I am honoured to offer holistic bodywork sessions from my home studio on Cortes Island, BC. ​
​
My home is circled by ancient Cedar trees - a quiet and nourishing place to rest and receive. ​​
​
​​​​​
​
I have a 2,200 hour Massage Therapy Diploma from the Canadian College of Massage, and over 20+ years of massage therapy experience. I offer holistic bodywork sessions that address physical pain and tension, and spiritual renewal and rejuvenation.
Every bodywork session I give is unique - I take time listen, deeply, to what your system is needing. I integrate many different therapies into each session. I use hot stone massage, deep tissue, myofascial release and trigger point therapy for unwinding and releasing tight and chronic stuck muscles. I also lean into biodynamic craniosacral therapy, reflexology and Ayurveda to support your energetic and spiritual being.

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) is a light-touch, non-manipulative, osteopathic modality that aligns with your systems inherent treatment plan. Our body responds on a very deep level when it is held by skilled hands in a health-oriented, non-directive, and non-judgemental way - a way that listens deeply, without trying to change or fix. BCST is supportive for ​physical and chronic pain conditions, nervous system regulation, sleep disturbances, migraines and headaches, TMJ issues, head injuries and concussions, depression and anxiety, emotional stress and emotional processing, and developmental re-patterning. This treatment is a deeply supportive for nervous system healing and emotional and physical restoration. You will leave restored and renewed. ​​​​​​

Ayurvedic Shirodhara & Abhyanga Treatment
​​​
Abhyanga​
Abhyanga is a 75 min full body hot stone massage.
To begin, warm oil is poured over the entire body including the stomach and sternum. I use long stroke Ayurvedic techniques specifically designed to move and clear stagnant energy. Traditionally called Shila Abhyanga, this treatment offers earth energy through the placement of heated stones on the body. The penetrating warmth of the stones helps to sooth soar and tired muscles, and ground and balance the vata element and the overactive mind, inducing a tranquil and quiet state on the nervous system. To end, energetic points on the body called marma points are stimulated to restore life back to your system.
​​
Shirodhara
Warm oil is poured over the Ajna chakra (or third eye) in a continuous steam for 20 - 30 minutes. This traditional Ayurvedic treatment is called Shirodhara and it aids in calming the mind, clearing stagnant thought patterns and bringing new life into your system. Other benefits include clearing and cleansing through physical and energetic release, and increased vitality and feelings of health and wellbeing for the body, mind and spirit.
