RMT
As a Registered Massage Therapist I am trained to the standards of the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario. Furthermore, I have a few specialties which enhance my practice. Listed below are the main modalities I find the most effective in treating my patients.
-
NeuroKinetic Therapy - Level 3 Certified
NeuroKinetic Therapy (NKT) is a transformative approach that recalibrates the communication between your nervous system and body. After surgery, injury, or repetitive movements like golf or pitching, the optimal pathways that connect your brain and body can become disrupted. This often leads to compensation patterns, causing pain in one area that may not actually originate there. By incorporating NKT into my treatments, I help restore between the brain and body, ensuring they communicate effectively for optimal healing.

CranioSacral Therapy - Level 2
The late Dr. John Upledger D.O. was a pioneer of his time. He discovered the CranioSacral System while assisting a Neurologist during surgery during the 1970's. The CrainioSacral system itself only moves about 2 millimetres every 6-12 seconds. My patients affectionally call this my "Voodoo Magic" technique because it is so gentle, yet effective, you can barely feel what I'm doing while I'm doing it. I have been using CST since 2008 and absolutely love the results it brings to my patients! CST is fantastic for anyone who has suffered a concussion, fall to the tailbone, has had braces, an epidural, has had spinal surgery, facial surgery or any other major impact to their body such as a car accident, bungee jumping or high impact sports.

Visceral Manipulation Level 2
Visceralulation, developed by Osteopathic Doctor Jean-Pierre Barral, is specialized manual therapy that focuses on the fascial movement of the internal abdominal organs and their connections throughout the body. Each organ plays a vital role in digestion, and when their associated structures, like ligaments and sphincters, are not functioning optimally, it can lead to various health issues. For instance, the liver is anchored by seven ligaments, one of which connects to the right shoulder. Therefore, if a patient experiences right shoulder pain, it's essential to consider the liver's influence on that dysfunction. Additionally, Visceral Manipulation significantly enhances overall nervous system function, positively impacting stress levels and promoting well-being.

Schweitzers Deep Tissue Therapy
Discover the innovative Deep Tissue Therapy technique developed by Gary Schweitzer, designed specifically for therapists to ensure ergonomic safety and extend the longevity of our careers as Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs). By utilizing my body weight instead of sheer strength, I can effectively penetrate deep into your tissues, reaching beyond surface without causing any harm. I'm grateful to have found this transformative approach just a year after starting my practice in 2007, and it been my go-to method ever since!
-
Manual Lymph Drainage
Manual Lymph Drainage is a comprehensive treatment designed to unblock and activate the major lymph nodes in your body. By stimulating vital clusters, we open the pathways for lymph to effectively transport waste out of your system. Think of it like cleaning a fish tank; scrubbing away algae from one corner won't do the trick. Just as the entire tank needs be cleaned for it to be truly clear, your body benefits from a thorough lymphatic cleanse, allowing time for the to be filtered out.
If you have any condition that ends in "it is", you need MLD
If you have digestive issues, you need MLD
If you suffer from headaches/migraines or brain fog, you need MLD
...And the list continues!

Reiki 2nd Degree
Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key) is a Japanese originated energy healing modality in which the practitioner hovers or uses light touch of the hands on the client. The word Reiki means "spiritually guided life force energy". This energy is the universal life force energy present in all living things. Reiki combines the healing, loving power of touch with life-force energy. It is a method of hands-on healing that can be used on oneself or in treating others.
It stimulates and accelerates the natural healing potential of the body.
It is a restorative treatment that renews and balances the mind, body, spirit, and emotions.
It enhances and compliments other forms of healthcare, and never interferes.
I have found this most useful and effective for my patients who suffer from headaches and migraines.
