Intent Health Team

I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, chronic emotional or physical pain, and the lasting impacts of relational trauma and loss. I also support those navigating significant life transitions or adapting to new cultural environments. Grounded in compassion and curiosity, I help clients reconnect with their resilience and capacity to heal.

I’m fascinated by the art and science of massage therapy. With a trauma-informed approach, and a special focus on pain and stress management, I enjoy helping people feel at ease in their bodies. I also facilitate discussions for students and RMTs to learn about current research and best practices in patient care.

I'm a firm believer that communication, collaboration, and consent are crucial for success in the therapeutic process. I'm particularly fond of working slowly, using relaxation massage as the framework upon which I add more targeted therapeutic techniques. I enjoy working with a wide variety of bodies, backgrounds, genders, and neurotypes.

I’m passionate about working with people experiencing pain - whether new, recurring or chronic.

Having studied the biology of pain at a graduate level, I also enjoy discussing factors that can influence the experience of pain, and helping people navigate the broader healthcare system to manage specific pain-related conditions.

I appreciate that each individual’s body and lived experience is unique. I take an approach to treatment that is investigative and exploratory, treating each area of the body in the context of the whole and encouraging movement. I am committed to providing a non-judgmental and safe space for all bodies and neurotypes.

(Please note: I am taking an extended period of time off and will have limited availability.)

I’m passionate about how the body works and moves. I integrate an intuitive approach while using therapeutic and relaxing techniques. I understand no two bodies are the same and tailor each treatment to meet the needs of my patients. I’m honoured to provide support and encouragement to everyone I treat.

(Please note: I have returned to school and have limited appointments available.)

I take a collaborative approach, engaging in non-judgmental listening to understand my patients’ unique needs. I enjoy creating an environment of relaxation while working to achieve my patients’ therapeutic goals. Drawing on my education in psychology and health sociology, I understand additional stressors which may be contributing to my patients’ clinical concerns.

I offer a therapeutic massage with light to medium pressure that has a calming effect on the nervous system. In today's hectic lifestyle, we often forget to pause and appreciate our own bodies. My goal is to provide a comfortable and cozy environment that allows you to focus 100% on yourself, enabling you to celebrate the amazing being that you are.
