REGISTERED MASSAGE THERAPIST

I've been living and working as a Registered Massage Therapist in Golden, BC since 2015. I'm happy to be a part of the vibrant community that makes up this town. The inspiration behind my practice is to continue nurturing the vibrancy and vitality of our community through facilitating awareness of a person's well-bing through alignment with their true self. I believe that we are all able to bring this quality of well-being into our relationships and our world by first recognizing the potential in one's own self. I use massage and craniosacral therapy to help facilitate a deeper connection to one's physical body so that this awareness can provide feedback to strengthen the intuitive messaging system that already exists in each of us. This awareness then helps us to better access what our body desires to feel whole and well!
I was drawn to Massage Therapy after finishing a Bachelors Degree in Human Kinetics. This education gave me a solid 'backbone' in human biology, anatomy, and physiology. My love for movement, sport, and working with people in a meaningful way led me to pursue massage therapy whilst still working seasonally at backcountry lodges in the Rockies. Upon settling in Golden, I sought to develop a practice in craniosacral therapy in order to honour the collective need for connection within our physical and energetic bodies. Now, I balance my time between building connections through my Self, my family and friends, my garden, physical movement, nature, my practice and my community. I have completed my Craniosacral Therapy training with The Upledger Institute in CST1, CST2, SER1, SER2, and ADV1. I enjoy continuously learning from the wisdom of the body and about peoples unique experience within their own body. |

ABOUT CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY
WHAT IS CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY?
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the function of the craniosacral system- the system responsible for the flow of essential fluid between the cranium (head) and the sacrum (base of spine) via the spinal cord. This craniosacral system is directly linked to the function of the Central Nervous System. The therapist assesses and facilitates the body to release subtle restrictions in this system that may be causing pain or disfunction. CST compliments the body's natural healing processes and can be used to treat a variety of conditions including:
WHAT IS SOMATOEMOTIONAL RELEASE?
Somatoemotional Release (SER) is a release of emotion stored in the physical body which can occur naturally during a craniosacral session. Through the power of your awareness, listening, and presence, your body's messaging system can lead you to stored energy that may inhibiting connection. By way of sensation, images, colour, taste, memory or feeling, your body can communicate through creativity how to move or integrate an energy that may be inhibiting connection or flow.
Craniosacral therapy sessions are very experiential and can differ between persons and between sessions.

WHAT TO EXPECT FOR YOUR FIRST CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY SESSION?
Unlike massage therapy, you will remain fully clothed for the treatment so it is best to wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothing. You will be lying on your back for the entire session. I will often start by holding your feet to assess the body and will then move to the areas that require attention in a sequence of priority your body directs. Some areas may cue me to ask you what you may be feeling in that specific part of the body. The physical sensations or emotions that may come up in that area can be relevant to the release of that particular restriction in the body. You may experience a deep sense of calm during or after the treatment is over. Because CST works with the body's natural healing process, subtle shifts and changes in the body may even continue to be felt days after the session as your body integrates those changes.
