others. For the last decade I have been teaching private sessions in my studio, in home visits and teach pre registered classes. I Cherish the opportunities to create a wellness refuge for my family and community. I have continued my learning with courses in Yoga Therapy, assisting/adjustments and meditation-Certified Lifestyle meditation teacher in 2016, advanced teacher trainings with Yogi Vishvketu.

This year marks 23 years of my “Massage Practice”
After I began practicing massage in 2002, it sparked radical changes in my way of life, I was committed to taking care of my body and mind. I live by Gandhi’s quote
“Be the change you wish to see in the world”
I first began with mindfulness practices in 2002/2003 and my Trip to Thailand for Traditional Thai massage consecrated the journey in mindfulness. 2010 my yoga teacher training opened new doors, 2016 Meditation teacher training gave me confidence in all of my practices and prepared me for becoming a mother in Oct 2016. Now it’s time to share!
