I am a registered massage therapist (RMT) , and I am practicing out of Nelson, BC. I graduated in 2019 here in Nelson, and have enjoyed helping locals improve functionality so they can pursue the endless adventures that the Kootenay’s has to offer!
A genuine passion for wanting to help people led me to the health profession. I know first hand the transformative power of manual therapy. Massage therapy is an approach that encompasses so many spectrums in the therapeutic arts, and requires both skill and intuition offering. When it comes to pain management of soft tissue dysfunction, having an effective, personalized plan is imperative to the healing process. It requires trust and respect, and is the foundation that allows the process of moving toward the desired outcome.
I will customize a plan to create long-term benefits and I encourage my clients to feel empowered to participate in their own physical and mental health through personalized home-care for their own particular needs.
My hope is to be a part of your journey by offering you the tools that will help promote wellbeing in a holistic way.
Being a part of someone’s journey is both an inspiration and an honour. Our body is essential to our existence, we must take care of it.

I am a Registered Acupuncturist dedicated to helping patients achieve balance and wellness through the lens of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
With the use of modalities such as acupuncture, tui na (Chinese massage), fire cupping, gua sha (scraping) and moxibustion, I am able to tailor each treatment to provide personalized care. TCM is incredible in treating a wide range of conditions such as insomnia, digestive issues, stress and reproductive health, to name only a few. As a graduate from the Acupuncture program at Kootenay Columbia College, I have a deep understanding of the ancient healing arts which facilitates the treatment of the root cause of illness and not just the presenting symptoms.
I believe a safe environment enhances one’s healing, and so I take pride in providing a gentle and compassionate approach to the medicine, allowing patients to feel heard and supported. I look forward to joining you on your healing journey
