Registered Massage Therapist
From a very early age I knew I liked to help people feel good. I would massage my family members and friends and I knew that some day I would have a career where I could use massage in combination with my other major interest, fitness. After three years of full time study at the West Coast College of Massage Therapy here in Victoria and successfully completing the College of Massage Therapists of BC Board exams I am now living and loving my dream career.
I have been involved with sports my whole life, namely Rugby, Swimming, Baseball, Volleyball, Surfing and Golf. As an athlete I developed an understanding that teamwork, commitment and training were fundamental to success in life. That understanding and the physical strength I developed as an athlete combined with the knowledge, sensitivity and intuition I cultivated in Massage Therapy College is what I use to help and improve the lives of my clients everyday.
I have a special interest in treating clients for sports injuries and performance enhancment. I successfully use Deep Tissue Therapy and Myofascial Release when treating my clients. I have also specifically trained in the following areas:
- Craniosacral Therapy
- Dr. Vodder's Manual Lymphatic Drainage Level 1
- First Aid (CPR - Level C)
- Tri Certification - Bronze Cross, Bronze Medallion Senior Resuscitation
