I have been ‘having your back’ as a Registered Massage Therapist in St. Catharines since 2003.

Since graduating with honors at Canadian Therapeutic College of Massage and Hydrotherapy Program in 2003, I have strived to stay current with my skills through regular continuing education.

                                                     

-I am in good standing of the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario and am an active member of the Registered Massage Therapy Association of Ontario. I was also an executive member and meeting facilitator for the Niagara RMT’s professional development group.

-I have recently completed the S2LGBTQIA+ Education for RMT’s Level 1, 3 & 4, in order to do my upmost to provide a body-positive, trans-friendly space where you can relax and ignore the outside world. 

Some of the many continuing education certificates I have earned include: Walt Fritzs’ ‘Foundations in Myofascial release seminar for Voice, Speech and Swallowing disorders’, ‘TMJ Mastery with John Corry’, Inside the Vagus Nerve, RockTape, Positional Release, Ultrasound and Tens, Cupping Therapy, Hot Stone Massage, Muscle Energy Technique, Acupressure.  I was also invited to be a teaching assistant for the MFR foundations course and have an interest in continually growing my toolkit of skills towards better enhancing my TMJ treatments.

Hosting Couples Massage events has been a fun way to show others how to use the healing power of touch. In the community, I  spent 3 years as a board member for the Family and Children’s Services Foundation. I enjoy running and have participated in the CIBC run for the cure and the Sporting Life 10k . Having worked for 8 years as an Early Childhood Educator prior to becoming an RMT, I find it to be a great foundation in providing massage treatments to children and youth.  My other hobbies include walking my two dogs, reading epic novels, sailing, and dabbling in art.
