My model of clinical practice is a client-centred approach. In my clinic, it is a fundamental part of the client experience that the client story can emerge. This allows you to share your history of your symptoms, what led you to this point, what is impacting you right now, what stress is occurring in your life, what your daily activities are, and how these might be contributing to your healing and movement. Most importantly, it allows you to be heard, and this is a large part of the healing nature of massage. When we are truly heard, we will feel calmer, and feeling calmer will help you to feel better.

Pain science is an area of deep interest for me. One of the roles of massage therapy on persistent pain is to create an analgesic effect on pain through a “conversation” with the nervous system. All touch sends information to the nervous system, working together we combine my knowledge about the body with the expertise YOU have about your body, and what you are feeling, to reach your goals for health and wellbeing.
