My independent practice was born out of my own healing journey. In 2014, a debilitating back injury left me bedridden for six months, experiencing excruciating pain that made even the smallest movements unbearable. I turned to remedial aquatic therapy to regain my strength, but my search for answers didn’t stop there—I wanted to understand what was happening in my body. What were trigger points? Why did I have so many? And why was I in so much pain?

This search led me down an unexpected path, exploring a wide range of therapies—from Chiropractic care and Craniosacral Therapy to Dry Needling and Traditional Chinese Medicine. As I healed, I found a deep appreciation for the body’s ability to recover with the right care and support. However, I could no longer return to my previous work in organic food packing and warehousing. This shift in my life opened a new door: I qualified for Ontario’s Second Career program, which allowed me to pursue a two-year education in Massage Therapy at Algonquin College.

During my final year of studies, life threw me another challenge—I sustained a concussion, forcing me to take a year off and extend my education. Learning became a struggle. I relied on a note-taker, wore a hat to shield myself from classroom lights, and simply focused on being present. Step by step, I adapted, and in 2019, I successfully completed my exams and earned my registration as a Massage Therapist.

After working in several clinics, I realized that the traditional clinic setting didn’t align with my vision of care. I wanted to create a space that prioritized individualized, restorative therapy—one that honored the body’s natural healing process. In 2021, I took a leap and started my own independent practice in Carleton Place.

Now, my approach blends my personal experiences with a deep understanding of the body’s structure, function, and healing potential. I integrate evidence-based techniques with intuitive, hands-on care, offering treatments that support recovery, movement, and well-being. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, recovering from an injury, or simply seeking relaxation, I’m here to provide a space where your body can heal, strengthen, and flourish.
