I obtained a Human Kinetics degree from the University of Guelph and completed my studies at Calgary's Foothills College of Massage Therapy in 2003. While massage therapy offers numerous health benefits, I felt compelled to enhance my ability to assist my clients further. During my massage training, I was introduced to acupuncture, which prompted me to pursue education in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture. In 2014, I successfully graduated from the Canadian Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The realm of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine is vast, offering insights into how we can navigate the challenges of the modern world, both physically and socially. I consider myself to be a lifelong learner within this field.

I have a particular interest in assisting individuals who are grappling with persistent stress and the complications that stem from it. As an individual who is actively involved, I also like helping individuals who are experiencing muscle or tendon ailments like repetitive strain injuries, recuperation after engaging in physically demanding activities over the weekend, and traumatic injuries. I believe that empowering my clients through education enables them to actively participate in their recovery process and ensures their ability to avoid future injuries.
