As a Massage Therapist, I believe in a holistic approach to treatment, wherein the best way to address somebody’s injury is through the root cause. It’s often a surprise to people (and myself to this day) that the cause of their dysfunction is not usually where they think it is. I work with an adaptable mindset and according to the client’s needs, which can be with both a light and/or firm touch. Whether the Client needs a fast paced sports treatment (which I prefer!), craniosacral and/or a more fascial approach to calm their nervous system; my mission is to help people get back to what they love doing as their best selves.

Growing up, I was always involved in sports, whether it was taekwondo, Olympic fencing, or a pick up game of basketball, leading to me finally finding my place in the fast growing sport of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. My sport-filled upbringing sparked my fascination with how people move, especially during the events I participated in and attended. After observing my friends sustain injuries during our training sessions, and wanting to have the ability to help, and in addition to my Uncle’s influence as a Physiotherapist, I was inspired me to move towards a career in sports rehabilitation. Initially, I wanted to follow in my Uncle’s footsteps directly into Physiotherapy, but I soon discovered Massage Therapy, and loved the idea of how much more involved Massage Therapists usually are during a treatment session. I seem to have a knack for treating hip, low back and shoulder injuries. I love challenge of deciphering people’s bodies to relieve the tensions of life, but am especially intrigued by sporting injuries with athletes, specifically those who practice contact sports.

Outside of work you’ll find me at my martial arts club, practicing high level Brazilian Jiu-jitsu andor jumping into the cold waters of Lynn Canyon. I also enjoy rock climbing, CrossFit, cooking, baking, and working on my strength and conditioning so I can do more intense activities.
