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 share of injuries and repetitive stress, including a major knee injury in 2019 that became the catalyst for change. That journey led me to massage school and certification in NeuroKinetic Therapy (NKT), the primary modality I use to better understand what’s happening specifically within your body.
I know firsthand how frustrating and challenging recovery can be. Returning to the activities you love—and doing so with less pain—takes time, patience, and consistency. My own experience gave me a deeper appreciation for the body’s resilience and what it’s capable of overcoming.
As a treatment-based massage therapist, my goal is not to “fix” you, but to support and guide you through the recovery process. Together, we’ll identify underlying patterns contributing to pain or dysfunction, while incorporating personalized at-home exercises and care recommendations to support progress between sessions.
I enjoy working with all populations because everyone deserves to feel good in their body.
