Growing up, I knew I wanted a career that would combine my love of health sciences and helping people. In 2018, I graduated from Ontario Tech University with a Bachelor of Science Honors in Kinesiology. That same summer, I moved to Calgary and completed my 2200-hour Diploma in Massage Therapy from Mount Royal University. I now live and work in Airdrie, where I get to help people feel better and move better through massage therapy. My massage style combines therapeutic and relaxation techniques but is always tailored to what you’d like. Areas of interest include pre-and post-natal, pediatrics, postural conditions, as well as those suffering from headache and migraines and general stress. Whether you’re a child experiencing growing pains or a senior looking to maintain range of motion, I’d love to work with you to create a personalized massage therapy plan that supports your body’s needs. I’m always looking to learn additional techniques and tools to help my clients. I currently have additional training in Prenatal Massage and Dynamic Cupping. When I’m not massaging, I love spending time with my fiancé and pup travelling or spending time in the mountains!
