Currently training in the Trager approach
Learn more about me After seeking treatment in many avenues of health and alternative treatments for numerous injuries and persistent joint pain, it was a skilled Kinetic therapist that started teaching me about the movement patterns in the body and how connected things really are. It was then that I realized I wanted to be able to bring this to more people. I started on my journey at Kiné-Concept in 2015 studying Swedish Massage. I wanted to get more in depth training and learn how to work gently, but effectively, with the body and the nervous system. I continued my studies in Fascia Therapy, Cranio-Sacral Therapy, Prenatal Massage, and a training in dealing with Trauma through massage. This lead me to my most recent training, soon to be completed, in the Trager approach. A somatic therapy that works through gentle rocking and movements to unlock habits and patterns in the body that are causing discomfort and to bring a bigger range of motion and relaxation. I am fascinated by the impact that stress has on the body. From the tiny daily stressors toCPTSD, and mechanical stresses and compensations; it all impacts our bodies. I intend to continue my studies down the avenue of holistically working with the body's movement patterns and stress responses to help restore balance and provide longer term solutions.

For any subsequent appointments we will simply take a few moments at the start of each session to discuss your goals for the session. ​ Therapeutic and Prenatal massages are done with oil applied directly to the skin.
