About

With two decades of experience in energy healing, an athletic background, and a deep connection to the physical body, I work at the intersection of science and spirituality—recognizing that, at our core, we are energy. As a Registered Massage Therapist with training in Somatic Touch and the Emotion Code, I bring a strong foundation in anatomy and physiology, along with a deep understanding of how trauma can become stored in our joints, organs, and muscles.

My path has been an ever-evolving journey, shaped by curiosity, lived experience, and a calling to understand the body on all levels. I’ve always felt spiritual and grounded, with a sense that I viewed the world a little differently. That inner awareness sparked my personal healing journey in 1996 and has been a guiding light ever since. Over the years, I’ve practiced expanding my awareness beyond the physical—being on the receiving end of energy healing, cultivating my own awareness of going within. This developed my intuition, it allows me to feel into my body, sensing the alignment, and imbalances of organs, glands and tissues—insights I now use in service to others.

In 2006, while studying energy healing in Vancouver, BC, I discovered how powerfully energy can be moved through thought and breath alone. The work came naturally to me. During sessions with classmates, I was able to move energy with surprising ease—guided not by technique, but by presence and deep awareness. What I’ve come to understand is that energy work is far more than balancing chakras or processing emotions—it’s about exploring the deeper imbalances in the anatomical systems in the body, for example the endocrine system which is most affected by trauma.

“It was during this time, I began to understand that I was embarked on a journey of far greater magnitude than I had ever imagined, opening myself up to a significantly heightened awareness of consciousness as we know it.”

Energy healing encompasses many facets—it’s not just about healing or balancing chakras, but about cultivating and strengthening the powerful energy centers within us. We are composed of dynamic energy systems, such as the kundalini, life force (Chi), and the pineal gland or the Heart—each holding immense potential. These centers operate through polarities that activate and amplify their power. We don’t just live in our bodies physically; we inhabit an intricate and intelligent energetic system that is deeply responsive, aware, and wise.

My fascination with the human experience also led me into the world of extreme sports and the drive to exercise. The draw wasn’t just the adventure—it was the rush of endorphins and adrenaline, the feeling of being completely alive while pushing past physical limits. Whether soaring off a jump at Whistler Bike Park or riding trails with abandon, I chased that natural high. But those moments also brought lessons in surrender, and sometimes injury—each one teaching me more about the nervous system, the body’s thresholds, and the healing process.

Much of my understanding of the central nervous system has come not only from research and working with clients over the years, but also from my own lived experience. Having sustained multiple concussions and neck injuries, I’ve gained firsthand insight into the healing process—and how it can inform the way I support others with similar challenges. Recovering from these injuries gave me the opportunity to witness how the brain naturally recalibrates its energy, especially through the influence of the vagus nerve as it responds to the environment. This deepened awareness has shaped my own healing and allowed me to guide others with greater empathy, presence, and a profound respect for the intelligence of the nervous system.

Becoming a massage therapist in 2016 was a turning point. Although I didn’t realize it at the time, it marked the beginning of the work I had been preparing for all along. My understanding of fascia—the connective tissue that holds the body’s structure—as well as the lymphatic and cranial rhythms that regulate the craniosacral system, became central to my approach. Through ongoing study and personal exploration, I began to weave together traditional knowledge with my energetic awareness. This integrative approach allows me to support each individual in returning to a sense of safety, homeostasis, and inner alignment.

At the heart of everything I do is a simple truth: healing happens when we listen. When we meet the body with attention, presence, and compassion, we open space for transformation to unfold.
