I love my job because:
I worked in warehousing for over a decade. I found this work to be very unfulfilling and both mentally and physically exhausting. Since I was young I’d always known I wanted to help people, but life circumstances led me in a different direction. I left my last career with a desire to help people and be more fulfilled. I am happy I get to help my clients achieve a better quality of life by decreasing stress, increasing relaxation, and providing therapy to people with health conditions or new and old injuries.
See me if:
You need to relax or de-stress. I also enjoy working with individuals of all ages that may have had a recent or previous injury. I have experience treating people with chronic pain, palliative care patients, reducing scars from surgery or injuries, post-concussion, and a variety of other conditions.
I believe in:
Treating and viewing the body as a whole. A lot of pain can come from muscular imbalances and posture compensations. By identifying the structures that may be contributing to a person’s pain, we can begin to decrease the pain they experience and increase their quality of life. I believe in strong communication. By using my knowledge, skills and experience, my clients and I work as a team to get them back to a functional level. This way, the pain or reduced mobility they experience does not prevent them from enjoying things like being more active, enjoying family and friends or have more confidence in being mobile.
I enjoy:
Being outdoors in nature. I find the quiet of nature is my happy place. Getting out of the city and away from the fast pace of life helps recharge my batteries so I can be the best I can be to both myself and my clients.
