Meet the team
I have grown-up all-over Canada. Quite literally. I was born in Vancouver, and have been all the way to Newfoundland and everywhere in between. Now, I have found my forever home here in Toronto. I even found a neighbourhood to settle into. Leslieville. Couldn't have been happier with this choice.
I decided to pursue massage as a career at Sutherland-Chan College of Massage Therapy. There I was able to learn the skills to treat musculoskeletal needs with Swedish massage, deep tissue, hydrotherapy, therapeutic exercises, postural assessments, joint mobilizations, fascial work, and self-care. This has allowed me to help a wide variety of clients on their journey to living their best life.
With massage I can help you with achieve relaxation in your mind and body, reduce stress, reduce pain, rehabilitate an old or new injury, get to the root cause of your issue and more.
As some point during all of this my sister had her first baby and I was so happy. I got to attend the birth and it was the most amazing thing I have ever been able to experience. I was so overwhelmed with love and support for my sister and her new family. With my sisters 3rd, she asked me to be her Doula. I looked into what a Doula does and I realized I have been doing that and wanted to do that for others. I wanted to be there for other people during this major life changing moment in their lives. I was saddened by how many people experienced trauma from their birthing experience. But I was hopeful because evidence shows again and again that having someone there for you helps reduce the trauma experience. I wanted to be there for other parents like I was there for my little sister. I want to help decrease birthing trauma. I want to help make a wonderful time in peoples lives a good experience for everyone involved.

So that means I am a cat person? I'm an animal person. I just happen to have a cat and no other pets. But I love all animals. They are the best. If you have a pet, feel free to show me a picture of them because I am always happy to see pet photos. ♥

Honestly I love being a massage therapist. Being able to use my hands to help people feel better? How cool is that?! Whenever I play Dungeons and Dragons (yes I am a nerd hahaha) I always play a healer. I find being able to help people live in their bodies with less pain and more efficiently is very soul fulfilling. It's like magic.
