One of my biggest accomplishments as an endurance athlete was training for the 2015 BC Bike Race—a grueling 7-day staged mountain bike race. I dedicated nine months to training, and every bit of that work paid off. Crossing the finish line each day was an incredible reminder of just how strong and capable the body can become with consistency, determination, and grit.

As a lifelong athlete and outdoor enthusiast, I’ve experienced my fair share of knee injuries—one in 2019 being especially significant and ultimately becoming the catalyst for change. That journey led me to massage school and eventually to becoming certified in NeuroKinetic Therapy. I know firsthand what it feels like to be sidelined by injury and how long and challenging the road to recovery can be. Returning to the activities you love—and doing them with as little pain as possible—isn’t easy.

In the moment, it can feel frustrating and discouraging, but those experiences have a way of making you stronger. My own comeback gave me a deeper appreciation for what my body is capable of and everything it allows me to do. I didn’t grow up playing organized sports—I simply loved being outside. My passion for cycling began with road biking, evolved into riding dirt bikes, and eventually expanded to include mountain biking as well.

The turning point for me was a dirt bike injury in 2019 that completely changed the direction of my life. It not only shifted my career path, but also challenged my identity as an athlete. Injuries have a way of testing you in every sense, and the hardest moments often push you further than you ever thought possible. I still have difficult days, but the one thing that has remained constant through it all is the resilience built through consistency and strength training.
My goal is not to “fix” you, but to support and guide you through your recovery process. Healing takes time, patience, and consistency. When we work together, I take the time to understand what’s happening within your body and identify the underlying patterns contributing to discomfort or dysfunction. Each session also includes personalized at-home exercises and care recommendations to help support your progress between treatments. I love working with all populations because we all want to feel good in our body, no matter your background.
