I am pleased to be a part of the Step Up team and looking forward to meeting and building the community.

Over the past 20+ years, I have had the privilege of working with some great doctors and therapists who have influenced my career. From multidisciplinary clinics to a destination spa, I understand the value of both rehabilitation and relaxation focused treatments. Also courses such as Reiki and Thai massage have enabled me to expand my techniques.

My experience allows your treatment to range from long-term focused (eg concussion/mobility concerns) to short-term focused (eg recent injury/weekend warrior) to relaxation focused (eg feeling tired/stressed). General focus (full body relaxation) to specific (head and neck only). Or likely a combination.

Unfortunately, I have experienced many injuries myself, from sitting too long/driving (positional) to computer work (repetitive use) to sport injuries (impact). Fortunately, this has led me to meet many different doctors and therapists, learn the theories and experience rehabilitation.

Throughout the years, I learned that life is dynamic and plans can change. The same client may request a different style of treatment now and again, same with a couple or family member relative to one another.

Formally, I received a Massage Therapy Diploma from Canadian Therapeutic College (Burlington, On.) after receiving a Bachelor of Kinesiology from McMaster University (where I had an interest in biomechanics: the study of human movement).

Thank you for your time and hope you are ready for some care in your therapy.
