About
About your therapist
I have been a massage therapist for over 15 years, having worked in my own businesses and in day spas, hotels, and therapy centres (Camp Eden, Pacific Touch, Sofitel, Versace, Aromatouch). Now my attention is moving towards other touch and embodiment modalities which place less emphasis on muscles and more on mental health. The connection between our mind, body, and soul is fascinating to me, and has spurred my interests in spirituality, anatomy, the nervous system, nutrition, psychotherapy, and wellness for about twenty years.
Supportive touch is so immensely therapeutic. I believe it directly nourishes the soul. We all need connection and support, especially during certain episodes of our lives. I have completed a Diploma of Counselling and Psychotherapy, which has fed my desire to engage in somatic and embodied counselling in the future. So meanwhile, if I can’t touch you in person, I want to offer you simple mental and emotional support, through a phone call or maybe a support group.
Finally, I have decades of rather diverse life experience. Life has prepared me to digest others' stories with understanding and a lack of judgement. I believe I have much to share, to use, to heal. I hope I can help you.
