The power of healing touch. Healing touch is looked at scientifically and intuitively. It is a balance of what you can see, feel, sense and “just know”. MASSAGE INCORPORATES HEALING TOUCH, and builds a bridge between physical and emotional healing. Reiki Therapy is a flow of COMPASSIONATE healing energy that expands that bridge into more pathways.

I grew up in the Comox Valley, very connected with nature, the animals on our farm, and naturally drawn to make meaningful connections with people. My first serious career was as a support worker for children and youth with special needs. The concept of “healing” held a deep and INTENTIONAL meaning for me after I experienced significant distress in my personal life and progressive burnout while being a support worker.

I experimented with many ways to heal the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual layers in myself through the stages of time: making more connections with people. Creative writing. Essential oils. A herbal and dietary cleanse. Yoga and Muay Thai. Riding my motorbike. Connecting more with nature. Slowing down to practice awareness of my state of being.

I experienced a lot of MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN during this time as a stress response. I found it was best relieved through movement, lowering stress, and manual therapies. As I experienced repeated massage, it became one of the most effective methods of releasing stress built up in my soft tissue, joints and nervous system.

The body can hold TRAUMA, and it can be “layered” in the physical body, but also in the emotional and mental being. My experiences with Reiki Therapy touched me very deeply. I felt seen, soothed, re-centred, and unconditionally cared for. Highly supported. I felt like I could “get back up”. A few months later, I was drawn to learn Reiki as a supporting my way of life, and train to offer it to other people.

In 2018, I moved to Windsor, Ontario. It was there that I became certified in Reiki Therapy taught by Revival Through Hands. In 2019, my long-pondered idea of massage therapy just “clicked”. It aligned with the HEART OF HEALING I was creating in my way of life as well as what I wanted to create for other people. This was when I took the leap and applied to a local Massage and Hydrotherapy program. In 2021, I graduated from the Canadian College of Health Science and Technology. A year later, devastating circumstances gave me a push to return home to the Comox Valley and build my practice there.

My HOPE and INTENTION is that all patients receive deepened peace and wellness through their experience; that they become more aware of their bodies and state of being. I endeavour to boost my patients to RESTORING balance and function within their bodies, and to EMPOWER them to continue to care for themselves.

Thank you sincerely for entrusting me with supporting your wellness.
