Following a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology in 2016 at the University of British Columbia, I returned to the island to complete the Registered Massage Therapy Program at WCCMT. I graduated from this 2200 hour program in August of 2018. My educational background in kinesiology and biomechanics has served as a particularly valuable foundation in understanding the human body as a whole while considering the source of an ailment. A holistic approach to manual therapy and nervous system regulation is at the heart of my practice.
The philosophy I subscribe to is simple: Under reasonable conditions, our bodies are proficient at healing themselves. My goal is to facilitate the natural healing process by listening to and understanding my client's needs in order to develop an individualised treatment plan that enhances their healing while reducing injury-related anxieties. Every treatment is uniquely tailored, however the general objectives are to improve function, reduce pain, and help prevent future injuries through client education and thoughtful treatment plans.
I have a particular interest in women’s health, nervous system entrainment and regulation, athletic injuries, postural strains (+prevention), repetitive strain injuries, stress/anxiety management, and post-training recovery. My clients tend to be active individuals looking to optimise their everyday wellness and sport performance/recovery.
“Natural forces within us are the true healers of disease.” — Hippocrates
This idea points to the body’s innate ability to regulate, repair, and restore itself under adequate conditions. When the nervous system is supported, it can shift the body into states where healing, recovery, and balance naturally occur. Massage therapy does not aim to impose healing from the outside only but rather creates the conditions for these internal forces to re-emerge, allowing the body to do what it was designed to do.
Kinesiology has been broadly defined by the BCAK as: Kinesiology is the scientific study of human movement, performance and function, and applies the sciences of anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, and motor learning (neuroscience). Kinesiology utilizes science-based approaches, research and assessment to aid in the enhancement of human performance and to assist in the prevention or rehabilitation of injury and other physiological conditions - British Columbia Association of Kinesiologists (BCAK)Read more about StephShow less
