I completed my studies at the Vancouver College of Massage Therapy. I graduated on the honour roll and with an award for Distinction and Recognition. In my graduating case study, I focused on relieving headaches through the use of myofascial release therapy to decrease the symptoms and tension around the upper back, neck and shoulders.
Before becoming a massage therapist, I enjoyed an active and healthy lifestyle. My favourite hobbies are hiking, running, meditation, bodybuilding, camping, yoga and travelling.
In the early years of her career, I experienced multiple injuries that ignited my passion and journey of therapy and healing involving massage, physiotherapy, chiropractic and acupuncture and osteopathy. Throughout my path and studies, I gained a deeper understanding of healing and recovering from pains and injuries to achieve long-lasting results.
In my practice, I use techniques such as Graston, Temporo-mandibular joint release, relaxing Swedish massage, myofascial release, GTO release, trigger point therapy, passive and active stretching, dynamic release therapy and patient education. My treatment approach is tailored to the individual, using light to deep pressure depending upon the preference and needs of each patient.
I have a deep passion for constantly improving myself and my knowledge base and I look forward to continuing to expand my skills. A lifelong interest in health and a belief in the body’s ability to heal keeps me enthusiastic about helping you achieve your health and wellness goal.
I am fluent in English, and Spanish. At the moment I am learning Greek.
