“I have always had a strong belief in preventative medicine and a holistic approach of “body, mind and spirit”. This belief led me to the first step of my journey in the health care profession, studying Jin Shin Do Acupressure. The psychotherapy aspect of Acupressure intrigued me the most, as it allowed me to experience for the first time how working to heal the emotional aspects a person is experiencing or releasing unresolved emotion can contribute to healing the entire being of a person. The principle of collectively healing. After graduating in 1997, I took my knowledge and headed south to live and work as a therapist in the Sierra Madres in Mexico.

The next phase of my journey began two years later, when I returned to Canada and applied to the West Coast College of Massage Therapy (WCCMT), where I spent three years.

I have completed the Craniosacral Therapy (CST) Level I & II, Somato Emotional Release (SER) CST Level III & IV, and Advanced Level I. SER takes CST to the next level looking how emotion can be trapped into tissue during a trauma to the physical being.

In January 2008, three and a half years after my graduation, I returned to WCCMT to become an clinical outreach instructor. This has been an incredibly rewarding experience for me. I love sharing my knowledge and experience with the students, and learning from the students as well.

I feel that this encompasses collective healing on a deeper level.”
