I began practicing massage therapy in 2005, long before I imagined my work would expand into studies of psychology, embodiment, and counselling.

What initially drew me to bodywork was a desire to help people in a tangible and connected way, alongside a growing curiosity about the relationship between physical tension, emotional experience, and the ways in which we carry our histories within the body.

Over the past two decades, my practice has evolved from rehabilitation-focused clinical work toward a slower, more relational and healing-centred approach. I am particularly interested in helping people explore longstanding patterns of tension, deepen their relationship with their body, and cultivate greater awareness of how they inhabit themselves physically and emotionally.

My work continues to be informed by studies in neuroscience, trauma, identity, mindfulness, and somatic awareness. I have also trained in craniosacral therapy through the Upledger Institute, which continues to influence my attentive, intuitive, and slower-paced approach to therapeutic massage.

Outside of practice, I am a mother, writer, student, and lifelong learner. As a gay, cis woman, my research on LGBTQ+ identity has further shaped my appreciation for the ways in which identity, stress, belonging, and emotional experience are carried within the body. I am currently co-editing a collection of stories exploring LGBTQ+ identity transformation in adulthood.

I value spaces that feel calm, grounded, thoughtful, and affirming — qualities I aim to bring into the therapeutic environment for clients. I appreciate working with people who are interested in knowing themselves more deeply, listening closely to their embodied experience, and reconnecting with the quieter language of the body beneath the pace and demands of daily life.

Based in Halifax’s North End, I offer sessions in a setting designed to support rest, reconnection, and attentive care.
