Holistic Registered Massage Therapy (RMT)

I graduated from Sutherland Chan massage therapy school back in 2011 but my initiations into this line of work have been unfolding for much longer.

As a child of two massage therapist parents (who were raised in a seventh day adventist reformist church and later excommunicated because of my conception) and granddaughter to midwives, bodyworkers, and plant medicine community healers, I learned the importance of the body and was also taught about the "good and bad" of religious institutions from a very early age.

Growing up I was always drawn to understand human pain and suffering as well as spiritual development; I'm grateful to come from a lineage of life and death weavers that were and are still able to nurture, cultivate and mentor that yearning within me.

During my years of deep struggle and resilience I dove deeply into dance, sex magic, body language and touch as ways of moving energy and power but also as a way of understanding deep communication. My background in these art forms is what gives me a unique lens in how I engage with my clients and with the world around me.

I believe everything we perceive outside of ourselves feeds our collective bodies on the social, systemic, and cultural planes and even deeper than that on a psycho-spiritual-energeticl level within the collective body held within each individual being.

What many Bodyworkers, Practitioners, and Therapists of all kinds are taught in school is helpful on some level but what most of us don't understand is that these forms of colonial institutional education does, is perpetuate a lot of the suffering we feel and see within ourselves and those around us, without even knowing it.

My intention with this work is to break open the stories we carry within our bodies in order to co-weave new medicine stories for the generations to come.
