MOT, RMT

Throughout my life, I have seen and interacted with so many people who have been disabled or even crippled from their daily jobs and activities to know that everyone needs a little bit of self-care. Treat your mind and body the way it deserves to be treated and follow me on a New Health Journey.

As a Manual Osteopathic Therapist, our philosophy states that “the human body has the capability to protect, repair and regenerate itself to preserve its function”. However, sometimes it might just need a little nudge in the right direction for it to heal more effectively and efficiently. Using the different systems of the body as a whole, we can formulate a personalized treatment plan specifically to help you achieve the goals you want in your health.

As a Registered Massage Therapist, I believe that every muscle in the body tells a story. It can hold tension and stress long after it's gone. It can hold emotions and energy where it's no longer needed. And by releasing the baggage or memories of trauma in the body, it would allow you to live life to the fullest.

My areas of focus include realigning the body structurally such as osteoarticulation, visceral manipulation, and soft tissue manipulation.

Outside of my clinical practice, I like to live both actively and artistically. From teaching partner dancing to creating music in my home studio, I strive to keep my passions constantly growing, allowing me to enjoy every moment of my life and I hope I can do the same for you too.
