Hello qathet community,

I feel deeply honoured to be offering my practice and holding a safe and supportive space in this community. I completed my  Bachelors of Kinesiology with a minor in Psychology at the University of British Columbia in 2020. Since then I have continued to pursue a deeper understanding of health and wellness and how we can nurture our mind, body, and spirit in a holistic way. Ultimately this led me to complete my Manual Osteopathic Therapy program through the Manual Osteopathic College of Canada. 

Osteopathic therapy is an art and a science, rooted in a deep understanding of anatomy and physiology and the interrelatedness of all body systems. Osteopathy is concerned with supporting the body’s innate ability to self-heal and regulate through gentle hands on treatment.  It is used to reverse mechanical shifts that have occurred in the body over time from physical, emotional, and spiritual trauma. Manual osteopathic therapy aims to treat the root cause of dysfunction to restore balance to all body systems. 

Osteopathic therapy can help with a wide range of conditions including but not limited to injury recovery, postural imbalances, low back pain, sciatica, pelvic imbalances, digestive issues, whiplash, headaches, sleep disturbances, stress, and anxiety. Treatment involves an integrated approach, working with the musculoskeletal framework, the fascia, the viscera, and the lymphatic, and nervous systems. 

It’s important to me to create a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment for all. The values that I continually orient towards in my practice include curiosity, openness, compassion, empathy, and patience.

I was born and raised in northern BC and moved to the beautiful sunshine coast three years ago. What nourishes my heart and soul outside of this work includes spending time in nature, hiking, kayaking, gardening, and making art.
